الحمد لله I was given the ability to visit Makkah & Madinah in 2024, I purchased the K4000 package provided by Arif Hajj & Umrah through Al-Bait and I am extremely pleased with the service that Altaf Uncle and his team provided. I can honestly say that whatever was in the capability of Altaf Uncle and his team was flawless there isn’t a single thing that I can fault, with it being my first time ever travelling to Saudi Arabia I didn’t know what to expect but the team from start to finish performed wonderfully. I can not thank the team enough for what they did for me and my brother, they were very honest and went above and beyond making sure it was as smooth as possible. جزاك الله خيرًا to Altaf Uncle and his team, May Allah allow you to continue serving his guests for as long as possible.
Had the pleasure of doing Hajj this year with Altaf Arif. It was a really good experience Alhamdullilah. All the webinars and seminars were very insightful and helpful for me and my wife. The hotel in Makkah was nice and spacious for a quad room. However the hotel in Madina was bit of a let down. Food was not the best either to be honest but that’s not really the fault of this company, it was more the Saudi company that they we’re working under. Would highly recommend using this company for anyone wanting to do hajj, as I have seen other groups asking our group for help and advice as there group leaders were nowhere to be seen. Arif was my first choice and Alhamdullilah it was the right choice. He was constantly sending messages on the WhatsApp groups telling us what we needed to do before we got to the airport and constantly messaging us during the trip to keeping us updated on our tent situation in Mina and Arafat. He said before we left that in Mina and Arafat he will not be friendly due to the stress of looking after 150 or so pilgrims and we could possibly see his not so friendly side. I could safely say he was an absolute gentleman. Not only him but Nadeem Malik should also take credit too as he was our group leader and was absolutely fantastic. He was patient with us all and a good laugh too. If I could go again in the future Insha Allah I would not hesitate to go with Arif Hajj and Umrah services.
I recently had the blessing of being invited to perform Hajj with my wife. Alhamdulillah - a beautiful journey and a beautiful team to help guide us along the way. Brother Altaf, Qari saab, brother Zaheer were great throughout. We felt very supported and had a truly amazing experience. I would recommend anyone wanting to go to hajj to go with Arif Hajj and Umrah and Al bait guests.
I recently had the privilege of performing Hajj with Arif Hajj and Umrah, and I must say it was a truly life-changing experience. The guidance and support provided by brother Altaf Arif and his team were exceptional, and their knowledge and expertise in handling the logistics of the pilgrimage were impressive. From the moment we arrived in Makkah and Madinah, Arif ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to focus on the spiritual aspects of our journey. Their team was professional, courteous, and always willing to lend a helping hand. What struck me most was Arif's emphasis and Qari Khalid’s guidance on the spiritual significance of Hajj. They provided valuable insights and reminders throughout the journey, helping us to connect with the rituals and reflect on our faith. The accommodations, transportation, and meals were all of high quality, and the itinerary was well-planned to ensure that we could perform all the necessary rituals without any hassle, including the second umrah. I would highly recommend Arif Hajj and Umrah to anyone planning to perform Hajj and I would only use them again. Their expertise, care, and dedication to providing a meaningful and stress-free experience are truly commendable. May Allah reward brother Altaf Arif, Zaheer, Qari Khalid and the entire team for their excellent service and accept our Hajj. I pray that I will have the opportunity to perform these sacred rituals again with Arif's guidance.
Arif Hajj and Umrah provided the best service for Hajj 2025, from constant support and information in the lead up to Hajj including weekly seminars I felt well prepared heading into a journey of a lifetime. Throughout the journey of the hajj brother Khalid our group guide was always available and willing to help with any queries or assistance. The package provided by Arif Hajj and Umrah was delivered to an impeccable standard with the choice of high quality hotels and transportation which elevated the Hajj experience. Arif demonstrates an immense wealth of knowledge and experience throughout the trip which allows us travelers to really immerse themselves into Hajj. I would choose Arif Hajj and Umrah again
