An excellent thread ... knowledgeable and tempting

please answer my questions

if i get a visa or uae and ksa can i go on such trip with family for hajj

my concerns

-- visa for travelling purpose ... otherwise i have been to ksa twice
-- international driving license ... is the one issued from pak valid ... how much time it takes if i need one in dubai .. do they give it to visitors
-- can i rent a car for the purpose or do have to buy one ... if i'm on visit/hajj visa will thy let me buy one ..some coutries do with the condition u come back in same veh

can u sum up your travelling cost excluding the eatables ... the fuel, visas, car maint (initial) and the hotel stays .. i guess 100 riyal is a sufficent amount for per day hotel stay in ksa ... but what about uae ?

i do not afford hajj for all my famiily but have been planning since ages .. umras i've done two ... now i want to go for hajj

plus there is hajj fee .. any idea how much per person

Lots of congrats for ur umra ... anxiously waiting for the reply

An excellent thread ... knowledgeable and tempting Thanks

please answer my questions

if i get a visa or uae and ksa can i go on such trip with family for hajj

my concernscan yes if its a resident visa you can go.

-- visa for travelling purpose ... otherwise i have been to ksa twice
-- international driving license ... is the one issued from pak valid ... how much time it takes if i need one in dubai .. do they give it to visitors Not Valid in UAE, on visit visa you cant apply for a UAE licence

-- can i rent a car for the purpose or do have to buy one ... if i'm on visit/hajj visa will thy let me buy one ..some coutries do with the condition u come back in same veh You cannnot rent a car in UAE on visit visa--- but you can apply from Pakistan for a by road trip i guess.

can u sum up your travelling cost excluding the eatables ... the fuel, visas, car maint (initial) and the hotel stays .. i guess 100 riyal is a sufficent amount for per day hotel stay in ksa ... but what about uae ? Total fuel cost was 400 AED (may vary depending upon vehicle) --Visa from UAE is 300 AED/head for resident visa holders only --one oil change--- 150 Riyal is for a good hotel depending upon location & occupancy level ---

i do not afford hajj for all my famiily but have been planning since ages .. umras i've done two ... now i want to go for hajj

plus there is hajj fee .. any idea how much per person ​No idea for Haj expense as this was my first experience.

Lots of congrats for ur umra ... anxiously waiting for the reply

There were no camera at the time we were performing Umrah, all next images & videos are of next morning till late night. Tawaf you can do any time after Umrah.

ps: Camera is not allowed inside, i have seen people taking photos from mobile.
All pictures & videos are taken at my own risk. Not advising anyone with following pictures nor stopping.[/I]
