Booked the itinerary with [ziyara Tours ] and couldn't be happier.
The planning was spot-on, hotels were excellent... .

They handled a last-minute changes without any stress for us. Felt safe, cared for, and got to see the real side of the holy land , not just tourist traps. Highly recommend....

Perfect for families too!!!

Amazing experience! First ever time I went to Iraq with a group. Indeed a journey of a lifetime. Very cooperative, friendly group and organisers were amazing. A real value to money..
Can't believe they arranged so many ziyarat with what they charged us including everything...

May Allah bless them

I recently travelled with Ziyara Tours on a ziyarat journey through Iraq, visiting Najaf, Kufa, Karbala, Baghdad, Hilla, Basra, Mada’in, and Musayib. The entire experience was very well organised from start to finish.

Communication before and during the trip was excellent. The team kept everyone informed, answered questions promptly, and ensured that all arrangements ran smoothly. Their organisation made travelling between the various cities comfortable and stress-free.

What stood out most was their patience and dedication. They were always willing to assist, accommodate different needs, allowing us to fully benefit from the spiritual experience. Their professionalism and care helped create a welcoming atmosphere for the whole group.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have visited these blessed places with Ziyara Tours and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organised and memorable ziyarat experience in Iraq or elsewhere.

Iraq is home💕. A place of spiritual wealth, healing and mysticism. Where you are left enlightened. Alhamdulillah when you visit Iraq, especially Karbala you feel you’re going back in time. You experience awe and poignant visions of history encircling you and as you visit the blessed sites of Ahlul bayt (AS) you’re reflecting and retracing the footsteps of the family of the Prophet ﷺ . All types of emotions erupt inside you and your soul is awakened. When you visit Baghdad…. the land of the scholars and saints, you begin to feel deeply rooted connections; as you pass by sacred sites and are shown maqaams of the awliyah (ق) you feel humbled and spiritually touched 💕.
Iraq is a country which is often disregarded and underrated. It doesn’t receive the attention it deserves in terms of its Islamic history, culture, wealth of knowledge, education and spiritual sites which captivate your soul.
During the whole journey I was made to feel comfortable, welcomed and at peace by Ziyara tours. The mood was positive and vibrant. An incredible tour company mashaAllah with well structured itinerary, inspiring educational talks; friendly brothers providing excellent transport, delicious meals and conveniently located hotels.
I will cherish the memories 😁inshaAllah I pray our paths cross again. I had a wonderful time. Thank you for making it happen with Allah’s grace.
Thank you for all the hard work you do behind the scenes to make the tours a reality. May Allah reward you, preserve you and keep you blessed ameen 🤲💕

Exceptional service provided by Brother Sajid and the team. A vast itinerary, with the best choice of ground transport & hotels. Very detailed & comprehensive guided tours with lots of information across Islamic topics & leadership with knowledgeable scholars of Islam. Would definitely book again as I have been doing so already for years. 🤲🏻🌹

We cannot thank Ziyara Tours enough for the incredible support we received during a very stressful time. When our flights were cancelled during our Umrah trip, they stepped in immediately and worked tirelessly, day and night, to help us get back to the UK. Travelling with four little children made the situation even more challenging, but they handled everything so efficiently and made the entire process as smooth and quick as possible.

Apart from that, they were an amazing tour group throughout our entire trip. There were 28 of us travelling together, and they arranged a private coach just for our group. This made all our journeys—from the airports to Makkah and Madinah, as well as during our ziyarats—comfortable, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. Managing such a large group could have been difficult, but with Ziyara Tours, travelling from one place to another couldn’t have been any easier.

The hotel bookings were exactly as expected. They provided detailed information about each option and really listened to what we were looking for in our accommodation. Ziyara Tours gave us suitable choices and ensured everything met our needs. They truly went above and beyond with every little detail to make our Umrah trip perfect.
I would also like to thank the entire team at Ziyara Tours once again, with a special mention to the brother who personally handled our arrangements—he was outstanding from start to finish. May Allah bless Ziyara Tours immensely for all their hard work.

