I have just started a new job and was told to book off my holidays in advance due to a first come first serve basis with certain time frames. I have booked off 1st of December 2013 to 14th December 2013, with the intention of going on Umrah with my mother within this time.

I have rang up a travel agent and he was saying that there isn't any Umrah during this time.

Can anyone please clarify and give me some tips?

Jazakallah,

Muhammed.

I am In Shaa Allah planning to go for Hajj this year with my wife. I would be grateful for advice from all you knowledgeable brothers and sisters out there. I am looking to book with either Al Muntada, ElKaadi tours, or Travelpack. Has anyone used them last year and advice me about their experiences with any of them. The first two agents are on the saudi embassy Hajj agents list, but not Travelpack. Can someone please advice me urgently about these three agents so that I can come to a decision and book.Me and my wife had a bad experience with Al-Hidaayah back in 2006, when they let us down two weeks before travel, and I do not want a repeat this time. I am disabled and am looking at booking a double occupancy package. Thanking you in advance for your kind assistance.

My first Umrah, I stayed in the White Palace hotel, one minute walk from Dar-ul-Tawheed. It's been knocked down now.
My second Umrah, I stayed at a hotel a few buildings down from Dar-ul-Tawheed just past the SAPTCO bus stop. That's also been knocked down.
My third Umrah, I stayed at the Al Bustan hotel, in a small street behind the one I stayed in second time. That definitely looks like it should have been knocked down.

My point is that I've always stayed within a few mins walk of King Fahad gate, and around Dar-ul-Tawheed.

Now, could someone please tell me where Aziziyah apartments are in relation to the above location? Direction and distance.

Also, a lot of the agents seem to be using these apartments, to the extent that it appears that most of Hajjis this year will be staying there too..!!! Wallahi, how many apartments are there in Aziziyah..??? ]]> Hajj Forum chameleon http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?367376-Aziziyah-apartments http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?367368-Insight-about-the-Rites-of-Hajj-in-Light-of-the-Qur’aan-Sunnah&goto=newpost Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:47:19 GMT Insight about the Rites of Hajj in Light of the Qur’aan, Sunnah, and Reports from the Companions - by ash-Shaikh al-Faadhl - ‘Abdul-Muhsin ibn Hamad al-’Abbaad ...

They have 2 package shifting one, stay in Azizyah 40 mint walk, but I want to avoid Azizyah and going after non shifting package.

The non shifting apartment is 15 to 16 mints distance and when I asked name of place,which is Dar-l-Sultan(there own apartments)He said as its not 4, 5 star hotel so you won t find in on internet but its in Jarwal and very close to Maternity and children hospital, Arabic name MUSTASH-FUL-VALADATH...Sorry about spellings. So is it easily doable? I mean for each prayer?

So in £3000 non shifting, included everything, Qurbani as well,not breakfast, its looking like a very good package to me.
What you guys think?

By the way I called this company as well, and they seems dodgy, lowest price package gone, n the one available is staying in Azizyah. Then pushing strategy to buy now as only 10 seats left. When I said Azizyah far for me, they said we will provide ride by buses. Well, may be they are ok n its only me.:)

My concern is about cancellation cos most operators will not refund your money if you need to cancel your trip altogether. And for medical reason, if something bad was to befall on you out there, the cost of repatriating you home afterwards.

And space is a premium.

What are the chances, or indeed is it common for more people to be billeted into a room than was originally agreed? eg. If you've paid for double occupancy (only 2 guests in a room), and suddenly your agent or the hotel porter bring in one or two more guests.

I have one query that I would like any brother/sister to clear up.
We have a stop over in Amman before arriving at Jeddah. We intend to put on our Ihraam garments in Amman airport as this will be more convenient than on the plane.
However, where can we do this? Are there any changing rooms or facilities that accommodate dressing/changing?
