Alhijaz Travel

What Alhijaz Travel does

Alhijaz Travel is a UK-based, privately held travel agency headquartered at Suite No.5, The Old Dispensary, 30 Romford Road, Stratford, London E15 4BZ, specializing in Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage packages for the UK Muslim community. The company has been operating for approximately 30 years and is authorized by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, ATOL-protected by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, and IATA-accredited. It offers flights, visas, hotel accommodation (3–5 star), ground transportation, and guided Ziyarat tours bundled into all-inclusive packages, with departure airports across the UK and parts of Europe (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Bristol, Cardiff, Belfast, Dublin, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Liverpool, plus Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven).

The core product portfolio comprises seasonal Umrah packages (Easter, Ramadan, September, October, November, December tiers from ~£325 to ~£1,769), Hajj packages (economy non-shifting, shifting, 5-star non-shifting, VIP — minimum £1,000 deposit), Islamic heritage tours to Turkey, Egypt, Spain, Palestine and Uzbekistan, Al-Aqsa Tours, and standalone visa services (Umrah, Hajj, Saudi business, Saudi family visit). Pricing is tiered by star rating, duration, season, and inclusions; deposits start at £100 for Umrah and £1,000 for Hajj, with easy payment plans.

The business model is sales-led and relationship-driven: a small team led by Sales Manager Adnan Butt and Hajj Manager Irfan handles phone, WhatsApp, Skype, live chat, website inquiry, and walk-in bookings. Revenue is generated via one-time package transactions (Hajj/Umrah) and professional-service fees (visa processing), with airline and hotel partnerships (Saudi Arabian Airlines, British Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad, EgyptAir, Gulf Air; Makkah Clock Royal Tower, InterContinental, Marriott, Radisson Blu) supplying fulfillment capacity. The technology layer is a standard travel-agency website with inquiry forms and live-chat integration; there is no mobile app, no public API, and no proprietary technology assets.
