Reviews of Hijaz Travel Ltd

M. A.

Alhamdolilah Allah made possible for me and wife to perform Umrah thanks to Hijaz Travel last year in October. For someone who is from North Africa that speaks only Arabic and English my experience was excellent 10/10. Special thanks to Shabbir, Tofayl, Akheel, and the other Bengali brother who went above and beyond Masha’Allah. Going definitely with them again for either another umrah or Haj Insha’Allah. highly recommend. I was worried that because I don’t speak neither Urdu or Bengali that I might find it difficult to coupe with them but Alhamdolilah all went well and here is my experience: Started the process and once I provided them all the documents I was informed on every step needed or actioned by them. Very professionals Masha’Allah. Once dates were confirmed, a WhatsApp group was formed to keep those going up to date on each step. This was very useful as we kept using WhatsApp throughout the journey even after we arrived back to the UK. We had a plan every day and the leaders made sure their group was informed and kept up to date. Now there are few things I want to highlight to Hijaz Travel for the sake of improvement for the future Insha’Allah: 1- it would be better if in Mekka before starting the umrah, for everyone to have the same colour in the form of a bag or something so that the group wouldn’t separate or get lost and follow the leader/group. Some of the brothers like Akheel ( having orange bag ) and another brother ( sorry I forgot your name) who handed couple of green bags helped a lot when doing the Tawaaf as it was easy to identify everyone from the group. 2- when doing Tawaaf please bear with the sisters brothers and don’t rush. Some of the brother/leaders did stay behind to help the sisters which was very much appreciate it. 3- when doing the visits there was both Bengali and English translation but Bengali translation was more favourable. 4- because I was the only native Arabic speaking person in the group, I was approached few times by the hotel staffs both in Makkah and Madenah who raised few things that it bothered them. These are as follows: - when checking in/out please stay in group and don’t block the entrance. - when the bus arrive to pick the group, leaders should identify which bus it is for which group first before telling everyone busses are here! This caused issue as some of the group and staff had to put the heavy suitcases in the first bus, then they were told to remove it all and put it in the second bus. - shouting, arguing and fighting specially in Madinah. people in Madinah are very friendly and they are soft spoken. The hotel manager told me personally “ this is not a Wednesday market, people should not speak that loudly and shout over little things” 5- this one is for the individual/group who are going for the umrah, yes I’m talking about you who are reading this review, please do not do the following when in Saudi: - when heading for visits ( Zeyarah), Makkah or Madinah the bus will make short/medium stops to rest or view the visit (e.g. Uhud mountain) the leaders will make it very clear how much time you are allowed to take e.g. 15/30 minutes, you will find people selling all sort of things and you will be tempted to buy few things for your family and friends which you are allowed to BUT do not make everyone waits for you! Just be reasonable. - you are there for a specific purpose to perform umrah/haj. Be prepared to be out of your comfort zone as you might be tired or sleepy and must push forward, please try to make all your prayers at the masjid on time and don’t miss any prayers and du’ua when possible. - buying gifts for family and friends are often cheaper around those visits places that you will attend so have a little bit of patience. - bring bottle of waters with you, backpack and some sunglasses You will thank me later - if you need to wash/dry clean your clothes there are plenty of places in both site who would do that for fair price Ask the hotel or you might see them outside your hotel giving cards. That is all from my end. Thank you regards Abdullahi

Thank you to Hijaz Travel for arranging the most amazing Umrah trip! It’s the first time I’ve booked with this company, and they met all my expectations. Hijaz Travel organised our visa applications, flights and hotels, and all the transfers in Saudi. I found their customer service on point and their travel agents reliable and professional. Brother Akeel led our group, and his professionalism, friendly and calm demeanor made the whole trip even better. If my family and I had any questions or needed assistance, Akeel was always available and easy to reach. He guided us while we performed Umrah, explained the use of the Tawakalna and Eatmarna app, and he provided the group with a guided tour of all the historical sites in Mecca and Medina. I’m very pleased with the service provided by Hijaz Travel, and I look forward to arranging another Hajj / Umrah trip with them, InshaAllah. - Sahira

I recently completed my Umrah with Hijaz Travel under the leadership of Akeel Najib. I can honestly say the experience has been nothing less than 5 star. The trip was very well organised and we were encouraged to ask questions regarding the trip whether this was concerning logistics or visiting the Holy sites both in Makkah and Madinah. I would personally like to thank Akeel for his patience and holding regular Q&A sessions with the group. I would highly recommend Hijaz travel if you are planning to go on Umrah - they have the right personnel and operational infrastructure to provide an excellent Umrah experience.

