Our Story

Built from 30 Years of Serving the Pilgrimage Community

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.

"When travel to Saudi Arabia reopened after COVID-19, the demand was unlike anything seen before. Pilgrims who had been unable to travel for years returned in their millions — and the problems with ground transport were worse than ever."

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.

We believe every checkpoint of your journey — from arrivals to hotel check-in — should feel seamless, warm, and worthy of the occasion that brought you here.

In 2025, Saudi Arabia introduced sweeping reforms to the transport industry. It is now mandatory for all Umrah visa applications to include confirmed licensed transport — meaning unregistered and unlicensed vehicles can no longer be used to transport pilgrims.

Every BookSaudia driver is fully vetted, professionally trained, and licensed in compliance with Saudi government requirements. Every vehicle on our platform is registered, roadworthy, and meets the transport standards set by the Saudi Transport General Authority.

Fully Saudi Government Compliant

Registered in Makkah. Licensed drivers. Compliant with 2025 Umrah transport regulations from day one.
