Choosing your dates & duration (8 vs 9 vs 11 days)

• 8-day: tightest itinerary; perfect when annual leave is minimal.

• 9-day: most popular balance of rest + worship.

• 11-day: more Madinah time and flexibility.

Look at your public holidays and possible red-eye options; then check Next Departures on our Packages page.

Group Package vs Private (“Umrah My Way”)

• Group: best price, zero guesswork, scholar-guided in English.

• Private: choose your dates, hotel tier, add-ons and pace—also fully in English.

If you need exact dates (e.g., around work or school), start with Private Umrah. If your dates are flexible, a listed cohort is fastest.

Documents & permits (plain English)

We’ll provide a checklist and guide you through visas and Nusuk permits (Saudi’s official platform for Umrah & Rawdah services). You’ll receive simple English instructions and reminders at each step.  

You’ll typically need:

• Passport with at least 6 months validity from your travel date

• A recent passport photo (digital)

• Basic personal details for forms

• Payment method for deposit/balance

Hotels & walking-minutes (trust > stars)

We prioritise proximity. On package pages you’ll see walking minutes to Masjid al-Haram and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. Shorter walks mean more time for worship and less fatigue. Al-Masjid an-Nabawi

Money, eSIMs & apps

• Money: multi-currency card + small SAR cash for tips.

• eSIM: buy before departure; keep data active for WhatsApp updates.

• Apps: prayer times, maps, and your airline/hotel apps for quick check-ins.

Packing essentials (SG edition)

Travel light. Quick-dry clothing, a compact prayer mat, comfortable walking footwear, basic meds, and a modest outfit for flights. Keep power bank + cables in your carry-on.

Pre-departure briefing (in English)

A concise session that covers daily routines, meeting points, etiquette and safety—plus how we’ll communicate during the trip.

On-trip routine & tips

Expect timely updates, clear meeting points and a calm, guided pace. For Rawdah and other crowd-sensitive moments, we’ll brief you beforehand and support you in English.