S. M.

This was not the first time I and my family had travelled to Umrah however it was the first time with Hijaz Travel. We had a great time thanks to our leader brother Aqeei who kept us informed at every step of our journey, his energy and uplifting nature and calmness was amazing and he kept us connected throughout all the processes. l Loved the company loved the smooth running of ziyarahs as well as the provision of flexibility for those of us who needed it. Thank you Hijaz travels for such fab memories. I would like to see just one thing different for next time, that our return journey is from Madina Airport. I look forward to travelling with you guys again Insha Allah. I felt I wanted to write this review because I'm well impressed with Hijaz Travels . Much appreciated!!

This was my first time for Umrah so wasn't too sure about the booking process etc. I googled umrah packages and found Hijaz travel. Luckily they were based in my home town of Birmingham. So I popped into there office. I spoke to Tofayel saab. He answered all my questions. He came across as a genuine honest man so decided to book my umrah packages. After making the booking he kept me updated regarding my booking Visa etc. So went to Umrah with a group which was lead by the group leader imam Badar Ul Haque another sincere humble person. He was a great guide and support for the group especially for someone like me who went for the first time. I am grateful to whole of the hijaz travel team. I dont usually do reviews but I felt they deserved it. Shahid Masood.

Highly recommend Hijaz Travel. We have just returned from Umrah Alhamdulilla and the experience considering we are just coming out of Covid, was first class! We mention to Tufayel Sasa that it was our belated honeymoon and he ensured me and my wife had the best time in both Medina and Makkah. He didn’t travel with us but his representative Akeel Bhai did who continuously made sure he was on hand to give us the best service/tour. We were able to do Ziyarah in both Medina and Makkah. Everything was well explained thoroughly in sufficient time. Our Suites in both locations were first class. Added touches of flowers and room decorations for my wife on arrival and a platter breakfast in our room. Movenpick in Medina and Fairmont in Makkah. 10 out of 10 all round. Inshallah looking forward to travelling again with Hijaz.

Our experience with Hijaz Travels Ltd was positive as the whole process went smoothly from start to finish Alhamdulillah. Because of the pandemic, we unfortunately did not have the chance to attend Hajj and therefore required a refund. Everyone at Hijaz Travels was very professional and ensured that the refund process was hassle free. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is wanting to perform Hajj or Umrah as they will cater to your needs and ensure that inshaAllah it is a stress free trip.

K. A.

I booked my Hajj package in 2020 with Hijaz Travel, during booking received excellent customer service and found them very helpful in answering many of my questions. However, circumstances changed due to Covid and Hajj travel was cancelled that year. I got my full deposit refunded within days of the cancellation and the whole process of refund was very smooth. I will consider them for future inshaAllah.

K. J.

This is the first time I have travelled alone to perform my umrah with the group. I highly recommend this travel agents. All the staff are very professional and honest. I was completely unaware of the process of the umrah trip due to covid restrictions. They answered all of my questions, guided me and supported me through out my umrah trip until I returned back home safely, Alhumdulillah.

A. K.

Hijaz Travel Ltd have provided us a wonderful service for us during these uncertain times. We booked our Hajj trip with them last year, due to the tremendous package they were offering. The package we had selected was at a reasonable price and gave plenty of time in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented situation with COVID-19 the trip did not occur. Nevertheless, Hijaz Travel Ltd promptly and efficiently refunded us the money we had given them. We booked again with them this year due to their superb customer service that we had experienced from them. Yet again the journey did not go ahead as planned and once again they dealt with the situation with the upmost professionalism. Foysol Ahmed kept us well informed with the situation as it occurred. Constantly keeping us updated with the latest news regarding the decisions that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia made regarding Hajj. Inshallah we will be booking again with them next.

