London, UK - As demand for Umrah and Hajj bookings grows, AL Islam Travels, a London agency based in East Ham, is encouraging UK pilgrims to compare quotes carefully before paying a deposit.

The agency says many pilgrims focus on the headline price and miss the details. Two packages that look similar can differ in hotel location, flight type, transfers and meals. Pilgrims are advised to ask for a written quote that names every hotel and lists every inclusion.

A simple checklist can help. Pilgrims should ask for the company's ATOL number and check it independently, confirm the business is registered with Companies House, and avoid any seller that asks for full payment before issuing a booking confirmation. They should also ask about the walking distance from the hotel to the Haram, since this affects comfort, especially for older travellers and families with children.

AL Islam Travels offers Umrah packages from economy to 5 star level and Hajj options including shifting and non-shifting plans. The team supports travellers with visa guidance, flights, hotels, airport transfers and guided Ziyarat visits in Makkah and Madinah.

Pilgrims planning for Hajj 2027 are advised to start early, compare at least three written quotes and keep copies of all booking documents.
