If you have been searching for an Umrah agency, you have probably noticed something. A lot of companies share the same beautiful words in their names. Salaam, Salam, Dar, Darussalam. They all come from the same root, which means peace, so it is no surprise that the names look and sound alike.
That similarity can be confusing, so let us make one thing completely clear.
We are a separate, independent company
Al Salaam Travels is not the same company as Dar es Salam, Dar El Salam or Darussalam. We have no affiliation with them. We do not share owners, offices, staff or booking systems with them, and we are not a branch, partner or reseller of any of them.
We are saying this plainly not to speak against any other business, but so that you always know exactly who you are dealing with when you book with us. Those are other companies with their own teams and their own customers. We are our own company, and we stand behind our own work.
Who Al Salaam Travels is
We are a United States based travel agency that focuses on one thing and tries to do it very well: Umrah for pilgrims flying from the US.
- We put flights, the Umrah visa, hotels in both cities, transport and ziyarat into one clear price.
- Our hotels are named, not hidden behind phrases like “five star near the Haram”, and they are a short walk from the mosque.
- We run scheduled group departures through the year, and we also build private trips around your dates.
- You get a real person to talk to, a written quote before you pay anything, and support on WhatsApp until you are back home.
How to be sure you are dealing with us
Because similar names exist, it is worth taking a few seconds to check you are in the right place.
- Our website is alsalaamtravels.com. Look closely at the spelling of the web address before you enter any details.
- Use the phone number and email shown on our own site. If someone contacts you claiming to be us from a different number, confirm it against the website first.
- Ask for a written quote with our name on it, listing your hotels, dates, room type and the total price, before you pay a deposit.
- Pay by credit card where you can, so you keep the protection that comes with it.
This is good advice whoever you book with, not only with us. Before you trust any agency, it is worth running through a simple set of checks. Our guide on how to choose an Umrah agency, and the warning signs to avoid walks you through them.
