20 Reasons to Travel with Us


1

Hajj in accordance with the way of the Prophet

We strive to follow the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who said, “Take from me your (Hajj) rites”.

2
Friendly and helpful tour guides who speak fluent English

Our guides are specifically trained to cater to your needs. Most have many years of experience in guiding pilgrims throughout Hajj.

3
Religious lectures in English

Hajj is not a holiday; it’s a spiritual duty performed for the sake of Allah. We have arranged lectures from a number of international speakers, not only about the Hajj itself, but also about other important Islamic issues. We really do want this journey to be a life-changing experience.

4
Doctor for medical advice

Our Deluxe package has a dedicated doctor travelling with the group for any medical advice. Hajj can be physically demanding and, due to the sheer numbers of pilgrims, it is easy to get sick during the tour. Our friendly and helpful doctor will be there to answer any medical questions.

5
Fast-track coaches on government-only roads

There are two types of roads available to transport pilgrims between the sacred lands (Mina, Arafah, Muzdalifah) during the days of Hajj: government-only roads and roads that are open to the public. Many operators advertise ‘private coaches’ but this poses a major problem: private coaches may legally only travel on the roads that are open to the general public. As such, short journeys often take six or seven hours on these roads since these same roads are shared with everyone: coaches, private cars, service providers for the pilgrims, local pilgrims, etc. The same journeys on government-authorised coaches can take only 20 or 30 minutes since these coaches are allowed to travel on the government-only roads. What’s the catch? Our walk to the jamarat (four days) can take around 40 minutes since we will be in the European designated tents. We have found in our experience that this trade-off is well worth it – especially since we are in the extra services section in the European section of Mina.

6
Full-board meals during the Hajj days

All our packages come included with full-board meals during the days of Hajj in Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafah. Check your specific package to find out which meals are included during your stay in the hotels in Makkah and Madinah.

7
Pre-Hajj seminar in the UK

All our guests will be invited to attend a pre-Hajj seminar in the UK. This is to ensure that you’re prepared for this great experience so you’re not in for any major surprises when you arrive. Hajj can be physically demanding and does need preparation. We want to make sure that you have all the guidance you need before you embark on this life-changing journey.

8
We can arrange your sacrifice

We can arrange your Hajj sacrifice which is obligatory upon all pilgrims performing tamattu’ and qiran for a small fee so you don’t have to worry about it.

9
We try and make your Hajj as easy as possible

We genuinely care about our guests and we want to make sure that we do everything in our control so you can enjoy a safe and easy journey.

10
Tour of Historic Places

We provide an informative tour of some of the historic places in the sacred lands.

11
We do all the work, leaving you to focus on your spiritual purpose

You should not have to worry about the arrangements; that’s our job. You should be focusing on the spiritual purpose of your Hajj so leave us to take care of everything else.

12
Experience

Our guides have many years of experience organising Hajj. We have built on this experience to provide exceptional service and quality. We really do try and pay attention to detail.

13
Small deposit to secure your place

You can secure your place (subject to availability) by paying a small deposit online.

14
No hidden extras

The price we quote is the price you pay.

15
Passion

We have a very strong passion for Hajj. That passion helps us to make the right decisions (insha Allah) throughout the tour.

16
Peace of mind

We are fully bonded with the CAA and hold an ATOL licence so you can travel in confidence insha Allah.

17
You’re in safe hands

We have an extensive network of local contacts and operators throughout Saudi Arabia who can assist if anything should go wrong on the tour. The mystery of Hajj is in its unpredictability due to the great logistics in managing 3-million extra people in such a small area. Nevertheless, it’s nice to know that that risk is minimised when travelling with us, insha Allah.

18
Ease of booking

We have an online booking facility so you can secure your place subject to availability. You can fill in your visa forms, submit documents and photos all online from our website.

19
Early-bird discount

Book early and receive an early-bird discount on all our packages. Bookings are strictly on a first come, first served basis and discounts are only available for a limited time.

20
Be part of our ‘Hajj family’

Hajj really is a unique experience. We’ll spend a number of days together – as a ‘family’ – all performing the same religious rites. We’ll be dressed in similar attire and will be staying together in the same tents during the days of Hajj. This great experience creates a unique bond that often lasts for years to come after the Hajj has finished. We hope that you’ll feel part of this close ‘family’.
