Stewards of Allah's guests
WHO WE ARE
We treat everyone who travels with us as a guest of Allah, and looking after them as our responsibility. Since 2024, that has meant more than 500 pilgrims to Makkah and Madinah, and in 2026, our first group for Hajj.
Most journeys begin with a call or a WhatsApp message. Tell us the month you have in mind and who is coming, and we'll go through each departure and what it costs until you can see exactly what you're paying for. Pay in one go or in instalments; either way, you get a receipt every time.
Nobody should arrive at the Haram unsure of what to do. Before every Umrah, our sheikhs hold darasas: lessons on the rites, in person, where no question is too basic. Then they travel with you, while the rest of the team takes care of the flights, the hotels and the road between the two cities.

Sheikh Hamzah Saidi and our guidance team
WHO GUIDES YOU
Sheikh Hamzah Saidi leads Al-Hilal Travels and teaches on our journeys.
Pilgrims who have travelled with him often mention the teaching. One wrote in a Google review: “His Tafseer sessions, dua circles, and constant support made our pilgrimage even more meaningful.” (Habibah Lursh, August 2025)
Other Ugandan sheikhs and mutawwifs travel with our groups, some of whom live and study in Saudi Arabia.
