It is a profound blessing that Allah has chosen you, as a Muslim living in New York, to stand before His House. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that the people who come for Umrah and Hajj are the guests of Allah. He invited them, and they responded. Of the billions of Muslims across the earth, you have been honored with that invitation. Tarteel Travel is here to make that blessed journey smooth, spiritually enriching, and truly transformative. It is a genuine opportunity to renew your Iman and deepen your Taqwa.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "(The performance of) Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1773)

Umrah is the lesser pilgrimage to Makkah, which a Muslim can perform at any time of year (unlike Hajj, which is restricted to specific days). It involves entering the state of Ihram (a sacred state of purity and intention), performing Tawaf (circling the Ka'bah seven times), walking Sa'i (seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa), and shaving or cutting the hair. While Umrah is not obligatory, it is a deeply beloved Sunnah and a means of immense spiritual reward and purification.
As a Muslim based in New York, your Umrah journey begins at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), one of the world's busiest and best-connected airports. Whether you're in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, or Staten Island, JFK is typically just 20-40 minutes away by car.
Tarteel Travel has partnered with trusted carriers including Qatar Airways and EgyptAir to offer reliable, cost-effective flights from JFK to Saudi Arabia. Thanks to our exclusive airline partnerships, we can provide competitive pricing without compromising comfort or convenience.
Your accommodations have been hand-selected to place you close to the Haramain (the Two Holy Mosques), ensuring maximum time for ibadah (worship). Premium accommodation options are included in both Makkah and Madinah, with breakfast provided daily.
Our expert guides, who have lived in Makkah their entire lives, will lead you through every step of the Umrah rituals in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). First-timers are warmly welcome; no prior experience is necessary.
How to Make the Best of Your Umrah Trip
Alhamdulillaah, obtaining a Saudi Arabia visa has become significantly easier for Muslims in the United States. Through Tarteel Travel, you receive a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa. This means you can visit the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah more than once within a single year.
This is especially valuable for New York Muslims who wish to make multiple Umrahs or explore the rich Islamic heritage of Saudi Arabia. Tarteel Travel handles all documentation on your behalf, so you can focus entirely on your spiritual preparation, not paperwork.

The Miqat is the sacred boundary designated by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) at which every Umrah pilgrim must enter the state of Ihram before proceeding toward Makkah. Tarteel Travel's itineraries fly into Madinah first, which means your Miqat is Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali). This is the Miqat of the people of Madinah, and the furthest of all the Miqat points from Makkah. Your Tarteel Travel guide will instruct you on exactly when and how to enter Ihram before leaving Madinah for Makkah.
