As-Salamu-Alaykum,
My name is Hajia Lola Mustapha. I'm originally from Nigeria but I now live in New York.
My 1st Hajj was in 1981 and I have made about 25 plus Hajj & Umrah combined. I go to Hajj almost every year even in 2013.
Just last month, I went to umrah with the ICNYU-UMRAH-2014 GROUP.
I just wanted you to know that from the beginning of the trip to end with the wonderful dinner at Mt. Arafat has been an amazing experience with spiritual uplifting that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Alhamdulillai.
The accommodations, both Medina and Mecca was fantastic. Both accommodations were the closest you can get to both Holy Houses. The buses that took us from one place to another were fantastic, nicer and cleaner than most buses you travel on in the US.
With my 25 plus times that I have perform both Hajj and Umrah, this is the most complete and satisfying trip of all my trips combine.
Your staffs at Jeddah - Mohammed Salim, - Medina - Oh I forgot his name. (He wears eye glass) and the - Mecca - Mohammed Fatty and his partners are all God sent and the best you could ever asked for.
They were very professional, patience, respectful, wonderful and amazing group of people. They were always there when you need them. They respond very quickly to your needs and your wants any time of the day you call them with a smile even when they are tried. I once or twice asked if they ever sleep. They all welcome us with open arms and saw us at the airport with gratitude. May Allah Ta'ala Bless, Guide and Protect them and their family.
I want you to know that Dar-El-Salam is just the best Travel Agent ever and in my opinion Allah put them here to help all Muslims to achieve their goals whenever they made this spiritual trip to Mecca and Medina and will recommend Dar-El-Salam to everybody/anybody that I know
I want to take this opportunity to thank everybody that make this trip such an unforgettable blessed one for me at Dar El Salam.
May Allah Ta'ala forgive us our sins and purity us a purification that only He can provide and we ask him to grant this for us through the love that He has for His beloved messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)
Wa Alaykum Salam,
HLMustapha
