Makkah
Makkah Province
The first holy city of Islam, home to the Kaaba and the Great Mosque, Masjid al-Haram.
Umrah and Hajj: Makkah and Madina
The two holy cities, organised end to end: flight, accommodation, transfers and the link between Makkah and Madina, for Umrah as for Hajj.
An Umrah trip almost always combines the two cities: Makkah for the rites at Masjid al-Haram, Madina for Masjid an-Nabawi. Which comes first is decided by the flights and by what accommodation is available.
Arrival is through Jeddah, about 90 kilometres from Makkah, or through Madina. The Haramain high-speed line connects the three cities and has replaced most road transfers.
What we take care of: the flight, accommodation chosen by its distance from the mosque, transfers and accompaniment throughout. Visa requirements change regularly and are checked at the time of booking.
Hajj differs from Umrah on two counts: its dates, fixed from 8 to 13 Dhul Hijjah, and its framework, with places allocated by country and organisation in Morocco falling to the Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs and to licensed agencies.
