BookSaudia is a product of AR Travel & Tours Ltd — a travel operator with over 30 years of experience serving the international travel and pilgrimage community worldwide. With three decades of arranging Umrah packages, flights, and travel services for customers across the globe, the team behind AR Travel saw the same problem repeated by thousands of travellers.
Pilgrims who had saved for years to perform Umrah — one of the most sacred acts in Islam — were arriving at Jeddah Airport exhausted and vulnerable, navigating unregulated taxis, haggling over prices, and travelling in vehicles that fell far short of what the journey deserved. Tourists, families and business travellers faced the same uncertainty.
"The reopening of Saudi Arabia after COVID-19 brought millions of pilgrims back to the land they had longed to visit. It was this moment — witnessing the scale of the journey and the depth of its meaning — that gave birth to BookSaudia. A platform built with purpose. Built for pilgrims. Built to ensure that every transfer, every tour and every mile travelled across the Kingdom is handled with the care and excellence it deserves."
It was at this moment that the decision was made. Rather than watch the same problem continue, we built BookSaudia — a platform created specifically to solve it. Not as a generic transport app, but as a platform built with purpose: for the pilgrim stepping off a flight in the direction of the Kaaba, for the family making the journey of a lifetime, for the business traveller who demands reliability, and for every visitor to Saudi Arabia who deserves to arrive with peace of mind — not stress.
From the moment you land, BookSaudia is with you. Our professional meet and greet service ensures that every customer is welcomed at the airport by a smartly presented driver holding a personalised name board — no waiting, no searching, no uncertainty. Whether it is your first visit to the Holy Land or your tenth, that first moment of being received with care and professionalism sets the tone for everything that follows.
