Introducing Funadiq’S Maqam B2C Platform

By Funadiq Team

Our comprehensive platform is designed for customers seeking the perfect Umrah experience.

Funadiq is humbled and proud to be among the 35 online travel agencies to be integrated with MAQAM GDS, the new centralized Umrah reservation system by the Ministry of Hajj & Umrah, Saudi Arabia. We are now happy to announce our customer-facing platform Maqam B2C. Maqam B2C allows customers the autonomy of customizing each aspect of their Umrah package and the added benefit of instant confirmation with their eVisa delivered directly to their inbox within 4 hours of booking. 


About the Maqam Global Distribution System 

Maqam is the GDS (global distribution system) introduced by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to digitize the full Umrah booking process and promote transparency and revive the Muslim pilgrimage experience. The system provides complete information of all Makkah and Madinah suppliers to approved e-commerce sites such as Funadiq.com to facilitate hassle-free and reliable pilgrimage bookings. 

As well, the system can link services, rates and bookings by consolidating products and services across all travel sectors, specific reservations for hotels, ground transportation, and meet and greet services to ensure pilgrims are getting confirmed bookings for the best price.

Our goal is to create autonomy and transparency within the Umrah booking process by allowing travellers to personalize each aspect of their experience from their hotel accommodations in the holy cities to their ground transportation throughout their stay. As well as assisting our customers by providing them with a reliable, transparent and overall superior travel experience that they desire on this life-changing spiritual journey.



Most importantly Maqam B2C caters to those last-minute travellers by offering instant confirmation. Upon completing your booking travellers will receive their Umrah eVisas in as little as 30 minutes directly to their inbox. We have also introduced additional features to make your booking process more seamless including the ability to upload a photo of your passport rather than manually uploading the information to help expedite the process and make it more enjoyable.
