MAKE THE TRIP FIT THE FAMILY
Four details that change the whole journey.
Look past a package title. The flight, room, route and daily rhythm matter more than the words “family friendly.”
Flights that leave room to recover
Review the full itinerary: connections, layovers, arrival time and baggage. Confirm family seating, bassinets and stroller handling directly with the airline.
A room that works for everyone
Get the exact bed setup, child occupancy and meal arrangements in writing. Cribs and connecting rooms need confirmation, not an assumption.
Every transfer accounted for
Check airport pickup, station transfers and the journey between cities. Confirm child seats, passenger capacity and space for your stroller and luggage.
A routine you can adjust
Leave space for naps, meals and a slower day after travel. A full timetable is only useful if your children can manage it.
LESS RUSH. MORE TIME TOGETHER.
Plan the day around their energy.
Before you head out
Check the weather, agree who is responsible for each child and keep parent contact details with them. Choose a clear meeting point and follow staff instructions.
When it gets busy
Keep the plan flexible. Check current entry, stroller and permit instructions through official services before relying on a particular route or arrangement.
When it is time to pause
Return for food, water and rest when needed. Discuss individual travel health, vaccines and medicines with your child’s healthcare professional before departure.
BEFORE THE SUITCASE CLOSES
Five things to get clear, together.
Use this personal checklist to see what still needs attention. Your checkmarks stay on this page and are not sent to an Umrah agency.
A reviewed item is a reminder, not a booking, permit or guarantee.
OFFICIAL SAUDI RESOURCES
Check the rule with the people who set it.
These links leave KaabaSharif for the official provider. Use the current instructions for your family, rather than relying on an old age limit or travel post.
Nusuk
Umrah services and current permit guidance. Check the applicable instructions for children before planning a visit.

Review the official tourist eVisa terms and eligibility for each traveler. The service has terms for adults applying on behalf of minors.

YOUR FAMILY. YOUR STARTING POINT.
Who is making the journey?
Start with your group. Continue into Journey Planner with these answers, or explore published packages using the supported departure and month filters.
A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU GO
Family questions, answered plainly.
Is a group or private trip better with children?
Compare the actual schedule, transport, room setup and flexibility. A private option may allow a different pace, while a group may provide guidance. Neither label guarantees the support your family needs.
Can we rely on a hotel’s star rating?
No. Confirm the exact hotel, walking route, beds, occupancy, cribs, connecting rooms and meals. A star preference does not establish family suitability or a confirmed reservation.
Will a package price cover all of us?
Do not assume it. Published starting prices are often per person with a stated room sharing basis. Request an itemized total for adults, children and infants, including beds, meals, transfers and any supplements.
Will my answers appear in Journey Planner?
Yes. Use Continue to Journey Planner to carry the supported family counts, departure and start date. Other planner answers remain available. Blank optional fields do not erase existing answers, and consent stays separate.
Can I request the checklist without planning a trip?
Yes. The checklist request is separate from Journey Planner and agency quote requests. Delivery is currently paused; your explicit request is saved for later fulfillment. It does not subscribe you to marketing.
