Umrah in Pakistan is about to change for the good. Islamic Pilgrimage, the leading export of Pakistan has unfortunately been commercially driven and ritual-centric, robbing the Haji (pilgrim) of their once-in-a-lifetime experience. Historically, Pakistan has represented 1.6 million (22%) of the annual 8 million global travellers to the holy Kaaba in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. As a major market for Umrah pilgrimage travel, the yearly $3 billion USD spending within the Pakistani economy has been in desperate need of a makeover. Hope is on the horizon as Funadiq.com is changing the Umrah industry in Pakistan through digital transformation, professionalism, documented cash flow, and major partnerships to uplift the pilgrim experience.

The home-grown Pakistani start-up and pioneer of the Islamic pilgrimage’s digital transformation is taking the next step forward in conjunction with Pakistan’s leading Airline service provider – PIA. These patriotic partners are aligning to introduce Umrah With PIA, making travel easier and more transparent for customers all over Pakistan.

The Memorandum of Understanding recently signed embeds cooperation and synthesis among the two stakeholders, benefiting the consumers with discounted prices and adding value to the industry by acting as a strategic medium for the encouragement of bilateral tourism.

Funadiq’s appointment by The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah Saudi Arabia as an official Maqam GDS Online Travel Agency (OTA) makes them the only tour operator in Pakistan that is associated with the Umrah and Hajj Ministry. Being such a massive player in the industry combined with its recognition and collaboration with the government institution signifies highly the credibility of Funadiq and their commitment towards a travel reformation that is based on security and comfort.

This can perhaps best be summarized with the help of comments made by a Funadiq official present at a recent conference,

“By this partnership, we will be aiming to provide better services for the Umrah pilgrims coming to Saudi Arabia to promote tourism as well as bilateral tourism, bringing the Saudi nationals to Pakistan in collaboration with PIA”.

This MoU is a decisive step towards making the spiritual journey of 200 million Pakistani Muslims a pleasant and memorable one, with the prospect of scaling bilateral tourism that ultimately boosts the economy of both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Umrah With PIA is the product that will help bring Funadiq.com’s ultimate goal of bridging the gap between Muslims and the House of Allah, Makkah and Madinah to fruition.
