This was a phenomenal experience, where all we had to do was show up and Dar el Salam staff took care of us from the moment we signed up, until we arrived home from the trip. The preparation before traveling was really informative and helped us as first timers, feel more comfortable. It helped us get ready and be in the mindset of Umrah. The WhatsApp group leading up to the trip was extremely helpful during our stay. With the hotels having wifi, it was almost not required to use additional data during our stay. The tours were really informative and gave us insight into the early stages of Islam. Visiting all the historical sites helped gain a better understanding of what it was like during the times of our Prophet SAWS. With the help of Dar el Salam, our stay in Madinah, helped us become better Muslims, and with their help, our stay in Makkah helped us strengthen our connection to Allah. The conferences both in Madinah and Makkah, really helped bind the entire experience and allowed us to really learn and bring those lessons back home with us. The dinner in Arafat was a pleasant surprise and "icing on the cake" towards the entire experience. The group leaders all deserve a special mention here, for without them, none of the experience would have been pleasant. They were very friendly and were always available to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be using Dar el Salam again, for all of our Islamic travel.