Y. A.

Assalamu Alaikum With the best of health and in safety peace be with you, 100% highly recommend them with their good customer service offering the best Hajj/Umrah choice packages, facilitating the believer’s best blessed journey experience. This will be my third Umrah travel booking from Hijaz Travel Ltd, [My motto is: If it works do not change anything year after year]. Alhamdulillah! I performed Umrah successfully and safely with the help and guidance from Allah, from the years 2018, 2019 and 2021. May Allah allow us, all believers to visit His house Mecca and Medina with the intention of performing Hajj/Umrah, “May Allah accept from me Umrah performed” May Allah reward Hijaz Travel Ltd with plenty of patience.for helping me to perform my spiritual duty” May Allah grant us all His blessings peace and safety and good health Many more Hajj/Umrah to come Insha’Allah

K. I.

Alhamdulillah, my dealings with Hijaz travels was a remarkable experience of a personal yet professional touch. I had booked my Hajj package with them where all of the details were very clearly articulated. Any person who does not have idea about going to Makkah and Madinah may not know how important it is to find the right hotel there. Hijaz travels has chosen the place that I would prefer to stay. In Shaa Allah I will always book with them.

M. h. K.

Me and my wife just come back from Umrah hajj with Hijaj travels. Tofayel Bhai was so professional. They give us fantastic service.After I come back to Uk I booked for my main Hajj with them.I recommend all of my friends and family to Hijaj travels.

R. K.

Alhumdulillah the service we received was amazing and can not fault them for any thing. We experienced our umrah journey with these brothers and then decided we wanted to experience Hajj with them. We booked our Hajj tickets with these brothers. Unfortunately due to the pandemic Hajj was cancelled. We as a family believed and had full faith that our deposit was in safe hands with these brothers. They always kept us updated and reassued us that they will look after us and keep us informed, which they did. They contacted us to explaine and guide us how to get a refund on our deposit. The transaction went very smoothly Alhumdulillah. Once our money was refunded in our account. We received a phone call to confirm that the refund has been paid. We gave them our full trust from day one and Alhumdulillah they kept their word. Jazakallah for all your support.

H. C.

I booked my umrah package through Hijaz during COVID April 2020, they were responsive and made refund promptly as trip was cancelled due to restrictions.

S. B.

Salaam, I have used this company several times now for Umrah and Hajj packages. Last year I booked 8 tickets for Umrah with Hijaz and the pandemic struck which resulted in my Umrah being cancelled. Alhamdulilah Uncle Tufail arranged for a full refund of over £9000 which I received within 6 weeks. This company is highly recommended and trustworthy. Jazaak Allah Kayes

I. M.

Service was professional and updates were given on time. Once Hajj was cancelled I was informed promptly and offered a refund of my deposit. the refund was then processed quickly. I would use this agency again in any future travel

a. s.

Unable to go for Haj 2020. My deposit was refunded fully without any hassle. Honest and very reliable. IA will book again for next Haj hoping no further restrictions in 2022.

B. T.

Salaam this is Ahmed Ali. My first time at Saudi was phenomenal due to hijaz’s amazing service. The food was great and the staff were very helpful to me and my family. Just wanted to say a special thanks to Mr Tufayel Bai and Mr Subbir Bai as they were with me everyday. However it would be better if there were more Bengali speeches as the elder people can’t fully understand English. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!

M. Z.

My wife and I completed hajj this year with Hijaz Travel. I have done hajj before with other tour operators (it was my wife’s first time) and I can say my wife and I were impressed with Hijaz Travel. Their service was outstanding and great value for money. Our contacts were brothers Sunat, Maqsood and Tofayul who were helpful and very approachable. Brother Sunat called us shortly after our return to UK to see how we were doing - a genuinely, thoughtful gesture from a true gentleman and it reflected the care shown by their team. Hijaz Travel were organised and professional throughout, their hotels were around 5 minutes walk from both mosques, non-shifting packages (essential!) and they provided 2-3 meals daily (eating out can be a nightmare during busy meal times). Al Shohada hotel in Makkah is an old 5* hotel just behind the Clock Tower. It is nice, clean and spacious with helpful staff and big breakfast and dinner buffets! Zam Zam Pullman in Medina is a beautiful modern 5* hotel located at the front of Masjid Nabawi. It takes barely 5 minutes to get the entrance of our Prophets SAW tomb which was a huge bonus. Mina is unique - don’t expect luxuries but then again it’s a humbling experience and what hajj is about. Expect packed tents with air coolers. Majority tour operators occupy similar tents. Some operators may offer ‘VIP tents’ with A/C but personally I find them too cold and give rise to sore throat and other health issues. Well done to the team at Hijaz Travel. May Allah SWT reward you immensely. No doubt I will recommend Hijaz Travel to my family and friends. Tip: On 10th of Dhul Hijjah I recommend getting a taxi from Makkah to Mina. It’s quicker and cost around 200 riyals (shared between 4 it’s about £10pp). Make sure they drop you off at the Slaughter House (Moassem) which is the closest point to the European tents - do not accept ‘Mina’ because they’ll drop you on the opposite side of Mina (near Jamarat) and it’s another 1hour walk from there!

