Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we answer every day at the counter, collected in one place. Can't find yours? WhatsApp us — a real person replies.

Hajj

Is Hajj 2027 registration open?

Yes — registration of interest for Hajj 2027 (1448H) is open now. Send us your details on WhatsApp or visit either office; you'll be first to receive package details, pricing and announcements.

What documents are needed to register for Hajj?

A recent passport-size photograph on a white background (for ladies, head and ears covered), a clear scanned CNIC/NICOP copy, a passport scan if available, plus your contact number, valid email address and residence address.

Do your Hajj packages include Mina and Arafat arrangements?

Yes. Every package includes tented accommodation and meals in Mina and Arafat according to its tier, transport between the holy sites, and group leaders who guide pilgrims through each day of the manasik.

Umrah

What does an Umrah package include?

Umrah visa, return flights, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, airport and inter-city transfers, and guidance throughout. Ziyarat is included in executive and VIP tiers and available on request with economy packages.

How early should I book a Ramadan Umrah?

As early as you can — ideally two to three months ahead. Hotels near Haram sell out well before Ramadan and prices rise as the month approaches, especially for the last ashra.

Can elderly parents perform Umrah comfortably with you?

Yes. We arrange wheelchair assistance, nearby hotels to minimise walking, and coordinators who check on elderly travellers throughout. Tell us about any special needs when booking and we plan around them.

Visas

Do you process Saudi visit visas with Iqama approval?

Yes — including 3-month Saudi visit visas with Iqama approval. You'll typically need the sponsor's Iqama copy (front and back), a confirmed return ticket and a Saudi mobile number. Send these on WhatsApp for confirmation of current requirements.

Which countries' visit visas can you help with?

Beyond Saudi Arabia, we guide travellers through visit-visa requirements for the UAE, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Thailand and other popular destinations — including document preparation and appointment logistics.

Tickets, Hotels & Tours

Can you find cheaper tickets than online booking sites?

Frequently — particularly for groups, Umrah-season travel and multi-city routings where agency fares beat public web fares. Either way, you get a team that handles schedule changes and problems for you.

How close to Haram are your Makkah hotels?

From economy hotels with shuttle service to towers directly adjacent to Masjid al-Haram — we state the honest walking time for every property we quote, so you choose with accurate expectations.

Which tour destinations are most popular right now?

Baku, Istanbul and Dubai lead for short international holidays from Pakistan — easy visas, short flights and great value. We arrange both fixed group departures and custom family itineraries.

Do you help students travelling abroad for study?

Yes — student-fare tickets with extra baggage, first-flight guidance for solo travellers, and visit-visa help for parents attending convocations. One office handles the whole family's travel.

Booking & Payment

How do I get a quote and how fast do you reply?

WhatsApp is fastest: send your destination, dates and traveller count and we usually reply within the hour during business hours. You can also call the Faisalabad head office or Lahore branch, or walk in.

Why should we book with Haji Dawood Group?

Because 53 years of service is the strongest guarantee in this business. Established in 1973, we've guided three generations of Pakistani families — with honest quotes, complete arrangements and real people who answer.
