Can I travel if I'm sick?

For unhealthy individuals, there are no special requirements before performing Umrah, except for taking a few over-the-counter medications like painkillers and antihistamines for a common cold. Those with chronic diseases need to visit their medical team while planning the journey, and they should get fully examined and carry with them a medical report of their current status. They need to get the necessary vaccinations, like influenza and meningococcal vaccines, ahead of time – at least two weeks before the Umrah. Another important point is to take enough supply of their medications and arrange a proper storage to avoid exposure of the medications to excessive heat and direct sunlight.

What if I cancel after booking?

The booking are transferable to other destinations and date but it is based on availability.
