Key Takeaways

Buggies (golf carts) run along the Quba Walkway to Masjid Quba, with pickup points at Gate 333, Gate 310, and near Masjid Al-Ghamamah in front of Elaf Al Taqwa Hotel.
Fares usually range between 10 and 20 SAR per person for a one-way trip, and cash or card payments are accepted.
The ride takes around 10 to 15 minutes depending on the crowd, and a return buggy is available from the same drop-off point near Masjid Quba.

Walking to Masjid Quba is common among pilgrims in Madinah, but a buggy ride offers a quicker way to see the streets along the route.

Where to Catch a Buggy

Buggies pick up passengers from three main points:

Gate 333
Gate 310
Near Masjid Al-Ghamamah, in front of Elaf Al Taqwa Hotel

Fares by Location

Pickup Point	Typical Fare (One Way)
Gate 310 / Masjid Al-Ghamamah	10 SAR
Gate 333	20 SAR

Prices can change, so pilgrims should confirm the fare with the driver before boarding.

Payment and Travel Time

Most buggy services accept cash and debit or credit cards. The trip to Masjid Quba takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how busy the walkway is.

Getting Back to Masjid an-Nabawi

After visiting Masjid Quba, pilgrims can catch another buggy from the same drop-off area in front of the mosque for the return trip to Masjid an-Nabawi.

Before You Go

Pilgrims are encouraged to perform wudu before visiting Masjid Quba. The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever purifies themselves and then goes to Masjid Quba and prays there will have a reward like that of performing an Umrah.
