Dar El Salam Travel

What Dar El Salam Travel does

Dar El Salam Travel, also operating as DST World Travel, is a private US-based travel agency specializing in Islamic religious pilgrimage and tourism. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in New York, the company sells Hajj and Umrah packages to Muslim individuals and families, primarily in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, while claiming service reach to 126 approved origin countries. Its core products are Hajj packages (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Umrah packages (year-round lesser pilgrimage), general Islamic Tours (including Jerusalem), and a newer "Partnered Journeys" line offered in collaboration with partner organizations.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer model, with package discovery handled through a WordPress-based website (dstworldtravel.com / darelsalam.com) and conversion driven by phone (US toll-free 1-866-327-7252) and email inquiries. Marketing is anchored on a content library covering Nusuk platform registration guides, Hajj terminology, package selection, and Saudi Arabia VAT refunds, supported by organic social channels on Facebook, X, and Instagram. There is no mobile app, no API, and no proprietary software disclosed; the technical footprint is limited to marketing and content systems.

Commercially, Dar El Salam generates revenue through one-time package fees that bundle accommodation near holy sites, transportation, group leadership, and on-ground imam guidance. The company does not disclose pricing publicly and does not appear to publish annual revenue. Ownership is private and founder/management-held with no institutional investor or parent company identified, and there is no public record of funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes.