Booked Hajj early 2020, pandemic hit and hajj was cancelled. They offered me full refund or a voucher with option for full refund. Wanted to go hajj 2021 so went with voucher. Hajj 2021 cancelled. They got in touch with me to give me full refund. Assured me I will be on top of the list for next year ia. Good packages for all people. Ruhul Amin

Excellent Service and High Integrity We booked our Hajj with Hijaz this year based on high recommendations from close friends and relatives who had booked with them previously. Alhamdulillah, we have to say we were not disappointed. Hijaz sincerely cared and took pride in the services they offered and did their utmost at all times to ensure we were all looked after and performed our Hajj to the best of our abilities. They were flexible and often went out of their way to cater for all needs. May Allah SWT reward them for all their endeavours in helping and ensuring so many people over the last 15 years or so managed to perform their Hajj safely and fruitfully. In summary, I highly recommend Hijaz Travel Ltd to all my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters due to their excellent service and the fact they operate with so much integrity, it’s inspiring and awesome, MashaAllah.

S. K.

Due to covid last year, we were not able to go to Hajj. Hijaaz advised what our options were. We decided to take back our deposit and couldn't believe how quickly the money was back in our account. It literally took then a few days, very pleased with the business and will be using them in the future.

m. r.

First of all, I don’t post many reviews in my private and professional life, but I’m compelled to do so in this case, I need 10 stars. Hijaz travel exceeded all our expectations in every aspects of our Hajj tour. The professionalism of staff both from UK and Saudi were outstanding. Customer service is not a department it’s attitude, I was so overwhelmed with attitude and friendliness of the hotel staff in Saudi they were absolutely outstanding, always went out of their way to help the visitors in a such stressful and testing time.

A. W.

Me and my mum travelled to Saudi Arabia with Hijaz travels to complete our Hajj. Hijaz travels catered for us and gave special attention to each and every Hajji. I was really proud of them, things which they promised they delivered and I hope they are able to provide this level of service going forward. I will be recommending them to family and friends

M. S.

Alhamdulillah, we have performed our hajj this year through Hijaz Hajj package 2019. Hijaz travel service were excellent from the booking to completion of the Hajj. They helped us each and every opportunity we had requested. They kept a steady presence in the hotel lobby so someone was on hand to help. They had very good intention to run the whole process in a smooth and orderly manner, however this did not always come to fruition, due to situations beyond their control or instructions not being followed by the Hajji's. The Hilton accommodation was second to none. However at Zamzam Pullman there were issues with the restaurant not coping with the volume of people We especially enjoyed the Ziyarath talks by Bodrul Bhai, we just wish we didn't have the sound of the coach behind us so we could hear every word. It was an honour to have the seminars hosted by Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan. it was extremely beneficial to help understand our hajj actions.Thank you Tofayel Bhai and all the Hijaz staff, it was a wonderful experience to visit House of Allah and performed all the rituals of Hajj and with out your service we wouldn't be able to do it as well.. Highly recommend them.

f. k.

Excellent customer service, received confirmation paper for quarantine hotel booking, air ticket and passenger locator form on time. They also help me to amend my hotel quarantine booking, very approachable. overall great experience.

M. H.

This was our first time doing both Hajj and Umrah and alhamdulillah it has been an amazing journey. Everyone at Hijaz worked so hard to make sure that everything went smoothly and so we were able to truly get the most out of our Hajj trip. The seminars were extremely helpful and well delivered, we would like to thank Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan for sharing his knowledge with us, answering the many questions that were asked and helping us to understand the true meaning of this journey. Brothers Maqsood, Tofayel and Selim did a wonderful job at organising the transfers and hotel arrangements, they were very patient and accommodating to our individual needs. Also, the Hijaz staff based in Saudi were brilliant and helped us out a lot. Overall, Hijaz definitely went beyond our expectations and we are eternally grateful to them for their hard work and dedication. May Allah SWT insha’Allah reward them all for their amazing effort. We look forward to travelling with Hijaz again insha’Allah!

