Tips
1. Download offline google maps for your whole journery wherever you are planning to visit.
2. Try to reach Saudi Arabia after Fajr and drive in day light at least for the first time because there are no street lights there on the highway. You will find one and two lane highways with no lights but speed cameras equipped.
3. Refill fuel even your car tank is half full or 60% as fuel stations are 150+ kms away from each other.
4. Try to avoid restaurants nearby Haram Shareef. Food is expensive and tasteless.
5. Keep snacks and water in your car. And take stops every three hours for 10 mins at least so your body can relax.
6. Keep small pillows for back and neck support as the journey is long to avoid pain discomforts.
7. Please please rest and sleep for sometime at any fuel station / rest area if you feel tired, dizzy or sleepy. Dont rush to reach your destination. Its better to reach late than not to reach. May Allah SWT protect us all.
8. Avoid unpaid parking in Makkah, car will be clamped and immobilized until you pay the fine.
