E-Visa Services And Tailored Options: MakeMyTrip Launches One-Stop Solution For Umrah Travellers From UAE

MakeMyTrip has unveiled a meticulously crafted solution for those planning to undertake Umrah. This initiative includes the introduction of an Umrah eVisa service, established through a collaboration with Umrahme, aimed at streamlining the visa process for pilgrims.

To further support the religious journey, MakeMyTrip has curated a selection of flights and hotels specifically for travellers heading to Makkah and Madinah. For those in the UAE, a simple search for flights to Jeddah or Taif on the platform will direct users to a specialized page that caters to the needs of Umrah pilgrims.

This new service offers several advantages over the conventional tourist visa, including a 90-day single-entry permit complemented by medical insurance, primary healthcare services, and prioritized emergency care at government facilities.

The initiative is designed to make the pilgrimage more accessible and enriching by offering a selection of recommended accommodations, tips for first-timers, and suggestions for local experiences and must-visit sites. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the overall experience for those undertaking this spiritual journey.

Saujanya Shrivastava, Chief Operating Officer - Flights, Holidays & Gulf at MakeMyTrip, shared his gratitude towards the support from travelers in the UAE and emphasized the company's dedication to innovation. "Our focus remains on innovating for residents, enhancing their travel experience with tailored offerings. The launch of Umrah-led travel solutions follows the successful introduction of the Arabic language on our Android and iOS apps, making MakeMyTrip even more accessible for Arabic-speaking users."

Manvendra Roy, Co-founder and CCO of Umrahme, highlighted the benefits of their partnership with MakeMyTrip. "At Umrahme, we are committed to leveraging technology to simplify and enhance the entire Umrah experience. Our partnership with MakeMyTrip to deliver Umrah services is a testament to our proactive approach in providing innovative, customer-centric solutions.

"These services ensure a seamless journey, offering pilgrims a smooth and enriching experience. We are proud to provide a platform that blends convenience, security, and cutting-edge technology to meet the unique needs of every traveler."
