Excellent Umrah Experience with Al Makkawi – Highly Recommended

Alhamdulillah, my family and I had a smooth and spiritually uplifting Umrah experience with Al Makkawi this month. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and we were in safe hands under the guidance of Brother Arif. His calm and knowledgeable approach made a significant difference, as he provided invaluable insights into Makkah and Madinah, enriching our pilgrimage.

Like any journey, there were some logistical challenges, particularly with hotel locations due to ongoing construction around the Haram. However, Brother Arif handled these issues efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to our experience. One key takeaway from this trip is the importance of flexibility—there will always be some hurdles, but ultimately, we must trust that Allah swt has invited us to His house and will ensure a successful pilgrimage, inshaAllah.

We often hear unpleasant stories about unreliable tour operators, but I am pleased to say that our experience with Al Makklawi was nothing like that. Everything was well-planned, including our ziyarats, which were pre-booked with comfortable transport. The group size was also very manageable, allowing for a more personal and stress-free journey.

While we did arrange our own visit to Jabal Al Noor and Cave Hira, our group had already been taken to see it from a distance the day before. This level of organization and thoughtfulness made the entire trip seamless and fulfilling.

I highly recommend Al Makkawi for anyone considering Umrah. May Allah accept our pilgrimage and grant others the opportunity to visit His sacred houses of Makkah and Madinah.

My husband and I went to perform our Hajj with Al-makkawi Travels. We had the best experience of our lives. Brother Arif was wonderful and very accommodating, he made sure all the pilgrims were well looked after and informed us all of the activities that were to take place during our Hajj. Furthermore, we had Brother Hadi who was a knowledgeable scholar informing us of what to pray and when to pray which was very helpful and beneficial. Finally, you won’t regret booking your travels with Al-makkawi, they are professional, reliable and trustworthy. They have a lot of experience and I hope I will be going with them again soon inshaAllah!

Aslaamailkum,
Alhamdullilah Just come back from hajj. Unfortunately brother Arif was unable to join us at the start of hajj we missed him so much. His talks which he makes very interesting, he is very knowledgeable and speaks local language fluently. Brother Arif kept in contact with us through out our stay in Makkah via step by step guidance. He was in Medina waiting to welcome us all. Took excellent care of us all.
Jazakallah Khair brother Allah SWT reward.
Highly recommend Al-Makkawi hajj & Umrah travel.
In shaa Allah in future will definitely use Al-Makkawi and recommend too.

Asalamualaykum,

Brother Arif was an exceptional group leader, who shared his knowledge throughout the entirety of the trip. He was very informative and guided us throughout the whole Umrah experience. We had 3 wheelchairs within our group and he still accommodated us well. I would definitely recommend Makkawi Travel!!

I traveled to do Umrah with Al- Makkawi Travels and received excellent customer service. Step by step guidance was provided both before and during the trip.
Going for the first time I wished to travel with an organisation that would help with the process. Al- Makkawi travels was recommended by people who had been using their service for 20 years. Now I see why they go back with them again and again. I will be using them again now as well inshallah soon.
The whole process of Umrah has been lovely, the group leader Arif was there to answer all questions before travelling, he was there when we arrived at the airport, there with us while we did our Umrah, guiding us all the way. The days in Makkah and Madinah for the Ziyarats and all the coach journeys he was continually educating us on both Islamic and geographical history.
The kindness and patience he showed with my elderly parents who are wheelchair users was heart warming. He has received so many duas from us.
His focus on prayers and guiding with timings etc to allow us to read Jummah etc in both Makkah and Madina was invaluable. He was always on call, coming often to check if everyone was ok, and if we needed any support.
Accommodation provided was excellent, close in Makkkah and right opposite in Madina, we could not have asked for more.
I will be using them again, I will be recommending them to my friends and family and recommend that if you want a trouble free, peaceful Umrah Al- Makkawi travels is the one.

My family and I performed our first Umrah in October 23 with Al Makkawi, guided by Brother Arif who I have known for many years as I was a student of his. We had the most amazing experience ever thanks to Br Arif who explained everything so clearly from start to finish. Thank you so much
