A truly inspirational and motivational journey Alhamdulliah! We visited several sites including Masjid Quba, the Archers' Tower at Mount Uhud and Ta'if, bringing to life the amazing Seerah of our beloved Messenger ﷺ. Travel Express did a fantastic job arranging all the nuances like transportation and visas and are with you every step of the way if there are any issues. I leave the best to last: our group leader Sheikh El Mahdi. Not only does he have profound knowledge of the religious and historical significance of the different sites we visited, but he also shared his humorous ways with us all, demonstrating that you can have fun whilst learning about the Deen! Alhamdulliah! I would definitely recommend to family and friends and anyone else looking to complete their Umrah In Sha Allāh! This was my first Umrah and my husband’s third, it was truly a memorable one with a wonderful group. Barakallahu Feekum, Sultan & Onjuma Read less

I travelled for Umrah in December with Hajj and Umrah Express and it was truly one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences of my life. From the very beginning, everything was organised with care and professionalism, which allowed us to focus fully on our ibadah without any unnecessary stress or worry. The ziyarahs were incredibly insightful and meaningful, especially with Sheikh Mahdi as our guide. His knowledge, reminders and explanations brought the history and significance of the blessed places to life and deepened the spiritual impact of the journey. Having Baba Ali and his wife alongside Sheikh Mahdi as guides was also amazing — they were warm, supportive and always attentive, making everyone feel comfortable and looked after throughout the trip. I also want to mention that some of the volunteers in our group were extremely helpful, always checking in, offering assistance and going out of their way to support others with genuine kindness and sincerity. Their efforts truly reflected the spirit of service and added to the sense of community throughout the journey. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure everyone was safe, comfortable and spiritually fulfilled. Because everything was so well managed, we were able to truly be present in the Haramain and strengthen our connection with Allah. I am extremely grateful to Hajj and Umrah Express for facilitating such a beautiful journey and would wholeheartedly recommend everyone to travel with them. In shā’ Allāh, I would not hesitate to choose them again for future trips. Read less

I cannot recommend Haj and Umrah Express highly enough, the entire experience from start to finish was truly excellent. Both the hotels in Makkah and Madinah were outstanding, and the breakfast variety was impressive every morning. Logistics were seamless, with transport for transfers and Ziyarats being exceptionally clean and always on time. The highlight was the extended Ziyarat, which was worth every penny. Sheikh Mahdi is a true asset to the team. He is an incredibly humble man with a vast amount of knowledge, delivered with genuine passion. Sheikh shared fascinating stories that brought the history to life and made sure everyone in the group felt included. He kept the group engaged throughout and was very attentive to our comfort, ensuring regular stops for food and breaks. His lectures added so much depth to the trip. Thank you, Haj and Umrah Express, for such a memorable journey!" Read less

Hajj and Umrah Express made my Umrah trip unforgettable. If I had known it would be this good, I would have done Umrah much earlier. Our group had brothers and sisters from many different backgrounds. People were at different stages of life, careers, and their deen. Sheikh Mahdi spent time getting to know everyone personally. He was patient with those who needed more support and encouraged those he knew could do more. He looked after everyone according to their needs. His emotional intelligence was on another level. I would not hesitate to send my elderly parents or younger siblings who are not confident travelling for Umrah alone. My original plan was to do Umrah with Hajj and Umrah Express just to gain experience before bringing my family. Now I regret not bringing them with me. They could have benefited from meeting Sheikh Mahdi, his hospitality, and his world-class way of teaching and speaking about the Seerah. Before this trip, I didn’t even know the difference between Makkah and Madinah. Now I know the names of the different corners of the Kaaba. In just 10 days I learned so much, improved my deen, made new friends, and grew closer to Allah. May Allah reward everyone who made this trip safe, enjoyable, and full of knowledge.

Alhamdulillah for the successful completion of my Umrah. Asalaam Alaikum. I am deeply grateful to have experienced my first Umrah, and it was nothing short of a beautiful and transformative journey. Sheik Mahdi is such a compassionate person; Jazakallah, he truly made everyone feel valued and cherished. His teachings on the Sunnah were enlightening and heartwarming. The hotels in Medina and Mecca were conveniently located near the Masjid, which made attending prayers effortless and meaningful. The bus service was another blessing, providing comfort and ease as we traveled around. I genuinely felt embraced by the wonderful group they created an atmosphere that felt like family. I cannot express enough how appreciative I am of their support. Alhamdulillah. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Express to anyone looking to embark on this sacred journey. May Allah grant His best rewards to everyone in the Travel Express team and all those who shared this experience with me. Alhamdulillah!!! Amen!!! Read less

I booked my Umrah package with Hajj and Umrah Express and honestly, it was the best decision ever! Everything was taken care of from the very start, from travel to accommodation and all the ziyarat. A special thanks to Sheikh Mahdi for looking after us, sharing so much knowledge, and even helping us get the best deals when shopping! I can’t thank the team enough. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re a first-timer and feeling nervous, they make the whole journey stress-free and truly unforgettable. Read less

Alhamdulillah, I am truly grateful to Hajj and Umrah Express for organizing such a life-changing Umrah journey. From start to finish, everything was five-star — the hotels, the transportation, the ziyarahs, and the overall organization. Every detail was handled with excellence, allowing us to focus on our worship and reflection. A very special mention goes to Sheikh Mahdi. I can sincerely say that on this journey I didn’t just find a guide, I gained a brother for life. His wise words, his passion, and his eloquence in reminding us of the struggles our beloved Prophet ﷺ endured so that Islam could reach us, deeply touched my heart. His presence and guidance elevated this experience beyond measure. Equally, the group members were a blessing — we came as strangers but left as a family for life. The brotherhood and sisterhood formed during these days is something I will always cherish. These ten days have truly transformed my perspective on life. I return with a renewed sense of faith, gratitude, and purpose. I cannot thank Hajj and Umrah Express enough for everything they have done for us, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an unforgettable and spiritually uplifting journey. Read less

We used Hajj and Umrah Express back in October to plan an Umrah trip for April. Everything was done incredibly quickly and efficiently. All my needs and requirements were listened to, and we got everything we wanted. As for our trip, alhamdulillah it was the smoothest journey. Taha was constantly in touch with us regarding our flights, when we landed, providing advice, bookings on the nusuk app and transport between each city and the airports. We didn't have to worry about anything as it was all sorted for us. This really was such an unforgettable experience, and having the company do the admin work for you, made a huge difference. Alhamdulillah would absolutely use them again, and will be recommending them to everyone who wants to go. They have loads of packages available but you can also tailor your own personalised one. Very grateful to Taha for making my du'a an effortless reality. Read less

This umrah agent was recommended by my brother as he’s been travelling with them for some years. I was a bit unsure as there seemed to be a lack of clarity about exact details of the package, but I went ahead so I could accompany my brother. In the end, I was very impressed at how smoothly the trip went. I have been blessed to make umrah several times before, so I can say that H&U Express did a great job with flights, hotels and transport. I was especially happy with the hotels and how quickly we were able to check in. My wife and daughters were also highly satisfied with the package. We chose not take part in any of the tours, so I cannot comment there. One recommendation is that it should be made clear where we should meet the tour guide when first arriving at the airport. Our guide throughout the trip, Ali, was extremely polite and helpful. Jazakallah khairah to him (and to Taha) for making this a positive experience. Read less
