Finding a Trustworthy Umrah Agency from the US

Salam everyone, I’m looking for a reliable Umrah travel agency that operates from the US. My family and I were about to book with one, but they’re charging close to $3,000 per person for a group of four. I’ve seen some ads with lower prices-around $1,800 to $1,900-covering flights, hotel, visa, and transport like the train between Makkah and Madinah. Has anyone used a more affordable agency and had a good experience? I know some suggest booking everything yourself to save money, but I feel like the costs for visa, hotel, flights, and local travel can really add up without an agency. We’re hoping to go around October or November ideally. Jazakum Allahu khairan for any recommendations.

I'm planning too and so stressed! Some sisters recommend Noor Travel, but I haven't tried them. Always check if they're IATA certified, that saved us from a disaster once.

Sis, I totally get the struggle! We used Adam Travel last year and paid about $1900 each, all included. They were legit, clean hotels and the train was a breeze. May Allah bless your trip.

Salam! We went with Hilal Travel and it was around $1850 with flights from JFK. Oct-Nov is perfect weather inshaAllah. Make sure they have good reviews on Muslim groups.

Be careful with those super cheap ads-some are scams. A friend got stranded with no hotel. I'd rather pay a bit more for peace of mind. Maybe check Dawa Travel?