We are extremely grateful for their help and would highly recommend Ziyara Tours to anyone looking for a reliable and caring travel agent. If we are blessed with the opportunity to go for Umrah again, we will definitely be travelling with them again, InshaAllah.

Alhamdulilah this is the second time I've used Ziyara Tours. Brother Sajid is a top guy. 20 people to go for Umrah and made every step as easy as it gets. He also gave us an excellent package. If you planning to go for Umrah I would highly recommend using Ziyara Tours.

Asalam alikum I would recommend this company never had any issues they where very organised alhumdulliah made our stay easy

Alhumdullilah for the most amazing experience, this could not have been possible without the help from Ziyara tours. My invitation to Umrah came suddenly and unexpectedly, I really wanted to join my family who had prebooked months prior to going, and subhanallah my duas were accepted just 1 day before they were supposed to fly out . Brother Sajid from Ziyara tours had managed to find the same flight as my family ( despite this being full on many sites ) and had secured my umrah package / visa / hotel all within 24 hours prior to me flying out. I was so greatful for his help and support. I know no other group could have done this at such short notice, and I was loosing hope thinking it was unrealistic for this to happen within a day - but Ziyara tours were proactive in making this happen ! This is what makes this team incomparable from all the others - they go above and beyond to ensure everything happens efficiently. The guide who had taken us to ziyarat was very informative and many of us had learnt so much in such a short time, we were a large group of 16 but he made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. I was extremely pleased with the location of both hotels as they were in both in walking distance from the harram. Both hotels were clean , beds were super comfortable and the breakfast package was delicious. I would definitely book again and will be recommending to all my friends and family. May Allah reward the entire team of Ziyara tours abundantly - Ameen.

We booked through Ziyara tours as a large group with 16 members. Alhumdulilah all went smoothly and the organisation and information provided was meticulous. The check in at both hotels in Makkah and Medina was seamless, and the added touches of a guide for performing umrah as well as a string backpack was lovely. The transfers were smooth, and there was ample space and privacy in the transport provided. Jazakallahu khair for the brilliant service.

I have just returned from our first trip to Makkah and Madina. It was my families first Umrah. We booked through Ziyara Tours even though we are not from the London area. I am thankful and glad that we booked through them. Everything from the arrival at Jeddah airport, the transfer that was arranged by Ziyara Tours to Makkah, then our onwards trip to Madinah was excellent. It was stress free, we had a driver pick us up from the airport. The communication between ZT and us every step of the way was amazing. ZT stayed in contact and was the go between for our drivers and also the representative at both Hotels in Makkah and Medina. The representative had already checked us in for both Hotels prior to us arriving. All we had to do was get to our room, everything else was already sorted out. Our bags were brought to our room. This helped a lot due to having a big group which consisted of young children and elderly people (we travelled with my extended family).
The Hotels were amazing - we stayed in Double Tree Hilton in Makkah. It was a very short walk from the Haram and was very impressive. We stayed at the Worth Peninsula which was just as good and also a short distance walk from Masjid e Nabawi.
The transfer between Makkah and Madina was also arranged by ZT, our group of 16 were transported in a private coach (not a bus, a luxury coach!).
All in all, I was very impressed by ZT. Jazkallah to them for making our Umrah special. Very good service. I would highly recommend them.
People usually leave comments when they have a negative experience. I was compelled to write this review due to the professional service we were provided.

Sajid bhai has been really good with getting things sorted for us we wer a big group of 16 and alhumdulilah it was was a first umrah for most in that group. Sajid bhai has gone above and beyond for our group and we are so greatful. The hotels chosen were absolutely amazing and so close to the haram in both makkah and medina too. I would most certainly use ziyara tours again and would highly recommend to others

Had an amazing experience with Ziyara Tours. Brother Sajid was extremely helpful throughout the entire booking process and was always available to answer any questions. His support made everything smooth and stress-free. I would 100% recommend this company to family and friends, and I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I travelled to Egypt with Ziyara Tours, and I can say with complete certainty that this has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

This wasn’t just a trip — it was something that touched the heart in a way words struggle to capture. Every ziyarat carried a depth, a history, and a spiritual weight that you don’t just learn about… you feel. There were moments that genuinely left me speechless, moments of reflection, and moments I know will stay with me forever.

