It is a profound blessing that Allah has chosen you, as a Muslim living in San Diego, to answer the call of Umrah and stand before His sacred 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. Tarteel Travel is here to serve the Muslim community of San Diego, making that journey smooth, spiritually enriching, and filled with barakah from beginning to end.
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)
By Allah's grace, Tarteel Travel has become one of the most trusted Umrah providers for Muslims across North America. See what our travelers say on our Instagram and in our reviews.
Umrah is the lesser Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah al-Mukarramah, which can be performed at any time of year. Its essential acts are: entering Ihram (a state of sacred purity and sincere intention, declared at the Miqat), performing Tawaf (seven circuits around the Ka'bah), walking Sa'i (seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa), and completing with shaving or trimming of the hair. Many Muslims who perform Umrah describe it as a life-changing experience, a turning point in their Deen and a fresh start in their relationship with Allah.
Your Umrah journey from San Diego begins at San Diego International Airport (SAN), conveniently located just minutes from downtown. Whether you are in La Jolla, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Escondido, or National City, SAN is easily accessible by car or the Metropolitan Transit System. For the widest range of international connections, San Diego Muslims can also travel the short distance to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), approximately two hours north.
Tarteel Travel has partnered with trusted airlines including Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to provide San Diego Muslims with reliable, affordable flights to Saudi Arabia.
Tarteel Travel hand-selects premium accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah, positioning you as close to the Haramain as possible so your time in the sacred cities is spent on ibadah, not commuting. Daily breakfast is included at both properties.
Our experienced Makkah-born guides lead every group through the Umrah rituals step by step, in full accordance with the authentic Sunnah. First-time pilgrims are warmly welcomed and fully supported throughout.

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.
Tarteel Travel is founded and led by Mohamed Abu Rayan, who was born and raised in Makkah al-Mukarramah. His team of guides, all with a lifetime of experience in the Haramain, bring authentic knowledge and spiritual depth that no independent trip can replicate.
