Which Hajj group?

[mustafa754]

AssalaamuAlaikum.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Hajj travel company. I know that al Hidaayah are one of the best, but unfortunately it appears their only standard Hajj package this year is for 4 weeks (according to their website). I am looking for a standard package of 2 or 3 weeks. If someone knows of a group as good as al Hidaayah, please share your comments.

Also, the following link is a list of the approved Hajj operators by the Saudi Embassy:

If you have had experience with any of these companies, again please share your comments. I notice Sally Tours is listed as an approved agent, but I recall reading very negative feedback about them on one of the threads on this forum.

JazakAllah.

'alaykum asalaam wa rahmatullah..

try White Jewel (http://www.whitejewel.com/hajj1428.php) or Nabil Hajj and Umrah (http://nabil-hajjandumrah.co.uk/index.html) or Tour operators (http://hajjumrahtours.co.uk/tour-operators.htm)

Thanks for that brother.

Unfortunately many operators seem to be focussing on Deluxe and 'Super' Deluxe packages, where the prices are around 4000.

Can anyone give any feedback for White Jewel, Easy Hajj, and Ziyara?
(They are offering standard/2-3wk packages)

I would recommend Amaana Tours just cuz of the bros.... good bunch of lads to make hajj with.

thanks for those suggestions. just another question... some tour groups do not appear to be registered with the Ministry of Hajj as an approved agent. How do these groups get the visa then?

thanks for those suggestions. just another question... some tour groups do not appear to be registered with the Ministry of Hajj as an approved agent. How do these groups get the visa then?It’s likely that they’ll working under other groups, so will receive their visas via the Approved Agent. It’s best however to go directly through an approved agent, who is known to provide a good service... Unfortunately there are far too many bad characters in our communities eager to exploit the hujjaj.

[Abuz Zubair]

how do you know which group is or isn't registered? The whole Hajj process is a scam, bro... (not the actual ibada... but the way it is handled from your respective countries to Makka and Madina)

[abu imaan an-nepalee]

there is a group called prestige who I have heard have given brothers I know a very good service, the reps themselves stay with the Hujjaj and therefore endure the same conditions, they are knowledgable of the issues pertaining to hajj and last I knew of offered a very competative price.

This is from a few years back, don't know the situation now.

Abu Zubair,

Who will you make Hajj with this year?

:rolleyes:

[Abuz Zubair]

[ibnabdullaah]

Its not the child slapper :D

[Abuz Zubair]

alright then, I'm with you all the way captain!

[ibnabdullaah]

Looks like Amaana Tours it is then (www.amaanatours.co.uk) ;)

Assalamu'alaikum,

I'm looking to go to hajj this year inshallah. Looking around the prices seem quite expensive due to the haram extension work.

Apart from the groups mentioned in this thread already (Amaana, White Jewel, Nabil, Tour Operators - which I will be contacting soon;)) could anyone suggest some other good cheap and reliable operators.
