Your first Umrah should begin with a clear plan. Use this guide to compare what you are being offered, prepare your questions and check official requirements before confirming your journey.

Start with your family’s needs

  • Agree on a departure city, travel month and a realistic budget for everyone travelling.
  • Discuss walking comfort, luggage and room sharing before choosing a package. Ask the operator about suitable arrangements rather than assuming a tier covers every need.

Compare the whole package, not its headline price

  • Request named Makkah and Madinah hotels, number of nights, room occupancy and the walking route to the mosques.
  • Compare Quad, Triple and Double prices on the same per-person basis. Ask which transfers, meals, visa assistance and Ziyarat visits are included.

Check your permitted travel route

  • Use the official Nusuk information and the relevant visa authority to check the route that applies to your passport and circumstances.
  • Confirm any permit and appointment requirements before travel. Do not assume Umrah arrangements also permit Hajj.

Prepare documents and a written quotation

  • Ask for the final document checklist for your nationality and visa route; submit clear copies through the agreed secure channel.
  • Before paying, obtain dates, inclusions, exclusions, total charges and cancellation terms in writing.

Questions to ask STT Holiday

  • Can you compare available 15-day and 30-day options for our dates?
  • What are the exact hotel names, distances, sharing prices and payment terms?
