⭐️ 1 Star – Daylight Robbery. Avoid at All Costs
I booked a 10-day Umrah package with Al Aswad Travels, consisting of 6 days in Makkah and 4 days in Madinah. Unfortunately, this company failed to deliver the services promised and demonstrated a serious lack of responsibility.
Firstly, we were charged a premium for Umrah visas, however we were later issued tourist visas instead. Despite this discrepancy, the company demanded additional payment, despite having already taken a substantial amount from us.
The accommodation in Makkah was satisfactory, but upon arrival in Madinah, the situation deteriorated significantly. We were explicitly promised a 4-star hotel, yet without prior notice or consent, we were transferred to accommodation of an extremely poor standard, wholly inconsistent with what was sold to us.
The conditions of this hotel were unhygienic and unfit for occupancy. As a direct result, multiple members of our group fell ill, and our infant required hospitalisation. Due to the severity of the conditions, we were unable to remain at the hotel and were forced to secure alternative accommodation at our own expense.
Despite repeatedly informing Al Aswad Travels of the situation, including the medical emergency involving our baby, the company refused to accept any responsibility, offered no assistance, and declined reimbursement, effectively abandoning us in Madinah after full payment had already been taken.
Additionally, during communication with one of their agents, an entirely inappropriate and distressing religious remark was made, stating that our Umrah would “not be accepted by Allah,” after which the call was abruptly terminated. Such conduct is wholly unprofessional and unacceptable.
Based on this experience, I believe Al Aswad Travels engaged in misrepresentation of services, failure to meet contractual obligations, and neglect of duty of care. I would strongly advise others to exercise extreme caution before booking with this company.
