01 Prepare

Everything ready before you fly.

Your trip, your packing and your first days in one place. Tick things off as you pack, and see exactly what comes next when you land.

  • Stays, flights and pickups in your My Trip hub, with a day-by-day plan
  • A packing checklist with quantities, and your progress at a glance
  • The trip assistant can draft plans for you to review and accept, using AI credits
AI helps organise travel. It does not give religious rulings. During the invite-only pilot it is open to pilot places only. Trip organisation

02 Perform

More than a counter. A companion at each stage.

Entering the mosque, Tawaf, the prayers after Tawaf, Zamzam, Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, and shaving or trimming, with progress you confirm yourself.

  • Seven rounds make one Tawaf; Sa’i counts seven one-way legs
  • Undo the last tap while the counter is open; Home reopens the counter where you left it
  • Duas for each step of Umrah and each place in Madinah, in Arabic with transliteration and English meaning
Completing Tawaf is one part of Umrah, not the end of it. The whole Umrah journey

Stage 2, arriving and entering the mosque: a numbered step with its dua in transliteration and English meaning, and the guide it comes from
From the app · sourced guidance, not yet reviewed
The step instructions come from two published guides that follow the Hanbali approach, Shaykh al‑‘Uthaymeen’s and a second Hanbali guide, each named with its school. Guidance for the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi‘i schools is being added from published sources and will be reviewed.

03 Stay together

Together, on your terms.

Create a private group for your family or friends. Share only what you choose, compare Tawaf rounds or daily steps, and stop whenever you like. With a trip pass, share your location only with the people you name, for a time you choose.

  • Share each count separately, by choice: Tawafs, rounds or steps
  • Group results are counts people recorded, never a measure of worship
  • The trip pass, with the live group map, meeting points and check-ins, is not on sale yet
Organising or paying for a group never gives access to anyone’s location. On iPhone, steps come from Apple Health, only after you allow it; if you don’t, the app shows no steps. Steps on Android, through Health Connect, are planned. Groups and privacy

04 Explore

Make space for Madinah.

Plan your visits to the Prophet’s Mosque, Rawdah, Quba, Uhud and Al-Baqi, with the time, meeting point and a reminder for each, and the duas for each place.

  • A separate visit, never a step of Umrah
  • How to book each place: a Nusuk permit for the Rawdah, none needed for the others
  • Prayer times for Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah
Rawdah permits come from Nusuk; the app never books or guarantees an appointment. Madinah
The Madinah guide: five places, which need booking, and three visits planned on the trip

Place details name their sources.
Prayer times for Makkah: the next prayer, tomorrow’s Fajr, and the day’s start times, noted as start times and not iqamah
From the app · example data
Free core. The app shows start times only, never iqamah times.

Two cities. One familiar companion.

Each step, with intention.

Preparation, sourced guidance and progress you confirm, through the complete Umrah, not just Tawaf.

A little space for Madinah.

A separate visit, not a step of Umrah.

Visit planning, sourced place details and how to book, for the Prophet’s Mosque, Rawdah, Quba, Uhud and Al-Baqi.

In the app, city themes can change automatically if you turn on location-based switching, and you can always choose manually. This website never asks for your location.

Care in the details

Useful technology. Clear boundaries.

Sources before shortcuts

Every text names its source. You choose your school and how its guidance is shown; guidance for each school is being added from published sources.

Sharing stays your choice

Choose who can see your location and stop sharing whenever you wish. Paying for or organising a group never grants access to anyone’s location.

You confirm your progress

Manual counting always works. Any location-assisted suggestion needs testing and your confirmation; GPS cannot certify an act of worship.

Practical AI, with limits

The optional trip assistant drafts practical plans for you to review. It does not answer religious questions, and children cannot send it requests.

A few things to know

Before you begin.

Is Darb Umrah available to download?

Not yet. Darb Umrah is in an invite-only pilot and is not in the App Store or Google Play. It is in development for iPhone, Android and the web. Links to the App Store and Google Play will appear here only once the listings are live.

What works without internet?

Downloaded guidance and duas, your ritual progress and saved trip essentials (some duas have recordings you can download). Maps and directions, location sharing and AI need a connection. Offline navigation is not a launch feature.

Do I need to pay to follow Umrah?

No. The full journey, manual Tawaf and Sa’i counting, downloaded guidance, daily prayer times, trips and day-by-day planning are planned as free essentials. The optional AI trip assistant uses AI credits, and every new adult account gets 10 free.

Has the guidance been reviewed by scholars?

Not yet. Every text names its source. The step instructions come from two published guides that follow the Hanbali approach, Shaykh al‑‘Uthaymeen’s and a second Hanbali guide, each named with its school. Guidance for the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi‘i schools is being added from published sources and will be reviewed.
