Questions

Are the museum visits really included in the package?

Yes. Both museum visits are included in your package price, alongside your visa, flights, hotels and transport. There is nothing extra to pay for them.

Are the museum visits the same as Ziyarah?

No. The museum visits are separate from Ziyarah. Ziyarah covers different sites and remains an optional paid extra that you can add to any package.

Can I do the Makkah visit on a Friday or Saturday?

No. The Exhibition of the Two Holy Mosques Architecture is open Sunday to Thursday only and is closed on Friday and Saturday, so we arrange that visit on one of those days.

Will I get a guide?

We do not promise a guide for either museum visit. Your consultant will tell you what to expect on your dates.

What if a museum is closed or my visit cannot go ahead?

Museum visits depend on venue opening times and availability. The Makkah visit runs Sunday to Thursday. Your consultant will explain what happens in that case when they confirm your itinerary.

When will my visit days and times be confirmed?

Once your travel dates are confirmed, our team books both visits and the transport for the Makkah visit, and shows them by name on your itinerary.
