Testimonials

It was great. When we got to makkah our rooms were ready at the Zamzamn hotel. It was very organized. Madinah was beautiful and liked the Hilton hotel very much. Menah and Arafat was way beyond my expectations, I was surprised how they furnished it. We heard about dar el salam through a family friend and im glad we listened to them. May Allah reward you guys for the hard work you have done to make our trip very smooth and convenient. The group leaders and imams were terrific and experienced.

-Ali I.

Very professional and organized. They delivered what they promised. I was stunned when I saw mena and Arafat comparing to the other companies. Accommodations in makkah were superb and madinah was great. The group leaders were very kind to us and always keep us informed with everything.

-Mohamed M.

Madinah Movenpick was a Great Hotel. I was told that Madinah hotel service is not as good as Makkah. But we were pleasantly surprised at Movenpick. We liked it very much.

-Dr. Noor S.

Dar Elsalam’s staff was delightful. The Shohadaa Hotel in Mecca was very good.

-Kahtan K., MD

I loved the whole experience, masha’Allah Dar El Salam is a great Hajj group and I would definitely go with them again. I loved the Hilton hotel in Madinah!!! I was very please with the volunteers’ hard work and kindness. All the group leaders did an excellent job. I was very pleased with the shuyukh that we had with us, they made our experience even more enjoyable. JazakumAllahu Khairan for everything!!!

-Ameera G.

The whole package was excellent. They took good care of us. Dar el Tawhid in Mecca was gret. The service was excellent.

-Dawood H.

Excellent communication on all the events (transport, what to expect etc.), representatives are always available, excellent food and better toilet facilities than regular hajj groups, they listen to the issues and tries their best to accommodate everybody’s need.

Dear Dar El Salam Management, I have not seen such organized and hospitable people than Dar El Salam in my whole life. From USA to Medina/Mecca and vice versa everything were well arranged. People were very professional and incredibly organized. AlhamdoLillah, because of Dar El Salam and the way they managed; we didn't have to worry about anything like transportation, meals and accommodations including restrooms. We absolutely concentrated on the prayers and the Manasiks of Hajj. Hope Allah accepts our efforts and blesses all of you for the fantastic jobs you have done and commit to do that. Everything was beyond our expectations!!!! I am echoing my wife Samreen too who was with me there. May Allah reward you for this effort and service you are providing to the Muslim Umma in USA.

-Sajjad S.

Mina location was fantastic. It took more time getting to and from the Jamarat then the actual stone throwing itself. Program 2 hotels in Mecca and Medina were fantastic. The locations were less than 5 minutes to the gate of the harams. The prayer room at Dar Al Tawhid Intercontinental was a well appreciated convenience. It allowed us to get the spiritual rewards of praying inside without having to step out. This was especially helpful to sick people. Food was plentiful and delicious. We are probably the only Hajis who GAIN weight during Hajj instead of losing weight. Arrangements were made to leave Mina at 2am instead of the initially proposed 6am for the farewell Tawaf. This was done to avoid traffic and to give us a chance to pray Fajr at the haram before going home. Bus 17 leader (Imam Chebli) was great, a true leader and decision maker. Buses were always on time and didn't break down. Plentiful food at the hotels especially when we first arrived in Medina and Mecca. there should be plentiful water/drinks and snack at the meetings in Mecca and Medina. We didnt have to carry our luggage anywhere and boarding/luggage check-in/transfer was taken care by Dar-El-Salam.

-Azra H.

Overall I am Very Satisfied with Dar EL Salam from the moment I came to your offices in NY and was helped immediately by Sr. Rahima and Sr. Sahar (They were most kind). Dar El-Salam provided me with the most wonderful experience throughout my Hajj. If you ask me to grade you it would be 100% satisfaction. Many thanks for providing me with such a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Dar El Salam to future Hajjes.

-Nigel J.

The price was a little bit higher than I would have liked, but the services justified it. We heard horror stories about Hajj, but Dar El Salam made sure none of them held true for us.

-Naseem H.

I will definitely want to go through your agency again. My experience was far better than I expected. Your people made it possible to make easy entry and exit to nad from Saudi Arabia. This is one of the biggest complaints I have heard that there is a long wait at the airport.

-Asif M.

Without doubt, Dar El Salam met and exceeded my expectations. The presence of the Shuyukh and notably Sh. Mongy, made this a spiritually fulfilling trip which (ISA) I will never forget. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. May Allah (swt) reward you for helping us answer His divine call. InshaAllah, my next trip will be with Dar El Salam.

-Reginald A.

I loved my Hajj. Everyone had told me that I will need patience even though I am a patient person by nature (By Allah's Grace). However, I did not need that. Everything was lovely.

-Khalida K.

