What the darasa covers
Learn the rites you are preparing to perform and the practical details of your journey.
The rites
- The route and the miqat plan for your actual flights and land sequence
- How each rite is performed, with time to ask before you travel
- Where a question needs a scholar rather than an operator
- Rest, assistance and permissions during the rites
- Optional activities — and that declining one costs you nothing
The journey
- Airport check-in, layovers and what happens at transit
- Baggage rules, the Haramain train and luggage transfer
- Money and payment practicalities on the ground
- Hotels, meals and how to reach us each day
- Meeting points — and exactly what to do if you get separated
Before you travel, make sure you know your meeting point, who to contact and how to ask for help. The team can go through these with you.
Guidance from our sheikhs
Our sheikhs teach the rites and provide religious guidance during the journey. Bring your questions about what is unfamiliar to the darasa.
For questions about the booking or travel arrangements, speak to our team. Religious questions are directed to a qualified guide.
Ask about your darasa session
Our in-person Umrah darasas take place before departure.
