Your Travel Guide

Practical tips to help you prepare for your trip — whether you're flying off on holiday or travelling for Umrah & Hajj.

General Travel Tips

Check Your Passport

Most countries require at least 6 months' validity remaining on your passport from your date of travel — check well before you book.

Get Travel Insurance

Cover for medical emergencies, cancellations and lost baggage is strongly recommended for every trip. Ask us about options when you book.

Sort Your Travel Money

Order your foreign currency ahead of time to avoid poor airport exchange rates — see our Travel Money service.

Check Baggage Allowances

Allowances vary by airline and ticket type. Confirm your cabin and hold baggage limits before you pack to avoid airport fees.

Check Health & Vaccination Advice

Some destinations require or recommend specific vaccinations. Check official travel health advice in good time before you fly.

Pack the Right Adapter

Plug types and voltages vary by country — a universal adapter is a small thing that saves a lot of hassle.

Preparing for Your Sacred Journey

Learn the Rites in Advance

Familiarise yourself with the steps of Umrah before you travel — our group leaders are also on hand to guide you throughout.

Pack Comfortable Ihram/Modest Clothing

Comfortable, breathable clothing makes a big difference across long days of walking and worship in Makkah and Madinah heat.

Confirm Your Visa & Documents Early

Umrah & Hajj visas have their own requirements — our team handles this as part of your package, so start the process early.
