Traveling Alone? You Are Not Alone.
Good news! Women can now come for Umrah without a Mahram below 45 (for most visas). It is a big step, but we know you might be asking: "Is it safe for me to go alone?"
The answer is Yes. Saudi Arabia is very safe and rigorously policed. But like any trip, you just need to be smart and choose the right help. Here is your survival guide.
1. Drivers You Can Trust (The "Sister Safety" Protocol)
We know safety is your #1 worry. That is why we have a special service tier:
- Checked Drivers: We check every driver's background. We only pick ones who are polite, respectful, and family-oriented.
- Privacy: Your ride is private. No strangers, no sharing seats. Just you and a professional driver who respects your space.
- No "Chatty" Drivers: Our drivers are instructed to speak only when necessary, respecting your privacy and spiritual focus.
2. Technology Keeps You Safe
Never get into a random street taxi. With us, you are always connected:
- Live Tracking: We give you a link to share with your family via WhatsApp. They can see exactly where you are on a map, real-time.
- Know Your Driver: We send you his name, photo, and car plate before he arrives. No guessing.
- 24/7 Support: Our team watches every trip. If you need help, we are just a call away.
3. Hotel Safety for Solo Sisters
When checking in:
- Request a Room Near the Elevator: It avoids long walks down empty corridors.
- Double Lock: Always use the deadbolt and safety latch when inside.
- Delivery Protocol: If ordering food (Talabat/HungerStation), ask the reception to have it delivered to the lobby, not your room door.
4. Finding Your Community
Solo doesn't mean lonely. In the Haram, you will find thousands of sisters.
- Prayer Areas: Sit in the designated women's sections. It is easy to make friends and find walking buddies for the return to your hotel.
- Group Ziyarat: If you feel uncomfortable going to Uhud alone, ask us to pair you with another family booking (if available) or stick to the main busy times (mornings).
Your Umrah is a special time with Allah. Let us handle the driving so you can focus on your prayers.
