Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your journey

What's the total cost for the Shaaban Umrah package and what's included?

The Shaaban Umrah package starts at $2,799 per person for quad sharing (4 people per room). This all-inclusive price covers: Turkish Airways roundtrip flights from major U.S. cities, 10 days/9 nights accommodation in 5-star hotels (Millennium Al Aqeeq in Makkah and Hilton Suites in Madinah), complete visa processing with 100% approval guarantee, daily breakfast buffets, all ground transportation in private air-conditioned coaches, experienced Imam and scholar guidance throughout the journey, comprehensive Ziyarat tours of all historical Islamic sites, and 24/7 on-ground support. The only additional costs would be lunch/dinner (optional), personal shopping, and tips (optional). We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with absolutely no hidden fees.

How does your visa assistance work and what's the success rate?

Amerka Travel offers complete end-to-end visa assistance with a 100% approval guarantee. Once you book with us, we provide you with a detailed checklist of required documents (passport copies, photos, vaccination records, etc.). Our dedicated visa team reviews all your documents before submission to ensure everything is perfect. We then submit your application to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah through our authorized channels. Throughout the process, we track your application status and keep you updated. Our team has processed over 15,000 visas with a perfect approval record. In the rare case of any issues, we work directly with authorities to resolve them. The entire visa process typically takes 2-4 weeks, and we handle all the complex paperwork so you don’t have to worry about anything.

What meals are included and can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Daily open buffet breakfast is included at both hotels (Makkah and Madinah). The breakfast spread features a wide variety of international and Middle Eastern cuisine, including eggs, pastries, fruits, cereals, Arabic dishes, fresh juices, and hot beverages. All food is 100% halal certified. Lunch and dinner are not included in the package price, giving you flexibility to explore local restaurants and try authentic Saudi cuisine. However, we can arrange optional meal plans for an additional fee if you prefer all-inclusive dining. We absolutely accommodate dietary restrictions and special requirements – just inform us during booking if you have allergies, need vegetarian/vegan options, or have any medical dietary needs. Both hotels have excellent kitchens that can prepare customized meals. Our team is also happy to recommend restaurants near the hotels that cater to specific dietary preferences.

How close are the hotels to the Haram, and what are the walking conditions?

Our carefully selected hotels are ideally located for maximum convenience. The Millennium Al Aqeeq Hotel in Makkah is just 3 minutes walk (approximately 250-300 meters) from the Haram. You can literally step out of the hotel and reach Masjid al-Haram’s entrance in under 5 minutes at a comfortable pace. The Hilton Suites Jabal Omar in Madinah is similarly positioned just 3 minutes walk from the Prophet’s Mosque. The walking paths are well-paved, air-conditioned covered walkways in many sections, and fully wheelchair accessible. There are elevators, ramps, and escalators making access easy for elderly pilgrims and those with mobility challenges. The short distance means you can easily return to your room between prayers to rest, which is especially valuable during the midday heat. Both locations also have numerous shops, restaurants, and services nearby. For those who prefer, wheelchair services are available upon request at no additional charge.

Can I book a custom room arrangement or travel with a larger group?

Yes, absolutely! We specialize in custom arrangements and welcome groups of all sizes. Whether you’re traveling with extended family, friends from your local masjid, or organizing a community group, we can accommodate your needs. For families, we can arrange connecting rooms or family suites. For larger groups (10+ people), we offer special group discounts and can even arrange exclusive departures on dates that work for your schedule. We can customize everything – from room configurations to special meal arrangements to private Ziyarat tours with your group’s preferred scholars. Many of our clients are community leaders who organize annual Umrah trips with 20-50 pilgrims. We handle all logistics, provide dedicated coordinators, and ensure everyone has a cohesive, spiritually enriching experience. Contact our group travel specialists at +1 (800) 123-4567 to discuss your requirements, and we’ll create a tailored package with special pricing for your group.

Do you provide wheelchair assistance and support for elderly or disabled pilgrims?

Yes, we provide comprehensive support for elderly and disabled pilgrims at no additional charge. We can arrange wheelchairs at airports, hotels, and the holy sites. Both hotels have fully accessible rooms with grab bars, roll-in showers, and other necessary facilities. Our team includes staff trained to assist with mobility challenges. At the Haram in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, there are dedicated wheelchair entrances and spaces close to the Kaaba and Rawdah. We can help coordinate wheelchair services at these locations. During Ziyarat tours, our comfortable coaches are equipped to handle wheelchairs, and we adjust the pace to ensure elderly pilgrims don’t feel rushed. We’ve successfully accommodated pilgrims aged 70-90+ years old, including those with walkers, canes, or full-time wheelchair needs. Just inform us about your specific requirements when booking, and we’ll make all necessary arrangements. Our goal is to ensure every pilgrim, regardless of physical ability, can complete their Umrah with dignity and comfort.