M. A.

Alhumdulilah my family and I have just returned from Hajj. We made a last minute booking with Hijaz travels as our initial operator did not full fill any of the pre Hajj promises. My first contact with the organisation was via Sidi Maqsood, who patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. Since that conversation, Hijaz travels catered for our needs above and beyond what we could have ever wished for. We are based in Scotland, but Hijaz travels adjusted the flights to suit us, posted out all the essential books/tags/documents and created an online feed for the seminar as we were unable to travel out for them. I am sure there are many groups, with all the bells and whistles to appear professional and organised, but Hijaz travels have proven their service through complete sincerity. And at times, my family and I felt we were the only hajjis they had, as their attention to each hajji was that personal! I have yet to meet a team of people who are willing to self sacrifice for the sake of Allah the way these men did for our group, and for that, my family and I will remain indebted. I cannot recommend Hijaz travels enough for your Hajj choice. May Allah reward your team immensely and bless you with the reward of all the Hajjis! We look forward to travelling with you all soon again Insha’Allah.

T. U.

Given how absolutely amazing Hijaz Travel Ltd were during our Hajj trip this year I feel I have to post a review for all to see. No words can truly demonstrate their knowledge , experience, dedication and superb organisational skills. They looked after our every need and would recommend them!

A. I.

went on a 5* 3 week Hajj package with Hijaz Travel and here is my experience Hijaz travel offered an all inclusive non shifting package and they were spot on to their word. We arrived at Jeddah Airport and got through customs and immigration within 45 minutes which was impressive as from my previouse experience and feed back from others this process takes about 6 hours but we were in our hotel within 4 hours of landing. This gave us time to freshen up and perform our Umra. There were regular seminars throughout our journey and step by step guidance provided by Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan who was available for advice and guidance. The accomadation Al Shahoda was 5 minutes away from Haram situated directly behind the clock tower very nice hotel. Catering breakfast and dinner was included in the package but Hijaz travel provided complimentary lunch throughout our journey. The food was of the highest standard and I must say I have not seen as many fish dishes as I seen on this tour along with other continental dishes. The staff were very friendly and approachable and I have made few new friends having spent time with them whilst they were assisting us. All transfers and transport was sorted out by the Hijaz team and organised in a very professional way. The team even managed to get transport on transfers where on the package is was not included which was a bonus as the other option was a long walk back to Mina which would have taken over an hour. During our stay in Makkah Hijaz travel staff had done so much to make the journey enjoyable and comfortable as possible. When we went to Madina our accomadation was again no more than minutes walk directly in front of the Masjid with excellent hotel accomadation at the Pulman Zam Zam. Overall I would recommend Hijaz Travel as they have provided a service which they offered on paper and have exceeded that. Well done to all involved May Allah reward your team. —Atlas Iqbal

N. I.

We went on Hajj as a family this year. I was very nervous not knowing what to expect. We were put at ease even before we left with a seminar and all throughout the journey we had more seminars and guidance. The sheikh’s seminars were very informative and brother Maqsood was always available to answer any queries we had. The team professionally handled every situation and their meticculous attention to detail was commendable. I would like to thank everybody at Hijaz for the smooth running of all the activities and for helping to make our Hajj a memorable one.

A. S.

Unfortunately didnt get the opportunity to go for the Hajj this year and last year but whatever interaction I have had with Hijaaz travels was just remarkable and excellent, InshAllah will book it again next year

My husband and I embarked on our trip of a lifetime with Hijaz Travels's 5 star package, we have just returned and alhamdulillah the company exceeded our expectations. Logistically managing so many hajjis seems an ordeal, but you managed to transfer and transport us efficiently and comfortably as required, and we were kept informed at all times. Sheikh Mahmudul Hassan was fantastic in his knowledge and delivery, may Allah swt reward him for all his efforts. A few constructive comments, the food at both hotels was exceptional throughout, but repetitive. Also, the ziyarats were incredibly brief and sometimes not worth the time taken on the journey. Either spend more time or do not do the tour altogether, drive by ziyarats are not what we expect. Brother Maqsood has been responding to my constant questions since January 2018, and continued to be equally helpful throughout the journey. I am thankful to you all for enabling my husband and i to complete our fifth pillar, i pray Allah accepts our hajj and rewards you all for your endeavours. I have already recommended Hijaz Travel to friends and family for their Umrah and Hajj needs. Finally, i would recommend a group picture to be taken of your hajjis at the start and end of their journey, i would have liked to have had that looking back in years to come. May Allah swt bless you with more.

