It is a profound blessing that Allah has chosen you, as a Muslim living in South Dakota, 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 Muslims across South Dakota, making that journey smooth, spiritually enriching, and filled with barakah.
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 the world. See what our travelers say on our Instagram and in our reviews.
Umrah is the lesser Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, performable at any time of year. Its essential acts are entering Ihram at the Miqat, performing Tawaf (seven circuits of the Ka'bah), walking Sa'i (seven times between Safa and Marwa), and completing with shaving or trimming the hair. Many Muslims describe Umrah as a life-changing experience and a fresh start in their relationship with Allah.
South Dakota Muslims primarily depart from Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD), the state's largest airport, with connections to major US hubs. Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP) serves the western half of the state including the Black Hills region. For the widest international connections to Saudi Arabia, Minneapolis-Saint Paul International (MSP) is approximately 4 hours from Sioux Falls and serves as the preferred international routing hub for many South Dakota Muslims. Denver International (DEN) is the natural hub for western South Dakota travelers.
Tarteel Travel has partnered with trusted airlines including Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to provide South Dakota Muslims with reliable, affordable flights to Saudi Arabia.
Tarteel Travel arranges premium 5-star accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah close to the Haramain, with daily breakfast included. Guided Ziyarah to Mount Uhud, Masjid Qubaa', and other sacred sites is included, as is the Haramain high-speed train between the holy cities.
Tarteel Travel handles the complete Saudi tourist visa process, providing a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa. All documentation is managed on your behalf so you can focus on preparing spiritually for this blessed journey.
Our 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.
How to Make the Best of Your Umrah Trip
Tarteel Travel's itineraries fly into Madinah first, meaning your Miqat is Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali), the Miqat of the people of Madinah and the furthest of all Miqat points from Makkah. Your guide will instruct you on exactly when and how to enter Ihram.
Tarteel Travel is founded and led by Mohamed Abu Rayan, born and raised in Makkah al-Mukarramah. His guides bring a lifetime of Haramain experience, authentic knowledge, and unique Sunnah-inspired experiences such as camel farm visits that no independent trip can replicate.
