Everything you need to know about Holidays packages, booking, and travel requirements
Q. Do I have to pay for accommodation during my Saudi stopover?
It depends on your booking. A complimentary one-night hotel stay is not guaranteed under the current 2026 policy. Some Saudia stopover bookings may include a free hotel stay as a promotional offer, subject to availability and the airline's terms. Otherwise, you will need to book and pay for your own accommodation.
Q. Is Qurbani compulsory during Hajj?
Yes, Qurbani (animal sacrifice) is required for most pilgrims performing Hajj Tamattu and Hajj Qiran.
Q. Can I apply for a Saudi Transit/Stopover Visa if I am traveling for a holiday or business?
Yes. If Saudi Arabia is a stop on your journey to another country, you can apply for a Saudi Transit/Stopover Visa. You can stay in Saudi Arabia for up to 96 hours (4 days) and use this time for tourism, business meetings, or Umrah (with a valid Umrah permit). This visa cannot be used for Hajj.
Q. What are the main pillars (Arkan) of Umrah?
The two main pillars of Umrah are Tawaf (circling the Holy Kaaba seven times) and Sa'i (walking between Safa and Marwah seven times). These rituals are essential for completing your Umrah.
Q. Can children apply for an Umrah Visa?
Yes. Children can apply for an Umrah Visa, but they must travel with a parent or legal guardian and meet all Saudi travel requirements.
