Planning your Travel?
Let our experts provide guidance.
Performing Umrah is a sacred journey, not just a trip. But before booking your Umrah package, there are many important things to check to ensure your journey is safe, authorised, and peaceful.

Always begin by checking if the company is IATA certified.
If not, it’s not a proper travel company – just an agent pretending to be an Umrah consultant.
Such agents usually have no authorised system for booking flights, visas, or hotels.
They might send you for Umrah through unreliable or unauthorised channels, which can cause serious problems at immigration or even in Saudi Arabia.
A genuine IATA number is easy to verify on the official IATA Number Checker website.

When you book through a certified company like Aimah Tours, you travel with peace of mind knowing every step like visa, flight, hotel, and ziyarah is officially arranged.
A real company will always have a working website with online booking options, detailed itineraries, and clear terms and conditions.
Go through their website and read their terms, privacy, and payment policies carefully.
If they only deal through WhatsApp or PDFs and have no online presence, it’s a red flag — such people can easily disappear after taking payment.
Also, check if they have a verified Google Business Profile, genuine reviews, and active social media accounts showing real pilgrims.
💬 Example: Fake agents usually send only PDFs or WhatsApp messages with no proper office address or website. Once they get payment, they disappear.
Why this matters: A verified online presence shows the company is transparent and accountable.
At Aimah Tours, you can verify everything on our website, Google, and social media, real photos, videos, and reviews from real pilgrims.
Once you receive your flight ticket, check the PNR directly on the airline’s official website or call the airline to confirm it.
Never rely on screenshots or “draft tickets” shared on WhatsApp.
Some fake agents issue dummy tickets to cheat customers, and you realise it only at the airport.
Always confirm your booking status yourself.
Why this matters: Many frauds happen with fake or dummy flight tickets.
All Aimah Tours tickets are genuine and traceable you can verify your PNR anytime on the airline’s official site.
When someone says “5 minutes from Masjid,” always ask which Masjid.
Some dishonest agents use this trick — they’ll say “5 minutes from Masjid” but it turns out to be a small local mosque, not Masjid al-Haram or Masjid an-Nabawi.
Only trust agencies that clearly mention hotel names like Swissotel Makkah or Taiba Front Madinah.
Also, make sure the hotels are authorised for Umrah pilgrims — otherwise, the Saudi Ministry may raid the property and ask you to vacate even at midnight.
Why this matters: “5 minutes from Masjid” can mean anything even a local street mosque in Azizia.
Aimah Tours always shares exact hotel names, images, and walking distances so you know exactly where you’ll stay.
Room type affects your comfort and pricing.
Know the difference:
Cheap agents sometimes put 8–10 people in one room to save costs.
Always ask for room details in writing, including bed count and hotel category.
Why this matters: Room type decides your comfort and total package cost.
Aimah Tours clearly mentions room sharing (Twin, Triple, Quad, or Quint) in writing, so there are no hidden surprises.
Get a written confirmation or invoice clearly listing everything included — visa, flights, meals, laundry, ziyarats, transport, guide, Zamzam, etc.
Even small things matter — laundry and meals alone can cost thousands if not included.
Ask about meal timings, menu type (buffet, fixed, or packed), and transport mode (bus or private car) so you don’t face surprises later.
Check Google reviews and YouTube videos from the company’s real customers.
If you see familiar faces or testimonials, ask to speak to them directly.
A genuine company won’t hesitate to connect you with past pilgrims.
Hearing their real experiences will help you understand the company’s service better than any brochure.
Always ask where your Umrah visa will be issued from — a direct Saudi-approved channel or through a sub-agent.
Sometimes, fake agents make a PDF of a false Umrah visa, and you could face detention at immigration.
Ask if they have a WhatsApp group or team support during your travel.
If something goes wrong in Saudi Arabia, will someone actually answer your call?
A genuine operator will always have a support group and a team ready to help you in real time.
A professional Umrah company never hides details.
They show flight numbers, hotel photos, and official documents openly.
If someone says, “Don’t worry, everything will be arranged later,” walk away immediately.
Transparency is the foundation of trust — and your Umrah journey should begin with that.
Your Umrah is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don’t let a careless booking or fake promise ruin it.
Always book through a certified, transparent, and accountable Umrah operator.