What made this experience even more special was how beautifully everything was organised. From the moment we arrived, everything flowed effortlessly. There were no issues, no stress — just a sense of ease that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the journey. That in itself is rare, and it made all the difference.

A huge part of that was down to Sajid and Hasaan. Truly, they went above and beyond in every sense. Always present, always attentive, always making sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. You could tell they weren’t just doing their job — they genuinely cared about our experience. That level of dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.

There’s something about being in those sacred spaces, surrounded by people who understand the significance of where you are, that changes you. It humbles you, grounds you, and reconnects you to something much bigger than yourself.

I came back with memories, but more than that, I came back with a feeling — one that I don’t think will ever leave me.

If you’re thinking about travelling with Ziyara Tours, don’t hesitate. Some journeys stay with you for a lifetime… and this is one of them.

Very well organised, full of information on religion and it's history. The scholar was excellent quality, everyone you wanted to know was provided. The guides were very knowledgeable. The price very reasonable and worth the money. Thank you to all the team.

From beginning to end everything was organised well !

I had an extraordinary experience performing Umrah with Ziyarah Tours in February 2026. From the outset, I enjoyed excellent communication with brother Sajid, who was consistently prompt in responding to my inquiries.

Our group comprised approximately 40 individuals, predominantly families with children. Prior to our departure, we participated in a Zoom training session with Imam Khalid, who is exceptionally knowledgeable and exceedingly helpful. He adeptly addressed our questions and instructed us on performing Umrah for the first time.

We resided for five nights in Medina and subsequently five nights in Mecca. The hotel in Medina was merely a minute’s stroll from the 305 gate of Masjid Nabawi. In Medina, we had the privilege of greeting the Prophet (saw), visiting Al Baqi cemetery after the morning prayer, embarking on a walking tour around Masjid Nabawi, and attending Juma prayer. We also visited Masjid Al Qiblatayn, Uhud mountain, and Masjid Quba. Imam Khalid furnished us with comprehensive information about these sites and their significance, and we attended lectures almost daily.

Following our five nights in Medina, we travelled by coach to Dhul Hulayfah and entered the state of Ihram there. We arrived in Mecca close to midnight, deposited our luggage at the hotel, and proceeded to the Haram to perform Umrah. Imam Khalid led our group, and we recited the duas in unison with him. He elucidated everything in meticulous detail and was exceedingly helpful.

The hotel in Mecca was situated on Ibrahim Khalil Road and featured a mosque within the premises. Additionally, one could join Jamaat during prayer on the street or walk to the Haram for prayers. The hotel was approximately a 15-minute walk from the Haram. We visited Mina, Muzdalifah, and Arafat. We observed fasting while in Mecca during Ramadan. We also performed a second Umrah on Thursday night in Ramadan. We attended Juma prayer in the Haram. Furthermore, one could break their fast in the Haram and partake in Taraweeh prayers there. Food is provided complimentary in the Haram.

In conclusion, our journey was magnificent, and I extend my gratitude to Ziyara Tours for our unforgettable experience. I wish Ziyara Tours continued success in their endeavours and hope they will be the catalyst for thousands of individuals undertaking their Umrah and other tours. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to Imam Khalid for his teachings and guidance during our Umrah.

Ramadan Umrah February 2026 🤍

My husband and I booked the Ramadan Medina and Makkah package with Ziyara tours for February 2026 - arranged by brothers Rashid and Sajid. We were very blessed (Alhumdulillah) to have the lead of Imam Khalid Hussain during the entire trip - May Allah swt protect them all.

