One journey. Two parts.
What does land only Umrah include?
Land only generally excludes international airfare. Everything else depends on the written agency quote.
Arranged separately by you
Your international flights
Choose your airline, points, cabin and stopovers. Useful if you have flights already or are combining Umrah with another country.
Airfare and airline baggage
Getting to your U.S. airport
Flight changes and airline terms
Requested from an Umrah agency
Your Saudi services
Request the stays and local arrangements you need. A service is included only when the agency states it in your quote.
Named hotels and room arrangements
Agreed airport and city transfers
Meals, visits or other agreed support
Compare the whole trip cost. Separate airfare + the Saudi quote + baggage, U.S. airport transport and anything excluded. A smaller land price alone does not prove better value.
Make every connection explicit
The transfer you forget is still part of your journey.
An example, not a booked itinerary. Choose a direction and travel method to see the legs you should ask about.
Example: Jeddah arrival · Makkah first · travel between cities by road
01 · Arrival
Jeddah airport
Airport → first hotel. Confirm pickup and flight details.
02 · First stay
Makkah hotel
Confirm hotel, nights, room, beds and check in timing.
03 · Station connection
Hotel → departure station
A train ticket does not confirm this transfer.
04 · Rail and station pickup
Train → station → hotel
Confirm the train ticket, luggage and arrival station pickup separately.
03 · City connection
Madinah hotel
First hotel → next hotel. Confirm private or shared vehicle and luggage.
04 · Departure
Madinah airport
Final hotel → departure airport. Confirm pickup time and terminal.
Also ask about ziyarat transport. Agree private or shared arrangements, luggage, local support and any extra stops. Your airport and city order may differ from this example.
Usually, it means international airfare is excluded. Agencies may use the term differently. Confirm the written scope before comparing prices. Your separately booked flight, baggage and U.S. airport transport still count toward your total trip cost.
Can I request this before booking my flights?+
Yes. Explain that you will arrange your own airfare and share the dates and airports you are considering. Confirm hotel nights, transfer timing and booking terms with the agency before paying for separate flights.
Can I request specific hotels and rooms?+
Yes. Ask for the hotel name, room type, number of beds, nights in each city, meal plan and realistic walking route. Star ratings or “near the Haram” are not enough. Availability and final prices depend on your dates and room needs.
Can visa or entry help be included?+
It may be offered, depending on the agency and your situation. Ask exactly what assistance and fees are included. Assistance is not a promise of entry or approval. Review the visa and entry preparation guide.
What happens if my flight changes?+
Update your selected agency with the revised airport, date, local arrival time and flight number. Reconfirm pickup arrangements, waiting policies and any change charges. Do not assume a separate flight change automatically updates your Saudi services.
Does KaabaSharif book or take payment for the trip?+
No. KaabaSharif helps you request and compare options from participating U.S. Umrah agencies. Your selected agency confirms final availability, price, contract, payment and travel services. Requesting and comparing quotes is FREE, with no obligation to book. Travel services are not free.
