Umrah/Hajj

[Helios]

Used travel agent only for visa, made travel arrangement by myself (Hotel booking and plane ticket), for transportation its usually easy to move around Makka/Madina/Jeddah using taxis out of hajj season.

I have a friend living in Makka who would guide me through transportation. I just wanted to check for the visa thing. Thanks Allah yqbal

Amin, thank you.

Visa costed around 300dhs and took 10 days to be issued, not all travel agents will get visa only as most of them require to take the full package.

Umra maqboola Inshallah.

Thank you for the info. I will try to issue the visa and do everything by myself

Hi. Can you please advise which travel agency does visas only? My hubby and I also have plans to go but want to book our flights and hotels separately and on our own. Thanks in advance.

As far as my knowledge ,its extremely expensive to go from UAE ,so I performed it by initiating all the Hajj formalities from Pakistan ......... was unbelieveably cheap there ..
so dont know about your budgets so hard to comment !!!

For Hajj I know it's expensive from UAE, also it's allowed to go only for uae citizens. And from my country i can't go also because priority is given to old people. So i can only do Umrah for now. It's ok to pay what ever to go

For UAE citizens ,I guess its free ... pity in uae as an islamic neighboring country ,cost is shooting thru the roof ....
But appreciate the determination 'to pay whatever to go' !!!

It's not free It's even very expensive for UAE citizens as they always make their bookings in 5 stars hotels in front of the Haram Mosque. I guess it may reach 50.000 AED for Hajj... which extremely high cost, and not related to the spirit of the occasion

the one that i use is located in burdubai.. its called Al Hamar/Shahba Travel Agency for Umrah and Hajj Services.. the contact numbers are as follows:

050-7768400
050-2429083
04-3577767

this yr will be my second yr with them and they have been very reliable till date.. they will give u visa only or full package its basically upto u. i have always gone for visa only option since bookings/tickets otherwise are cheaper if u do it directly or through booking.com

Let me know if you need any further assistance.