M. B.

I wanted to go hajj and had paid last year and they were quick to repay the amount when I couldn’t go due to Covid. Professional staff to deal with and very good service provided. I hope to use them again in the near future.

N. H.

Excellent service Alhamdulillah, I’m very glad to complete my hajj with Hijaz Travel. They were very supportive nd the service was phenomenal. It really made my hajj journey a breeze. The people are amazing. The whole experience was very smooth and I had no problems. I definitely recommend Hijaz Travel and will definitely be using them again inshallah. JazakAllah for the best service ever.

E. C.

I travelled for Hajj with these guys in August 2017 and I must say, if there’s anyone who really goes above and beyond for their Hajji’s, it’s Hijaz Travel. Brilliant service throughout my trip and they even took feedback well. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an A*** all round service. Whatever they promise is exactly what they deliver, if not more.

S. I.

Firstly, I would like to thank Allah SWT for giving me the opportunity to perform this blessed pilgrimage, it was truly an experience I will never forget Insha Allah. Having booked my Hajj 2016 trip with Hijaz Travel Ltd, I was very pleased with both the package provisions and the services provided by the team. By the grace of Allah SWT everything went very well. We stayed at the Al-Shohada hotel throughout our stay in Makkah, Al Hijaz provide a non-shifting package which is very convenient. The hotel is a few minutes walking distance from the haram. Al Hijaz provided seminars in the days leading up to Hajj with useful information on the itinerary ask well as being able to answer questions anyone may have with regards the Hajj rites. During the main hajj days, Al Hijaz provided good transportation throughout, from Makkah to Mina, to Arafat, and onto Muzdalifah. As we were a large group there were several team leaders on hand to guide us . I would definitely use Al Hijaz again. May Allah reward them for their efforts. WS

Hajj was cancelled due to pandemic. Hijaz Travel informed us of the news and refunded our deposit very quickly.

A. A. A.

BEST GROUP EVER This is the best group ever. We recently came back from Hajj with my mum dad and sister. I am 12 years old. The Hijaz group organisers always ensured we were well cared for, and remained happy throughout our journey. May Allah (SWT) reward them especially Tufayel Sasa. Both the hotels in Makkah and Madinah were well thought out and comfortable stays, Alhamdullilah. We learnt so much from the seminars with the Sheikh which made us constantly think, reflect and understand what the spiritual journey of hajj is really about. Hajj is a once in a lifetime opportunity so why not go with the best, in terms of friendly staff, suitable accommodations and a deeply memorable experience. Abu-Ayub Ansari –

I. A.

Hats off to Hijaz Travel for ensuring my Journey of a lifetime was the besr ever . Their staff were always at hand if we needed anything . I enjoyed the added bonus of the Ziyarath excursions to some great historical sites and the seminars were informative and beneficial . Exceptional service from start to finish , would highly reccomend them .

M. M. M.

Alhamdulillah and first of all very grateful to Allah that given towfiq me and my wife perform Hajj this year via Hijaz travel Ltd. Provided great and accurate service as they promised. Step to step guide by renown Sheikh was amazingly helpful and the continuous support from the agency directors and staff praiseworthy. I am very satisfied on Hijaz travels and may Allah give them towfiq to provide great and satisfactory service to pilgrims every year.

