May Allah swt bless you dear sister for these beautiful ummrah videos ! My husband and I will be going to Ummrah for the first time next week. We are also from Canada. It turns out my husband had booked the same two hotels you booked ! What a coincidence ! May Allah swt bless you & your family & give you lots of Ajar for recording, editing & uploading these heart felt videos, Allahoma Ameen 🤲🤲🤲💜💜💜
Aww this made me so happy! JazakAllah for the sweet comment. May Allah make Umrah easy for you & accept all your ibadat. Please do remember my family & I in your Duas. May Allah call us back to his beloved house soon insha’Allah 🥰
I know right?! The feeling after returning is something that you just can't explain. May Allah call us back to his beloved home over and over again insha'Allah!
Thank you for the checking out information regarding the taxi license plate and having to send a pic of it to the front desk. What was the process when checking in?
For check in, the security lets you enter the parking without stopping you. Once you reach your hotel parking, you give your bags to concierge and they give you a tag (For the bags) and then you go up to reception. Once reception gives you a room, you tell that to the concierge desk which is right in front of reception and they bring your bags up. Hope that helps :)
Very good Umrah vlogs you have made specifically with two kids. It's not easy at all and I have never heard commentary by a Pakistani woman with great fluency repeat very fluent and in easy ways. Congratulations on this beautiful journey, I have also visited Saudia three times with family for this purpose lastly in August 2023. May Almighty Allah give all of us opportunities like this many many more time. 🎉
We would usually enter from Gate 3 and as soon as you enter you see the escalators to go down to the mataf area to the left and they would have a little area open straight ahead to enter the upper floor directly. I have shown it in the video as well at the 7-7:30 minute mark. Hope that helps :)
We found that the best time to perform Umrah in general was between 1-2 am at night. Crowd was considerably less. Also for Sa’i, you can go to the upper floor and it is much less crowded there. I’ve shown it in my previous vlogs. Hope that helps :)
Assalomu alaikum! I would like to ask you one question. I am planning to go to Umrah and I am getting Saudi multi entry visa for one year. but i heard that i need to get Umrah permit too, is it true?
You can book your umrah permit through the Nusuk app. It’s better to have it. In our experience it was never checked but still book it to be on the safe side. ☺️
Saudi tourist visa allows you to perform Umrah, no separate Umrah visa is required. This is for citizens and legal residents of US, UK, Canada, Australia and NZ. May be some other countries as well. It's mentioned on Saudi government website.
Is there any particular reason you choose Medina first then to Makkah , Just thinking if we choose Makkah first we will have more energy and focus to do more umrah then to Medina so that we can choose and prioritize the places to visit and omit the optional ones to save energy so that travel back to US / Canada , Could you share your itenary and thinking of umrah soon with kids from US , just trying to get real time experiences and ideas …
We chose to go to Madina first so that we could get over jet lag and then be well rested for Umrah. Since Madina is calmer in routine, we thought that would be a better first destination. During this trip we stayed in Madina for 2 days and Mecca 3 days. We found this schedule good for us. Hopefully that helps :)
In the Nusuk app, you can register for the umrah permit which is easily available. However, I think due to the rush they don’t check as often. Whenever we went there, no one checked our permits.
You no longer need any app or umrah permit but for men, they must be in ihram if they want to do umrah in mataaf area. I just came back from umrah in Aug

Jazakallaahu khayran habibti i enjoyed all of your videos 😊, great information ❤. May Allaah accept your prayers Ameen
11:00 is the reason why the return flight should be from Madinah as the zam zam is allowed from Medinah regardless of visa type.
That's a helpful tip, we will keep this in mind next time Insha'Allah. Thank you :)

*especially with two kids
JazakAllah for the kind words! Your appreciation truly means a lot. Please remember us in your Duas ☺️
Salam , absolutely loved all of your umrah related videos I’ve learnt quite a lot. Also may I ask what month you went in ?
JazakAllah! I’m glad you found the videos helpful ☺️ we went in February 2023
❤❤
What gate did you enter from to access the upper floor directly? If you can guide im also in swissotel makkah. جزاک اللہ خیر
We would usually enter from Gate 3 and as soon as you enter you see the escalators to go down to the mataf area to the left and they would have a little area open straight ahead to enter the upper floor directly. I have shown it in the video as well at the 7-7:30 minute mark. Hope that helps :)
At what time the rush is less sister. I mean early Mrng is less rush for doing thawaf
We found that the best time to perform Umrah in general was between 1-2 am at night. Crowd was considerably less. Also for Sa’i, you can go to the upper floor and it is much less crowded there. I’ve shown it in my previous vlogs. Hope that helps :)
Salaam sis did you have to book umrah slots via Nusuk app to do umrah or was that only for rawdah in madina?
Yes we booked umrah through the Nusuk app and also the rawdah appointment. ☺️
@@khanlifestyle94 do you need to book it for umrah?
Aslam o Alaikum sister, does Swissotel has laundry or we would have to go outside?
Yes Swissotel does provide laundry service daily throughout the week ☺️
No doubt its too hard to say farewell to both sacred cities,may Allah give us all the chance to visit Makkah and Madinah again and again Aameen
Yes it makes you emotional just thinking about leaving. Ameen! May Allah accept all our naik and jaiz Duas. JazakAllah for watching 🥰

Places to must visit in madeena ,for a three day iternary other than Riyas ul Jannah !
R u allowed to wear new/clean sandals while doing sai
I’m not sure about this. This is something you should confirm with a scholar. Most people there including us were not wearing sandals/shoes.
I had the very same question Subhannallaah, I forgot what I did the first time😢
Volume back I mean hk❤❤😂
Sister, how many days and nights you stayed in total?
This was a short trip for us about a week long. 3 days in Medina and 3 days in Mecca ☺️
Hi is it true that to enter the ground floor you need an app im confused they wont allow you inn without it
In the Nusuk app, you can register for the umrah permit which is easily available. However, I think due to the rush they don’t check as often. Whenever we went there, no one checked our permits.
@khanlifestyle94 so is there a person there that checks it or as.long as you have the tradional clothes you can enter
You no longer need any app or umrah permit but for men, they must be in ihram if they want to do umrah in mataaf area. I just came back from umrah in Aug
Sjjsjdjd
Rr😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Are strollers allowed during saayee?
Yes, strollers and wheelchairs are allowed during sai’
