First (is it?) |
| GO4 Hajj & Umrah Tours -
Programs |
Others |
Difference in Value |
| Our Madinah First Programs go direct from
London straight to Madinah. They do not land
in Jeddah |
Others offer Madinah first, but they actually
land you in Jeddah first before they fly you
to Madinah (long layover and annoying) |

Others |
Difference in Value |
| We allow children under age 8 to accompany
their parents to Hajj, but we strongly discouraged
it for the children's safety. |
Others allow any child to go without regard
to their safety - They simply don't want to
lose the sale |

# People
Per Room |
| GO4 Hajj & Umrah Tours - Programs |
Others |
Difference in Value |
| 3 or 2 Per Room Our number of people per
room is fixed. When we say 3 per room, it
means 3, not 4 or 5 or more. |
Other Hajj providers place more people per
room than they advertise. The only answer
they give you is.. "This is Hajj..everything
is like this brother..!" |

0-1 minute walk to the Haram in Makkah and
2-3 minute walk in Madinah giving you a lot
more time for worship and Ibadah. |
Others advertise their hotels to be within
say 100 meters or less, but in reality it
is more like 500 meters or more. |

Distance
of Private A/C Tents in Minah from Jamarat
|
| GO4 Hajj & Umrah Tours - Programs |
Others |
Difference in Value |
| Private Camp only 100-120 meters from Jamarat
(3-4 minute walk). You can go throw your pebbles
and head back to your tents before people
in the European camp have even reached 1/4
way towards Jamarat. |
Tents are in the European Camp more than
3.5 kilometers away from Jamarat and you have
to walk the whole distance. You will be very
tired by the time you get there and there
is no transportation to get you there. Not
to mention you could get lost very easily. |

| In Super Deluxe Air-Conditioned Buses that
are dedicated to our Groups throughout the
trip from Madinah to Mina & Arafat and
all the way to Jeddah.. During your stay in
Mina, we will be providing transportation
to Al-Haram in our A/C Buses for Tawaf Al-Ifadah
on "Eid" Day (10th Thul-Hijjah)
and on 12th Thul-Hijjah for Farewell Tawaf
before departure to Jeddah. |
Others offer you Standard Government Buses
that drop you off in Mina and leave. Talk
about Headache and Anxiety! You also have
to go to Haram on your own for Tawaf Al-Ifadah
(on Eid Day) and again for Farewell Tawaf
on the last day (Basically you will have to
suffer until you find some transportation
heading to Haram among crowds of thousands
of people who are trying to do the same -
Good Luck!) |
