Getting started
Understand the service before you share your plans.
What does KaabaSharif do?
KaabaSharif helps U.S. travelers share their Umrah requirements once and compare available quote options from participating U.S. Umrah agencies. You choose which agency, if any, you want to contact.
KaabaSharif is an independent quote coordination and comparison platform. Your selected agency handles the final contract, payment and travel services. See how KaabaSharif works.
Is requesting and comparing Umrah quotes free?
Yes. Requesting and comparing quote options is FREE for travelers, with no obligation to book. Flights, hotels, visas and other travel services are not free.
How do I request Umrah quotes?
Use Journey Planner to enter your departure city, dates, travelers and the services you need. Review your details before submitting your request. Participating agencies that can serve your trip may prepare options for you to compare.
How many quotes will I receive, and how soon?
There is no guaranteed number of quotes or response time. Available options depend on your travel dates, departure city, requirements and participating agency availability.
Prices & booking
Know what a price includes and who handles your booking.
Is a package’s starting price my final quote?
No. A listed starting price is an advertised amount with its own dates, room occupancy and inclusions. Check whether it is per person, which services it covers and what costs extra. The agency must confirm the price and availability for your exact trip.
How is the Price Estimator different from an agency quote?
The Price Estimator helps you explore an indicative trip budget. It is not a confirmed agency offer or a booking. Agencies set their own quote prices and confirm what is included.
What should I compare before choosing an Umrah quote?
Compare the total price alongside flights and baggage, hotel names and access, room occupancy, Saudi transport, visa assistance, meals, Ziyarat and support. Check deposits, exclusions and cancellation terms in writing.
Does a quote request book my trip? Who do I pay?
A quote request does not book a trip or commit you to pay. You decide whether to continue with an agency after reviewing your options.
Before paying, independently check the agency and review its written quote, contract, payment instructions and final availability. Your selected agency handles the booking and travel services.
Who handles booking changes, cancellations or refunds?
Contact the agency or provider you booked with. Its contract and the terms of the purchased services determine changes, cancellations and refunds. Check these before you pay; KaabaSharif does not operate your trip.
Privacy & trust
Your choice of agency stays yours.
When are my contact details shared with an Umrah agency?
Your direct contact details are not initially shared while quote options are gathered. You review the available options and choose whether to connect with an agency.
Read Agency Standards & Traveler Safeguards and our privacy policy.
Does KaabaSharif certify or choose an agency for me?
No. You make the choice. KaabaSharif reviews the business, contact, service and operating information submitted by prospective participating agencies and may ask for further information.
This review is not a regulatory certification or a guarantee. Independently review the agency, its written quote, contract and payment instructions before booking. Read the participation standards.
Are all agencies shown in Current Packages participating agencies?
No. Current Packages can include public agency listings. A listing does not by itself mean the agency participates in KaabaSharif’s quote process, has been approved by KaabaSharif or is endorsed by us. Confirm the provider and the offer directly.
How are traveler reviews and feedback handled?
Feedback should come from people who actually used the KaabaSharif process. Positive reviews are not required or rewarded, and feedback is not excluded merely because it is critical. You choose whether your feedback may be published and how your name may appear.
Visas & preparation
Use current official services and plan for your own needs.
Where should I check visas, Umrah permits and Rawdah appointments?
Visa eligibility and permit arrangements are separate checks. Use the official services for current rules and your own circumstances. KaabaSharif does not issue visas, decide eligibility or guarantee approval.

Can I request specific hotels, flights, visa help or group arrangements?
Yes. Share the preferences that matter to your trip in Journey Planner. A preference is a request, not a confirmed service. Ask the agency to confirm the exact hotel, flight, transport, visa assistance and group arrangements in writing.
Can I plan Umrah with older parents or accessibility needs?
You can explain practical support needs in Journey Planner. Before booking, ask the agency to confirm the room, hotel access, transport and any assistance it can actually provide. Selecting a preference or viewing a package does not confirm accessibility or assistance.
Where can I find preparation checklists?
Use the packing checklist, visa preparation guide or accessibility guide for the preparation you need. Each guide explains its resource request and current email delivery status.
A checklist request is separate from an agency quote request and does not automatically subscribe you to marketing.
For Umrah agencies
Registration, requirements and traveler contact release.
How can a U.S. Umrah agency participate?
Complete Agency Partnership Registration with your business details, services and preferred way to receive relevant traveler requirements. Review the Agency Participation Standards before applying.
Registration is reviewed. Submitting the form does not automatically approve participation or guarantee traveler requests.
Do agencies receive traveler contact details with every request?
No. Initial traveler requirements are shared without direct contact details. The traveler compares the available options and chooses whether to connect with an agency. Participation does not give unrestricted access to traveler contact details.
Shopping & support
Retailer purchases and help with KaabaSharif.
Does KaabaSharif sell or ship Umrah essentials?
No. KaabaSharif recommends selected Umrah essentials. Purchases happen with the retailer, which controls prices, availability, shipping, returns and refunds. Use the retailer’s order support for a purchase.