We were recommended Ziyara tours by people within our community. As two people who were invited to the blessed lands of Medina and Makkah for the first time it was important for us to find a tour company who understood our spiritual aim. When we spoke to brothers Rashid and Sajid we instantly felt at ease.

Everything pre / during and post trip was taken care of by the Ziyara team to which I will always be thankful because it gave us the opportunity to remain spiritually present. We never felt the burden of any logistical issues (despite travelling during a record breaking time for number of pilgrims), everything was sorted seamlessly - we were taken care of and treated like family from the very first correspondence.

It was clear from the start that the itinerary had been created with heart and Islam at the centre. The daily darse sessions by Imam Khalid I will truly miss, the reminders kept spiritual focus especially at the beginning of the trip. We completed two Quran in total (one in Medina and one in Mecca) as a group. This was initiated by the ziyara team which again was so special. May Allah swt accept all our efforts.

The Ziyara team have a new initiative called the Ziyara trust in which they aim to support communities all over the world through donations. During our trip, we had the opportunity to give sadaqah and get involved in the work that Ziyara trust can do in both Mecca and Medina. Another example of how this trip was not an umrah tick box, but more of a journey which has educated and opened our hearts forever in sha Allah.

A big misconception about group tours: “Do you have to do everything together with the group?”

The Ziyara’s are done as a group. The darse sessions are upto 45 minutes and arranged in a shared space with Imam Khalid. The majority of the trip is completely free rein - being in a group doesn’t mean your personal experience is restricted, for me it elevated the trip because everyone became family. If anyone was unable to attend the darse sessions for example, there was no issues - the team was never there to restrict / control personal worship or to over exhaust - the focus was to elevate / maximise each individuals experience with care and consideration.

We completed our initial umrah together led by Imam Khalid which was an experience I will never forget (Alhumdulillah). The night before, we had a session with Imam Khalid in which he talked through the steps of completing Umrah. He also gave time to talk through the rules when in the state of Ihram to ensure everyone was equipped. The brothers were given separate time to talk through how to wear their Ihram. You never felt uneasy about asking questions. Imam Khalid always made time, and brothers Sajid / Rashid were always reminding us they were our Khidmah team.

We used ear piece devices on the day of umrah along with a very good handbook (both provided by Ziyara tours). The handbook ended up being what I used throughout despite having taken various other materials. There was an optional umrah on the first night of Ramadan (logistics to masjid Aisha organised by the team). But in between there was free rein to complete tawaaf, additional umrah’s, attend the masjid as wanted. There were families from all over the UK in the group of different ages (the youngest being a 3 month old baby Allah humma barik 🩵).

I truly pray that Allah swt continues to put so much barakah into this special business and allows Muslims across the world to experience travelling with Ziyara tours.

Jazak’Allah Khairun to brothers Sajid, Rashid and Imam Khalid for truly taking us on a journey of a lifetime and allowing us to experience this blessed journey with an amazing group of people who we will cherish in our hearts forever in sha Allah. 🤍

A Truly Life-Changing Experience with Ziyarah Tours.

I want to share a fantastic experience with you all.

This was my first time booking with a tour company. For the past two years, friends and family had been recommending Ziyarah Tours to us. We kept planning and planning — but Allah is the Best of Planners.

For around three months, I was trying to organise flights and hotels myself for my family, and to say it became stressful would be an understatement.

SubhanAllah, a friend who had recommended a few hotels sent me a Ziyarah Tours leaflet — and it had the exact dates we were looking for. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but then I realised this was a sign from Allah. I didn’t waste any time, especially as I had already heard outstanding reviews about Ziyarah Tours.

Booking was super easy. Everything was clearly explained — a full itinerary, hotel details, length of stay, transport arrangements — all broken down properly. My heart felt content, and we booked and paid for the tour.

After booking, communication was excellent. We were regularly updated throughout the process, and as promised, tickets and visas were issued exactly when they said they would be. Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly, which quickly removed any doubts I had about using tour companies.

