Assalamouaikum, Thank to Dar El Salam for helping me for my first Umrah trip on May 8-17 for the year 2014. I made a phone from Philadelphia to Dar El Salam Travel in New York Office to book my trip. I received my package with my visa, books of Umrah, Duah’s, name tag, schedule of my trip and much more at home. The staffs from the New York office were very friendly, helpful and nice in offering me many options and deals for my Umrah but my choice went for the mother’s day package. I was offered to stay at the five stars hotel in Madina and in Makkah. The breakfast was included in the package. I arrived at Jeddah airport many staffs from Dar El salam came to assist me for a transit to another flight to Al Madina. When I arrived at Al Madina, Once again, the staffs from Dar El Salam took care of my luggage. I was welcome with amenities into the bus. The bus driver, tour agent and other staffs were very kind with me. I received my room keys in the bus as an express check-in. Once I reached my room, there was a second amenity into my room in Al Madina. In Al Madina, I attended a few lecturers about the Umrah by the staff of Dar El Salam. The hotel in Madina was located near Al Masjid Nawabi. I had the opportunity to pray at Al Rawdah for me, my family and friends. I also went on a tour trip with Dar El Salam staffs to visit an exhibit of the Prophet (SAW), the Mount Uhud, Quba Masjid, Qiblatain Masjid and other historical sites. The staffs were guiding me step by step and I did not feel that I was alone. I had a wonderful time in Al Madina. Arriving in Makkah, I performed my Umrah properly. I also prayed the Jummah Salaat and make many duah’s in front of the Kaaba. May Allah Accepts all my duah’s. The hotel was located in the Al Haram. I visited Jabal Thawr, Arafat, Muzdalifah, Mina Jab/ Al Nur (Cave Nur). I had an express check out back to Jeddah airport for my departure. The bus was on time. Dar el Salam staffs were present at the airport for help and offered me zamzam water. All the services were great and excellent. Thank to Dar El salam in offering free diner at Al Madina and in Makkah. The foods and drinks were delicious and abundance. In the morning, the breakfast buffet stations were full with hot food and cold food. The chefs were also cooking on the site. The restaurant staffs were very nice. In general, in Al Medina and Makah I did not had any problems. The staffs of the hotels were very kind and generous. The lecturer from the sister and brothers from Dar El Salam Travel had made my Umrah an easy one. I did not expect that, I will learn so much about my trip than expected. Finally, without Dar El Salaam, I would never have such a nice trip to the holy places. I could not forget my Umrah trip. It’s a memorable one. Thank to Dar El salam. Jazakallah. Allah Hafiz.
