From the Pacific Coast of British Columbia to the shores of Makkah al-Mukarramah. The journey of Umrah begins the moment Allah places its longing in your heart. The Prophet (ﷺ) described those who come for Umrah and Hajj as the guests of Allah. As His guest, you are under His care and generosity. Tarteel Travel is here to serve the Muslim community of Vancouver, turning that longing into a reality that is spiritually transformative, practically seamless, and filled with barakah (blessing) at every step.
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 Canada. You can see the experiences of our travelers on our Instagram and in our reviews.
Umrah is the lesser Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, performable at any time of year. Its four essential acts are: declaring Ihram (entering a state of sacred purity and sincere intention at the designated 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. Though not obligatory, it is a deeply beloved Sunnah and a profound source of spiritual purification and reward.
Your Umrah journey from Vancouver begins at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), one of Canada's busiest and best-connected international airports. Whether you're based in Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, or downtown Vancouver, YVR is accessible by car, SkyTrain, or public bus.
Tarteel Travel has partnered with trusted airlines including Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to provide Vancouver Muslims with reliable and affordable flight connections to Saudi Arabia. Our exclusive deals ensure competitive pricing while maintaining a high standard of travel comfort.
Your accommodations in both Makkah and Madinah are carefully selected to position you as close to the sacred mosques as possible, enabling maximum time for prayer, reflection, and ibadah. Daily breakfast is included at both properties.
Our experienced guides, born and raised in Makkah, lead each group through the Umrah rituals step by step, in full accordance with the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم). First-timers are warmly welcomed and will be guided with patience and care.
How to Make the Best of Your Umrah Trip
Alhamdulillaah, Saudi Arabia visa access for Canadian Muslims has improved significantly in recent years. Through Tarteel Travel, Vancouver Muslims receive a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa, enabling multiple visits to the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah within a single year.

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.
Tarteel Travel is founded and led by Mohamed Abu Rayan, who was born and raised in Makkah. His team of guides, brothers who share that same lifetime of connection to the Haramain, bring a depth of knowledge, spiritual grounding, and insider access that is simply not available to independent travelers.
If you are a Muslim from Vancouver who has been longing to perform Umrah, إن شاء الله the moment has arrived. Tarteel Travel is dedicated to guiding the Vancouver Muslim community from the shores of British Columbia to the sacred House of Allah and back, with Iman renewed and Taqwa strengthened.