Are the travel dates fixed, or can I travel on different dates?

The dates for the Shaaban Umrah package (January 20-30, 2026) are fixed for this specific group departure. These dates are carefully selected to coincide with the blessed month of Shaaban, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) would increase his fasting and worship. However, we understand that not everyone can travel on these exact dates. If you need different dates, we absolutely can help! Amerka Travel organizes multiple Umrah departures throughout the year. We have packages departing monthly, and we can also create custom itineraries for private individuals or groups on dates of your choosing (minimum 2 people). The pricing and hotel availability may vary based on your selected dates, especially during peak seasons like Ramadan, Dhul Hijjah, or school holidays. Contact our travel consultants to discuss alternative departure dates. We’ll check availability, provide pricing for your preferred dates, and help you choose the best time based on weather, crowd levels, and your personal schedule. Many clients book custom dates for special occasions like wedding anniversaries, retirement, or family reunions.

What kind of support and guidance will I receive during the trip?

You’ll receive comprehensive, multilevel support throughout your entire journey. Spiritually, you’ll be guided by an experienced Imam and Islamic scholar who travels with the group. They’ll teach you the proper way to perform Umrah rituals, lead group prayers, conduct daily educational sessions about Islamic history and spirituality, answer your religious questions, and be available for one-on-one spiritual counseling. Logistically, you’ll have a dedicated tour leader and support team who handle all practical matters – from airport transfers to hotel check-ins to coordinating group movements. They’ll ensure everyone stays together, help with any language barriers, assist with shopping and navigation, and resolve any issues that arise. You’ll have 24/7 access to our team via phone – whether it’s 3 AM and you need help or guidance during the day. Before departure, you’ll receive a detailed pre-trip orientation covering what to pack, cultural norms, safety tips, and what to expect. During the trip, we conduct daily group briefings. We also maintain small group sizes (typically 15-25 pilgrims) to ensure personalized attention for everyone. Many pilgrims tell us they feel like they’re traveling with family, not just a tour company.

What historical sites will we visit during the Ziyarat tours?

Our comprehensive Ziyarat tours cover all significant historical Islamic sites to enrich your spiritual journey. In Makkah, you’ll visit: Cave of Hira (where the Prophet received the first revelation), Jabal Thawr (where the Prophet and Abu Bakr hid during migration), Jannat al-Mu’alla (cemetery where many companions are buried), Masjid Aisha (Miqat for local residents), and Jabal al-Nour. In Madinah, you’ll visit: Masjid Quba (the first mosque in Islam – Prophet said praying here equals one Umrah), Mount Uhud and the graves of martyrs from the Battle of Uhud, Masjid al-Qiblatain (where Qibla changed from Jerusalem to Makkah), the Seven Mosques, Dates market and souqs, and other significant locations. Each tour is led by knowledgeable scholars who explain the historical context, share authentic hadiths related to each site, and answer questions. The tours are paced comfortably with rest breaks and photo opportunities. All transportation is provided in comfortable air-conditioned coaches. These Ziyarat tours transform your Umrah from just rituals into a deep educational and emotional journey through Islamic history.

How do I secure my booking and what's the payment schedule?

Securing your booking is simple and flexible. First, select your preferred room type (quad, triple, or double sharing) and confirm your travel dates with us. To reserve your seat, we require a deposit of $500 per person. This deposit can be paid via credit card, debit card, bank transfer, or check. Once we receive your deposit, your seat is confirmed and we immediately begin your visa processing. The remaining balance is due 60 days before departure. We also offer flexible payment plans – you can split payments into 2-3 installments at no extra charge. For example, many pilgrims pay $500 deposit at booking, 50% of the remaining balance 90 days before departure, and final payment 60 days before departure. We accept all major credit cards, and we can arrange interest-free payment plans for those who need them. The deposit is fully refundable up to 90 days before departure (minus a small processing fee). After that, our cancellation policy applies based on airline and hotel policies. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. To book, simply call us at +1 (800) 123-4567, email info@amerkatravel.com, or fill out the online booking form. Our team will guide you through every step and answer all questions.