Thank Allah our trip was a great and rewarding experience! InshaAllah our Hajj will be accepted by Allah. We also thank Allah on how smoothly and easily our Hajj was completed. Dar El Salam's Program 4C was first rate. We've spoken so highly of our Hajj trip (how smoothly and easily it was accomplished) that our friends are planning to join Dar El Salam next year for Hajj, if Allah willing. InshaAllah we will join your group for Umrah with our kids in the near future. All of Dar El Salam's staff were friendly and very helpfull--Sheikh Monji, Hisham, and Mustafa and the Sheikh who gave leatures in Mena and Arafat (I forgot his name); brothers Rami, Haidar, Shiraz, Alaa and the group leader from Bus No. 24 (I forgot his name--he's from Los Angeles). Great Job!!

-Dina A.

I wish to thank for a very satisfying trip. Almost all the arrangements by Dar Elsalam were excellent. Managing such a large project with such a success is remarkable. Congratulations. Jazakum-Allah!

-Siddiq A.

Arranging Hajj when there are four million people at the same place, at the same time,doing the same thing is extremely extremely difficult. What Dar el Salam was able to do in these trying circumstances, was unbelievable. No other group was able to do. If there were any problems at any time, it was understandable. Hajis should have patience. We have absolutely no complaints. God bless you all. Keep up the good job.

-Shariq A., MD

The organization of the Hajj trip was very good. I especially liked how the staff welcomed questions from us and how there was always plenty of food and drinks available wherever we went. Thank you for soliciting our comments!

-Fares A.

I sincerely believe that Dar El Salam took care of everything that was under their control. The overall experience was far better, far easier and much more fulfilling than we were expecting going in. Besides the relatively minor issue of hotel in Madinah, all the facilities and arrangements were top notch. Locations (hotels, camp) were excellent and the staff courteous and helpful.

-Sarwar R.

Absolutly the best. again, Dar el Salam did a great job in Mecca. I have been telling my family and friends about our experience in Mecca, especially the hotel and how close to the Haram we were staying. I would definently go back to Dar El Salam, without a question. Jazakum Allah Khair for everything you have done for me and my wife. I would recomend your company to all of my family, friends, and my friends at the islamic center of san antonio.

-Azhar H.

The Tent was a surprise. Every thing was provided and clean. I did not need to use my own sheets or billows I wish I knew that before we left America. For a person like me with my Allergies problem this is a very high complement to you.

-Soheir A.

Amazing Hotel Services, all aspects...Lectures were very informative, may ALLAHU (SWT) bless ALL of the Sheukh who participated.I think if you do some CLONING for brother (Sheik MONGY) it would be a great idea, may ALLAHU (SWT) bless him and his family.

-Dr. Sawsan R.

Salamu Alaikom, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for every thing you did for us during the Hajj. We enjoyed every minute of it and I would highly recommend your agency to any body that would want to make Hajj to travel with Dar Elsalam. Also I would like to thank your staff they were helpful and nice people.
I would say to every body Hajj Mabrur.

- Fozan E.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the effort put in by your travel agency to make my first spiritual experience (Umrah) a memorable one.
I have been fortunate (Mashallah) to spend the first week of Ramadan performing Umrahs. I was awestruck from the very first time I saw the holy Kaaba and every time after it. There is some magnetic force that just draws one towards it. I just simply stared at it. Even during the prayers, I could not take my eyes off it. I in fact, found a fevorite spot to pray on the main floor across the door of Kaaba. This might sound weird but I have fallen in love with my creater after seeing Kaaba. It's just strange feeling. I have sort of addiction now to Kaaba. I desire to go back for a visit at least once a year, during Ramadan insha'allah.
I would like to thank every body and May Allah bless us all.

- Rabia A.hmad

It's indeed very hard to find the appropriate words that would clearly express the great and successful trip you had provided for all your fellow brothers and sisters.
Needless to say that the whole trip from the beginning to the end covering each and every detail was just excellent.
I would like to say in short, that the pleasure you take in organizing, and all the effort put in by you and your workers is absolutely priceless.
I end this note by wishing you and every one at your office a very happy new year.

- Shahida R.

Thank you very much for arranging my omrah trip last month. I've enjoyed the stay at the acconodations which you arranged. I also throughly enjoyed the hospitality and availability of your staff who made me feel right at home.
Again I want to thank you and your corteous staff and I certainly will highly recommend your services to any friend and relative wants to go.

- Ossama O.

Thank you for every thing you did for the group. It was a wonderfull experience. My mother remember you in her prayer, as you made her Hajj possible. Insha'allah we will try again in 1995. God bless you.

- Arshad S.

I would like to thank you for all the work you and your associates have done to facilitate the hajj group for this year. Most importantly, I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding. Our group had the smoothest, least complicated arrangements, and they were all happy and satisfied.

Sahd M.