We were truly blessed to have Imam Khalid Hussain from Leicester guiding us throughout the journey. For first-timers like my family, we benefitted tremendously from his knowledge, wisdom, and ability to explain religious insights in such a practical and heartfelt way. He was always available to answer questions and guide us with sincerity and patience.

During the tour, Sajid and Rashid handled logistics exceptionally well and took extra care of those who required assistance. The entire team were thoughtful, patient, and always smiling. The pace of the tour was perfect, with plenty of consideration given to our wheelchair-using family member. Transport was well organised, and nothing ever felt rushed or stressful.

One of the most special moments for us was being given the opportunity to serve food to those opening their fast with Iftar. That experience alone was deeply moving for our whole family.

My child Hussayn made lots of friends during the tour, and there was a beautiful sense of unity among the group. Whether it was helping with the pushchair, changing seats on the plane so families could sit together, or simply showing kindness through their actions, the brothers demonstrated beautiful character that reflected the example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Over 40 people were on our tour, and every single person we spoke to had great things to say about Ziyarah Tours.

I genuinely cannot fault the team or Imam Khalid Hussain. They made our experience memorable, smooth, spiritually uplifting, and truly life-changing. They brought us closer to Allah SWT and strengthened our love for our Prophet ﷺ.

I wish to thank the entire team and Imam Khalid Hussain — you have left a lasting and positive impression on our family. We are already looking to book another tour with Ziyarah Tours.

I have so much more to say but limited space here.
If there is one thing I would confidently say, it would be:

“Say Bismillah and book with Ziyarah Tours — you will not regret it.”

May Allah put barakah in all that you do.
Ameen

February Ramadan Umrah Tour.

I had the blessed opportunity to travel with Ziyara Tours.
Originally I had booked with another company but just two and a half weeks before we was due to leave they cancelled the whole trip. I went on a mad hunt for another Umrah trip. There within a few days I found Ziyara Tours who responded to me straight away.
At first the single women rooms were all fully booked but brother Sajid advised me to give him a couple of days to see if he could manage to find me a place. Alhumdullah he came back to me in a matter of a few hours and asked if I would be willing to share with another two ladies, who agreed to move into a room of three.
I also had some queries regarding seating and flights.
Subhanallah I found Ziyara Tours not to be phased nor to be unwilling to help.
Whatever I asked or queried it was answered and I felt fully supported before even going on this trip. Throughout the trip any concerns, thoughts, feelings were answered, met with honest and kind support by both Sajid and Rashid.
Never once was something ignored or left aside. Alhumdullah before the trip and throughout the trip with Ziyara Tours by the grace of Allah SWT made the whole trip smooth, no hiccups or issues. I truly believe their is baraka in them. Mashallah allahuma barak 3lihoum.
On our Ziyara tour of madinah we weren't allowed to enter Masjid Al Quba to park the coach, as many other coaches weren't either.
The gents from Ziyara Tours surprised us with an open buggy ride to Masjid Al Quba that evening. Which turnt out to be very beautiful and spiritual.
They ensure that we did not miss out.
On this trip we had a daily darse which I enjoyed from Imam Khalid who gave us good islamic advised/ talks, which all seemed to hit the nail of the head of how I was feeling or wondering on that day.
He also naturally applied banter which was warming and light hearted.
We had a talk on zoom and also the day before the first Umrah on how Umrah is done, what to expect and what was the plan. From the Imam and the brothers from Ziyara Tours. Even through my personal two umrahs I had the brothers helping me with big and small milestones. May Allah SWT reward them. They had no issues nor no qualms.
Whether is Madinah or Makkah they brothers ensured we knew where to go and gave us advise with physical videos and pictures of meeting points, landmarks, local amenities and currency exhange.
Sincerely brothers and sisters I could go one but I doubt you would want to read a massive long review. But sincerely from the bottom of my heart please do go with Ziyara, please tell your family and friends as well. They are professional, sincere, kind, reliable, trustworthy, approachable and a Moroccan saying اللي أمرهم دار. They honestly put their whole heart into the trips and into you as an individual. I could never thank them enough. اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ
