Assalamu Alaikum from Kampala

A pilgrimage is the journey of a lifetime. Our task is to carry every worry but yours. وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلّٰهِ

Khiblatain Hajj & Umrah is a Ugandan-owned, Saudi-licensed travel house dedicated to a single purpose: helping the believers of East Africa answer the call to the House of Allah with dignity and ease.

From our office in Kampala we handle the full journey — Nusuk and Hajj visas, flights from Entebbe, hotels within walking distance of the Haram, ground transfers, meals, and learned group leaders who guide you through every rite according to the Sunnah.

Whether it is your first Umrah or your long-awaited Hajj, you travel with a guide who knows the way and speaks your language.

Before you go

Questions, answered

What is the difference between Hajj and Umrah?
Umrah is the "lesser pilgrimage" and can be performed at any time of year. Hajj is the major pilgrimage, performed only during specific days of Dhul-Hijjah, and is obligatory once in a lifetime for those who are able. Hajj includes additional rites at Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina.
What documents do I need to travel from Uganda?
You'll need a passport valid for at least six months, passport photos, and proof of meningitis (ACWY) vaccination. We handle the Umrah or Hajj visa application through the official Saudi channels — you simply provide the documents and we do the rest.
Are flights from Entebbe included in the package price?
Yes. All our standard packages include return flights from Entebbe to Saudi Arabia, along with airport and inter-city transfers. If you prefer to arrange your own flights, we also offer land-and-services-only pricing.
Do the historical-site visits cost extra?
Group ziyarah tours in both Makkah and Madinah are included in every package. Private, small-group ziyarah is included in the premium tier and available as an add-on for others.
Can you arrange travel for elderly or less-mobile pilgrims?
Absolutely. We arrange ground-floor or near-lift rooms close to the Haram, wheelchair assistance at airports and the holy sites, and slower-paced itineraries. Tell us your needs and we'll plan around them.
How do I reserve a place for Hajj?
Hajj seats are limited by the quota Saudi Arabia allocates to Uganda each year, so demand is high. Join our Hajj waiting list through the contact form and we'll notify you the moment the season's packages open, in order of registration.
