Pickup & Arrival
Driver picks you up from your Madinah hotel. The most important part of this journey is the stop at Miqat Dhu'l-Hulayfah (Abyar Ali), just outside Madinah, where the driver will wait for you to shower (optional), wear Ihram, and make intention for Umrah before proceeding to Makkah.

- Assistance with luggage loading
- Direct drop-off at destination
Choosing Your Vehicle
