Questions travelers ask

What is included in the price?
Each departure card lists what its price covers: flights or land package, hotel class, meals, the guide and the group size. Your advisor goes through the day-by-day plan with you before you pay a deposit.
Who travels on these tours?
Muslim travelers, couples, families and community groups from across the USA and Canada. Each departure card shows the largest the group can be.
Do I need a visa?
That depends on your passport and the destination. Your advisor checks the entry rules for every traveler in your group before you pay a deposit, and tells you what to apply for and when.
Can I join from Canada or from another US city?
Yes. The group flies from one gateway; your advisor arranges a connecting flight from your city to it, or you can book your own ticket and meet the group.
A destination I want has no dates. What can I do?
Choose "Tell me when dates open" under that journey. We call you as soon as a departure is set. A community group can also ask us about a private departure.
What if I have to cancel?
The rules for each stage are in our refund and cancellation policy, and your advisor gives them to you in writing before you pay.