R. k.

We would like to show our great appreciation to Hijaz Travel for all their help, which, with the grace of Allah, enabled us this year to complete our Hajj with an extraordinary sense of fulfilment. We found them to be very professional, transparent and totally dedicated to providing support at all stages. The services they provided not only addressed collective needs but also went further to meet individual needs. We have heard from other Hajjis and we ourselves have experienced many examples of that, often going above and beyond their call of duty. One example is that we needed to break away from the group to return to London early – the day after the Hajj finished. They, in particular brother Tofayel and brother Maqsood dealt with it very non-judgemental, professionally and in a sympathetic way. They not only went out of their way to get an earlier flight for us and arranged for our transport and passport collection at the airport, but remained constantly in contact until we boarded the plane well after midnight. We strongly believe that most other Hajj operators would not have the ability or inclination to assist individuals that way. We pray to Allah to highly reward everyone connected with Hijaz Travel for their good deeds in working tirelessly. Helping us and others so actively in fulfilling our religious obligations. We further pray that Allah to give them toufiq to serve Hajj pilgrims for many years to come.

Hajj 2018 - Outstanding Service all round 5th September 2018 Accommodation – Excellent as promised.. All shared 2/3/4 single beds in a room depending on package…. but hotel quality very good. Food – Again Exceptional and caters for people of different taste and appetite.. Fish, Meat, Chicken, Veg and Dal all part of the diet. We are all grateful for their complementary breakfast throughout the whole time of our stay… even though it was not included in the package… that was an extremely kind and generous gesture from Hijaz. May Allah reward them for this effort. Transport – Between Airport, Mina, Muzdalifa, Arafat, Ziyarah, Makka to Madina and lastly to airport on the way back… A lot of transport and transfer to manage… Again exceptional good quality fully air-conditioned buses, comfortable journey in all cases.. All the Hajis were well-informed and managed during these transfers. Guide – Our spiritual guide was Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan who is a very knowlegable and learned scholar. He is very approachable, available and willing to help with all queries. As a day to day aid, we had all the Hijaz staff who were incredibly helpful, worked tirelessly to ensure we had a smooth and untroubled time there. They were available 24 hours. Above all, the whole group of Hajis and Hijaz staff were guided and supervised by the very competent management team of Tofael Bhai, Sabbir Bhai, brother Maqsood and Gul Bhai… May Allah reward them for their sincere service to the Hajis… I shall recommend Hijaz Travel to all for their exceptional service and honoring their promises… Jamil Ahmed Choudhury and the group —Jamil Ahmed Choudhury

My husband and I went to Hajj 2018 this year alhamdullilah Hijaaz Travels provided excellent service throughout our journey. Shaikh Mahmudul Hassan was with our group all the way teaching us how to perform all aspects of hajj. I am very pleased to perform hajj with the best group. May Allah allow them to continue their excellent service every year.

F. U. A.

Went Hajj 2017 with Hijaz. I was pleased to have the service they have provided. Everything was organized and with high standard. Hotels in Makkah and Madinah was 5 star rated. Room service was excellent. Best thing about this package was non shifting. I strongly recommend everyone who go Hajj from UK always take non- shifting package. Hijaz provide best non- shofting package with competitive price. were on half board and food was really good. Transportation for Mina, Mujdalifa and Arafat was superb with modern AC coach. Guide has provided us with Jiarah services for sightings which was pleasant. Staff were always helpful and with adequate knowledge. I recommend everyone to go Hajj with Hijaz.

Booked hajj travel from them in 2017. An excellent service was provided throughout, with comprehensive guidence at every step. Hijaz fed lunch to 310 people on 10 hijr at a five star hotel, and Hired a bus even after midnight to aid our Travel to Minah. Both of these things were not on the itinerary and given by Hijaz without being asked by us nor were we charged anything extra. Will definitely use them for all of my travel needs in the future, inshah Allah.

Alhamdullilah… I chose to go Hajj with Hijaz Travel based on a recommendation from a friend who went on Hajj (him and his wife) with the group last year (2017). Straight away my friend put my mind at ease by saying “hand on heart brother, you will have no problems or issues AT ALL with Hijaz!”. I chose the non-shifting 19 day 5* package and was I impressed. From the moment we landed at Jeddah, everything went so smoothly and accordingly to plan and in some cases better than what was expected. The Hijaz Team that accompanied us from the UK and the Team they had in place in Saudi were totally professional and handled everything. My special thanks to Maqsood Bhai and Thufayel Bhai who went above and beyond in making sure everyone knew what they were doing at each step of the way by answering lots of questions. Both hotels were fantastic and within 5 minutes walk into the Haram Shareef / Masjid Nabawi, food was too much to choose from with buffets for breakfast and dinner and lunch was also provided complimentary which was a nice bonus. My only recommendation would be to allow sufficient time for the Ziyaraat of both places and maybe include a visit to Jannat al Maula (Makkah) in the package? Often it felt a bit rushed and so this could be looked into for all future trips. All in all, this was a wonderful spiritual journey for me that Allah (SWT) allowed me to complete through Hijaz. May Allah (SWT) Bless everyone involved in Hijaz for all the efforts and sacrifice, Ameen. This is not the last they will hear from me! Insha Allah I am already thinking of going Umrah with family soon and will obviously choose Hijaz.

