Your Umrah trip in riyals — and how much to save each week until you travel
Pilgrims and nights, tickets, hotel and meals. You see the total and the weekly deposit, and an Excel file with the checklist and the Ministry's reminders. No sign-up.
Want a reminder on each deposit day until you travel?
The calendar file works without an account. The reminder needs a free account so we know where to send it.- Book the permit in Nusuk and the hotel, then put aside the weekly deposit.
- Print the checklist and tick items as you pack.
- Read the Ministry's reminders: banned items in the Grand Mosque and gate numbers.
Your amounts: the examples are not official prices. Equal deposits each week from today until the week before you travel; the last one adjusts. A practical checklist; rulings come from the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
