A Sacred Trust, Carried for Twenty Years
Yusrah Travels and Tours began in Hyattsville, Maryland in 2006 with one mission: making the sacred journey accessible, spiritually enriching, and seamlessly organized for every pilgrim who trusts us.
Our founder, an Imam and Islamic scholar who began his studies at the age of five, built the agency around guidance first. Today the business is led by our CEO, Olalekan Jamiu Salami, and has organized more than 2,000 Hajj and Umrah journeys.
We serve families from Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia, across the United States, and in Nigeria and West Africa, with departures from Washington Dulles and Lagos. Visas, flights, hotels near the Haram, tents in Mina and Arafat, and ground transport are all handled by our own team.
Yusrah means ease. Our work is to take the weight of planning off your shoulders, so the journey belongs to your worship.
Our Values
Imam-Led Guidance
Our founder is an Imam and Islamic scholar with more than 50 years of study. Every group travels with guidance at each rite, from Ihram to the final Tawaf.
Steps from the Haram
We partner with 3 to 5-star hotels in Makkah and Madinah, as close as 0.1 km from the Haram, so more of your time goes to prayer.
Licensed and Trusted
An IATA-licensed agency since 2006. Flights, visas, hotels and transport are booked by our own office, and more than 2,000 pilgrims have traveled with us.
Community First
A family business rooted in the DMV Muslim community, with multilingual support and the patience to answer every question before you fly.
