391 Bus Route Madinah: Shuran to Al-Arid District   Dear All, here are the more details about the 391 Bus Route Madinah | Route 391 connects the Shuran district with Al-Arid District, and is documented in a 2025 network overview as one of the network's 22-hour daily service routes, with 56 stops, making it the longest route by stop count among every Madinah route researched for this guide so far. The same overview groups Route 391 alongside nine other 22-hour routes as part of the network's phased rollout toward its eventual target of 15 routes and 455 stops citywide, a plan the Authority has pursued for over three years as part of Saudi Vision 2030's transport goals. No source reviewed names any of Route 391's 56 individual stops beyond its two end districts, Shuran and Al-Arid, so this guide does not invent a stop-by-stop list. Confirm the current stops in the Madinah Bus app.   Route 391 Details Detail Info Bus number 391 Route type…

490 Bus Route Madinah: Airport District to Al-Aliyah   Dear All, here are the more details about the 490 Bus Route Madinah | Route 490 links the Airport District with Al-Aliyah, and is documented in a 2025 network overview as a 22-hour daily service route with 44 stops, one of the network's longer corridors. Al-Aliyah is a recurring name across the Madinah Bus network's official documentation, also serving as the destination for Route 109's Al-Aliya Mall Bus Station and as the designated transfer point for the Authority's seasonal shuttle services to Quba Mosque during Ramadan, Hajj and Eid, which suggests Route 490 may feed into that same district hub, though this is not stated directly for Route 490 itself. No source reviewed names Route 490's 44 individual stops beyond its two end areas, Airport District and Al-Aliyah, so this guide does not invent a stop-by-stop list.   Route 490 Details Detail Info Bus number 490 Route type 22-ho…

Red Route Sightseeing Bus Madinah: A Hop-On Hop-Off Tour of 12 Historic Sites   Dear All, here are the more details about the Red Route Sightseeing Bus Madinah | Unlike the numbered public bus routes covered elsewhere in this guide, Madinah's Red Route is a dedicated open-top hop-on hop-off sightseeing service, organized under the supervision of the Al Madinah Region Development Authority, built specifically for visitors wanting to see the city's historical and Prophetic-era sites in one guided outing. Saudipedia describes the tour's route as covering twelve sites: the Prophet's Mosque, Al-Manakha Square, the Beautiful Names of Allah Exhibition, Bab Al-Salam, Uhud Mountain, Al-Noor Mall, Sultana Road, Al-Qiblatayn Mosque, the Battle of the Trench site, Quba Mosque, Hejaz Railway Station and Quba Avenue. A separate operator listing on GetYourGuide describes the same tour as running along two different routes with 12 stops in total, sold as a 24-hour ticket. Live r…

109 Bus Route Madinah: Sayyid Al-Shuhada to Al-Aliya Mall via Quba Mosque   Dear All, here are the more details about the 109 Bus Route Madinah | Route 109 is one of two routes the Al Madinah Region Development Authority names specifically for reaching Quba Mosque, the first mosque built in Islam, and it is the more far-reaching of the two, running 24 hours a day between Sayyid Al-Shuhada Bus Station and Al-Aliya Mall Bus Station. An official announcement carried by the Saudi Press Agency in June 2025 gives Route 109's stations in order: it begins at Sayyid Al-Shuhada Bus Station, then stops at the Northern Central Bus Station, described as adjacent to the Prophet's Mosque, then Quba Mosque Station, and finally Al-Aliya Mall Bus Station. Buses run every 20 minutes, around the clock. Sayyid Al-Shuhada is also named repeatedly across separate Al Madinah Region Development Authority announcements as one of the network's key hub districts, including as a designated s…

130 Bus Route Madinah: Al-Miqat to the Haramain High-Speed Railway   Dear All, here are the more details about the 130 Bus Route Madinah: Route 130 connects Al-Miqat, one of the boundary points where pilgrims enter the state of Ihram, with the Haramain High-Speed Railway station, passing Uhud Hospital, Al-Salam Gate and Al-Khalidiyah along the way. A 2026 route schedule from Destination KSA names this pairing directly: 130, Meeqat to Haramain High-Speed Railway. A separate 2025 route guide from KSA Expats describes one of the network's routes with the same key stops, Al-Miqat, Uhud Hospital, Al-Salam Gate and Al-Khalidiyah, running 6:00 am to 10:00 pm at the standard SAR 3.45 fare, though it does not label that route by number, so the two sources are treated here as describing the same corridor without full certainty. For pilgrims arriving by the Haramain High-Speed Railway and needing to reach Al-Miqat to begin Ihram, this route is a direct, official public tran…

150 Bus Route Madinah: Al-Faisaliyah to Wadi Madhinib   Dear All, here are the more details about the 150 Bus Route Madinah | Route 150 links Al-Faisaliyah with Wadi Madhinib, and a route guide covering the network describes a matching corridor passing the King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex, King Fahad Hospital and Al-Aliyah. Destination KSA's 2026 schedule names the pairing directly: 150, Al-Faisaliyah to Wadi Madhinib. A separate 2025 route guide from KSA Expats describes a route with these same three key stops running 6:00 am to 10:00 pm at the standard fare, though again without a route number attached, so the match between the two sources is treated as probable rather than certain. The King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex is a notable landmark on this corridor, one of the world's largest Quran printing facilities, located in Madinah.   Route 150 Details Detail Info Bus number 150 Route type Local route serving the Kin…