Hajj 2017 We had an amazing experience at Hajj this year and thank Allah SWT for giving us the opportunity to perform the Hajj. Also we would highly recommend hijaz travels for their excellent service and patience. Thanks to hijaz travel and the team, may Allah SWT reward them for the hard work. Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan was amazing throughout the journey and answered any questions that anyone had, the seminar’s was useful and very informative. Hotels were very good, specially the zamzam Pullman in Madina. It’s been an experience of a lifetime for me and my wife. May Allah SWT give taufiq to all the Muslim ummah to perform Hajj and grants us Hajj e mabroor. Ameen M Arafath Ahmed –

I booked my Umrah package for a group of 16 through Hijaz. The team, specifically brother Msqsood, have been professional, on point and available to address queries whenever raised. The package was delivered as promised. I would not hesitate in booking through Hijaz again and have already recommended to family/friends.

Dear Hijaz, Thank you for making my Hajj trip to my Allah’s house wonderful. Thank you for organising this beautifully easing every step of the way. Thank you for organising it in such a way, that I was hassle free and enjoyed my prayer and dua. You have looked after us really well – all the time Hijaz staff was present to help and guide us. I’ve already recommended my friends about your team. InshAllah, may Allah allow me to visit his house again, inshAllah I book through Hijaz. Mrs Seema Khurram

Hajj 2019 Excellent Pakage. They did more than what they have promised. You can expect some disorganisation when more than 4 million people are doing same thing at same time but it can’t be mistake on part of organiser. I said to Brother Tufayl during Hajj and repeat it again that use WhatsApp or any other technology to communication. If I went back in time, I would choose Hijaz again and again and again, thanks for making this journey so smooth and amazing. As a whole I recommend them and happy to use them again inshAllah. Regards Dr K Barlas

If you have any worries or questions on how to perform haj or umhra they or on hand to answer any questions .. my husband and I were both very impressed.. Well done Hijaz Travels and keep up the good work

Hijaz has refunded my money back ,during this unprecedented time .I'm pleased to say that they are reliable and I would book my next visit to mekka with hijaz if I get the opportunity insha Allah.

Excellent service from start to finish! We were looked after by Sunat Gul who arranged the whole Umrah ziyarat for us. Sunat Gul delivered more than what he promised us. A delightful and very experienced planner he gave us some points on how and what to do during our visit that would save time and money. His contact in Makkah shareef (Salim) was very helpful, he was standing at the reception of hotel to welcome us and guided us throughout. Cant fault them on anything. I have already recomended Hijaz travel to my family n friends and will use them again in future. A big thank you for making our stay so comfortable and conveniant.

Great Service, reliable and friendly staff. I feel the value for money side, is you get what you pay for and I'm very pleased with the way our Hajj journey was managed. May Allah accept all our Hajj! All praise To Allah! Jazak Allah Khair to Tufael bhai and Maqsood Bhai. Will definitely use again and recommend to all friends, family and anyone reading this review.

Awesome! It’s my first Hajj Alhamdulilah with my family there was 7 of us in total. During the days prior to us leaving Some of my family members had already been on hajj and they told me about some of the problems they had faced while on the journey. It’s fair to say I wasn’t looking forward to facing these problems myself… but Alhamdulilah I can say from the moment we got there until we left they were very well organised, it’s obvious they have been doing this for many many years. Some of the best things are; – They all travel with you the whole way! And I mean it, all the guys you see at the branch will be with you throughout the whole journey. – Sheikh Hasan who is amazing will be with the group and provide answers to any questions and about 3-4 lectures are held to boost your imaan and to inform us about what to do each step of the journey. Honestly thank you guys for organising this trip of a lifetime for me and my family
