West Riyadh sits along the Tuwaiq escarpment and Wadi Hanifa, with fast-growing districts and the main highway out towards Taif, Makkah and Jeddah. Sajil's two west Riyadh branches make it easy to pick up a car close to home, or right on your way out of the city.

The natural start for trips to the Hijaz
If you are heading to Taif, Makkah or Jeddah, a west Riyadh branch puts you straight onto the highway without crossing the city. Taif is roughly 780 km away and Sajil has a branch there, so you can choose to return the car in Taif. For the full route read Riyadh to Jeddah and Makkah by car via Taif.
