About this guide

What this is

A free, independent guide for people performing Umrah and travelling in Makkah. It brings together the worship guidance, the travel logistics and the practical local knowledge that is otherwise scattered across a dozen sites and a hundred forum posts.

There is no account, no sign-up, no tracking, and nothing you enter leaves your phone.

How the search works

This site has no server and uses no paid data services. When you search for a flight, a restaurant or today's Hateem timing, it doesn't fetch results — it builds a precise search query from what you entered and opens it on Google, Google Maps, or the operator's own site in a new tab.

That is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation to apologise for. It means the information you land on is live and correct, rather than a copy that quietly went out of date six months ago. Prices, timetables and announcements change constantly in Makkah; a static page pretending otherwise would be worse than useless.

What works offline

Mobile data around the Haram is unreliable at peak times. Once you've opened the site, these keep working with no signal:

• All the worship guidance, zikr, ziyarat and essentials pages
• The Tawaf and Sa'i counter
• Prayer times, the Qibla direction and the Hijri converter — all calculated on your device
• Your packing checklist, gate note and saved contacts

The outbound searches obviously need a connection, since they open other websites.

What this is not

• Not an official channel of the Saudi government, the General Presidency, Nusuk, or any mosque authority
• Not a travel agency — nothing here is sold, booked or guaranteed
• Not a source of fatwas; all religious content is general and should be verified with a qualified scholar
• Not a live timetable for prayer, rail, coach or Hateem access

There are reserved advertising placements across the site — on the home page, and within the travel, food, shopping, ziyarat and guidance pages. They suit:

• Umrah tour operators and travel agencies
• Hotels near the Haram
• Restaurants and catering
• Transport companies, private drivers and ziyarat tours
• Date sellers, gift shops and Islamic retailers

Nothing intrusive, nothing that interrupts worship content, and no pop-ups. Get in touch for placement and rates.

Corrections are especially welcome. If a price range is wrong, a route has changed, or something here is religiously inaccurate, please say so — the whole point is that it stays reliable.

Please don't send questions of fiqh — this site can't answer them, and you'll get a better answer from a scholar.

• No account, no login, no newsletter.
• Your counters, checklist, gate note and contacts are stored in your own browser and never sent anywhere. Clearing your browser data removes them.
• Location is only requested when you tap a button that needs it, is used to build the map search, and is not stored or transmitted by this site.
• Links to Google, booking sites, operators and delivery apps take you to third parties with their own privacy policies and tracking.

If you add analytics or advertising scripts to this site, update this section to reflect that honestly.
