Guidance: Landing in Jeddah at 8 am on a Friday; will I be able to make it to the Friday Prayer in Haram on time?

Question

Salam. Basically what the title says. I am going for Umrah in January Insha Allah. My flight has been delayed and will now land in Jeddah at 8 am on a Friday. Do I have enough time to pray the friday prayer in Haram in Makkah?

I am a guy in early 20s and going with a friend who is the same age as me. How long should it take from landing to getting our immigration done? Should we take the train to Makkah or will a taxi be better? We are staying at Voco Hotel in Makkah. How long would it take to reach our hotel from Jeddah? How much would it cost? Otherwise, the most suitable train leaves at 9 30 am and we would have to take a taxi from the station to the Haram.

Would appreciate any help. Thank you!
