Total Cost of the Holiday or Visit:
Do consult the travel agent regarding their refund policy. An unforeseen event may lead to
cancellation of your trip or holiday. If this happens, it always helps if you can get the
money back.
Traveling with Family:
If you are traveling to Saudi Arabia with spouse and children, the travel insurance must
cover them. Therefore, it always helps to be informed before starting your journey and buy
the right travel insurance package.

If a omani husband is going for umrah with his non-Omani/ Pakistani wife who is also a resident of Oman, do they need to obatin a visa for her? If so, is the Visa available on arrival? Or can it be obatained from the embassy here in Muscat? How long would it take? Really appreciate the reply. Thanks

RASHMI NIMESH MEHTA
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, My name is Ms. Rashmi N. Mehta, and I have been residing in Muscat since 2015 as an investor. I operate a company under the trading name Rashmi Enterprises SPC, located in Mabella, Muscat. In 2023, we performed Umrah with Avenues Travel by road, and this year we are planning to do so again, Insha'Allah. Last time, they arranged a complete package for us, but this time, they have requested that we apply for our Saudi visa ourselves. As Tanzanian citizens, we are not eligible to apply for the visa online and must apply through the nearest Saudi Arabian embassy. Our departure is scheduled for March 20, flying from Muscat to Saudi Arabia, and we will return on April 5, from Saudi Arabia to Muscat. I appreciate your kind consideration and am available for any further clarifications you may require. My local GSM contact number is +968 93362044. Mabella, Muscat