190 Bus Route Madinah: Sayyid Al-Shuhada Square to Al-Aaliyah   Dear All, here are the more details about the 190 Bus Route Madinah | Route 190 connects Sayyid Al-Shuhada Square, named after the Battle of Uhud martyrs, with Al-Aaliyah, and a route guide covering the network describes a matching corridor along Prince Sultan Road through Al-Qasswa. Destination KSA's 2026 schedule names the pairing directly: 190, Sayyid al-Shuhada Square to Al-Aaliyah. A separate 2025 route guide from KSA Expats names Sayyed Al-Shuhada Square, Prince Sultan Road and Al-Qasswa as key stops for a route running 6:00 am to 10:00 pm at the standard fare, without a route number attached, so the match is probable rather than certain. Sayyid Al-Shuhada Square is also named in official announcements as one of the starting areas for the network's dedicated Ramadan shuttle routes to the Prophet's Mosque, underlining its role as a significant transit point in the city.   Route 190 Deta…

191 Bus Route Madinah: Al-Khalidiyah to Al-Qaswa   Dear All, here are the more details about the 191 Bus Route Madinah | Route 191 connects Al-Khalidiyah with Al-Qaswa, and Al-Khalidiyah is also named in official announcements as one of the districts served by the network's Ramadan shuttle service to the Prophet's Mosque. Destination KSA's 2026 schedule names the pairing directly: 191, Al-Khalidiyah to Al-Qaswa. Because Route 130 is separately documented as passing through Al-Khalidiyah, Al-Salam Gate, Uhud Hospital and Al-Miqat on its way to the Haramain High-Speed Railway, this guide notes those landmarks only as context for the district, not as confirmed Route 191 stops, since no source directly gives Route 191's own stop list. Given the overlap in district names between Routes 130 and 191, riders in the Al-Khalidiyah area should check the Madinah Bus app to see which specific route serves their exact stop.   Route 191 Details Detail Info …

390 Bus Route Madinah: King Fahd District to Quba Mosque   Dear All, here are the more details about the 390 Bus Route Madinah | Route 390 is one of the best-documented lines in the Madinah Bus network, running from the King Fahd District Bus Station to Quba Mosque Station, the first mosque built in Islam. An official announcement from the Al Madinah Region Development Authority, carried by the Saudi Press Agency, confirms this route runs daily from 6:00 am to midnight, with departures every 20 minutes, passing through several neighbourhoods and transit stops between the two named stations. This is one of two primary routes the same announcement names for reaching Quba Mosque, the other being Route 109 from Sayyid al-Shuhada Bus Station, so riders coming from a different part of the city have a choice of which route serves them more directly.   Route 390 Details Detail Info Bus number 390 Route type Direct route to Quba Mosque Ma…

400 Bus Route Madinah: The Airport to the Prophet's Mosque   Dear All, here are the more details about the 400 Bus Route Madinah | Route 400 is Madinah's main airport link, connecting Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport directly with the Prophet's Mosque, and runs around the clock, making it a key option for pilgrims arriving on late or early flights. A 2025 route guide names it directly as the main airport link, running 24 hours a day, and a separate 2025 route guide from KSA Expats gives the same two key stops, the airport and the Prophet's Mosque, with the same 24-hour operating hours, though at the higher SAR 11.5 fare charged on the network's specialized routes. Destination KSA's 2026 schedule also lists 400 as Airport to Prophet's Mosque, corroborating both other sources on this route's identity and purpose.   Route 400 Details Detail Info Bus number 400 Route type Specialized 24-hour airport connector Main …

404 Bus Route Madinah: Qiblatain Mosque to Quba Mosque   Dear All, here are the more details about the 404 Bus Route Madinah |  Route 404 links two of Madinah's most historically significant mosques directly: Qiblatain Mosque, where the direction of prayer was changed from Jerusalem to Makkah, and Quba Mosque, the first mosque built in Islam. A 2025 route guide describes this route running approximately every 20 minutes, with an average journey time of 19 minutes between the two mosques, making it a practical option for visitors wanting to see both historic sites in one outing. No source reviewed names any intermediate stops between the two mosques, so this guide treats it as a direct connector rather than a multi-stop local route.   Route 404 Details Detail Info Bus number 404 Route type Direct connector between two historic mosques Main starting point Qiblatain Mosque Main destination Quba Mosque Stations 2 named t…

450 Bus Route Madinah: Al-Mab'uth to Al-Uyun Oasis   Dear All, here are the more details about the 450 Bus Route Madinah |  Route 450 is documented only by its two end points in the sources reviewed: Al-Mab'uth and Al-Uyun Oasis, according to Destination KSA's 2026 route schedule. No other source reviewed, including the more detailed KSA Expats and Marhabein route guides, names Route 450 or gives further detail on its stops, frequency, or operating hours specific to this line. Given how little is confirmed, this guide treats Route 450 as a real but thinly documented route and does not invent intermediate stops, a schedule, or a frequency that no source supports.   Route 450 Details Detail Info Bus number 450 Route type Not detailed beyond its two named end points in the sources reviewed Main starting point Al-Mab'uth Main destination Al-Uyun Oasis Stations Not published beyond the two named end points Operating …
