Umrah & Al-Aqsa Tour 2026

30 September – 16 October 2026

A journey of worship, reflection & Islamic heritage through Makkah, Madinah, Al-Quds (Jerusalem) & Jordan — guided by Shaykh Daud Dlongolo.

The Journey

Three sacred mosques, one unforgettable journey

Join Al-Itqan Hajj & Umrah on an unforgettable spiritual journey through the blessed lands of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Al-Quds (Jerusalem). Carefully designed to combine worship, Islamic history and meaningful reflection, this premium tour offers an enriching experience under the guidance of Shaykh Daud Dlongolo.

This unique journey brings together three of Islam’s greatest acts of worship: performing Umrah at the Sacred House of Allah, offering prayers in the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, and worshipping at Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa — the first Qiblah of the Muslims and the third holiest mosque in Islam.

“Do not undertake a journey except to three mosques: Al-Masjid Al-Haram, my mosque, and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa.”
