Pakistani pilgrims are being offered low-cost Umrah Packages with the start of the new Umrah season in 2025. A Saudi-based travel and hospitality consortium took this groundbreaking step to transform the Umrah experience for Pakistanis. Industry leaders like Funadiq.com, Emaar Al Diyafa Group, and Skyline Travel Company are leading the program. The program is driven by a vision to improve and modernize the pilgrimage infrastructure in Pakistan. 

Mission with a Purpose

According to Muhammad Salman Arain, CEO of Funadiq.com, the core mission of this initiative is to reduce Umrah costs by 25% and Hajj costs by 20% by September 2025. With over two million Pakistanis performing Umrah and Hajj annually, the financial burden has long been a concern. This project is addressing that challenge by injecting innovation, technology, and operational reforms across Pakistan’s travel agencies. He also added, “With the introduction of the H1447 Umrah policy, travel agents across Pakistan are struggling to operate, and Umrah packages are becoming unnecessarily expensive. We are stepping in to help change that - working closely with the government, airlines, and private sector partners.”

Enhancing Pilgrimage Infrastructure

This initiative brings the best Umrah Packages at an affordable cost. The step is taken to enhance the pilgrimage system in Pakistan so that more people can have access to affordable Umrah. The fund will also be used to enhance efficiency within the small and medium-sized travel agencies. Another notable development is the introduction of the AI-powered agent, "Ibraheem." The first ever Umrah assistant and advisor to guide pilgrims throughout their journey. The AI-powered agent simplifies the Umrah planning process and provides details regarding Umrah Packages and hotels that best suit pilgrims.

The journey begins with arrival at Jeddah Airport, followed by a smooth transfer to Makkah. Pilgrims stay in shared quad-room accommodations conveniently located near Masjid al-Haram, allowing easy access for daily prayers and rituals.

After completing their initial stay in Makkah, the group travels to Madinah via organized ground transport. Accommodation here is also provided in a centrally located hotel near Masjid al-Nabawi, ensuring a peaceful and spiritually fulfilling experience in the Prophet’s city.

Once the stay in Madinah concludes, pilgrims return to Makkah for additional time to perform further prayers and complete their Umrah obligations. Finally, the journey wraps up with a return transfer to Jeddah Airport, ensuring a smooth and successful conclusion to this spiritual expedition.

Final Thought

In a time when financial pressures keep most Pakistani Muslims from performing Umrah, these Umrah Packages, backed by a $50 million fund, offer a comfortable journey.
