+1 (587) 287 1191Umrah + Explore Saudi Arabia (and Onward Travel from Canada)
By FondTravels.ca · Updated August 20, 2026
For most Canadian travellers, Umrah is the reason to fly to Saudi Arabia — but it no longer has to be the whole trip. With Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 opening the Kingdom to tourism, you can now perform your Umrah and explore the country's heritage, coastline and modern attractions on the same journey — and many of our clients add an onward stop in India, Pakistan or elsewhere in Asia before flying home. Here's how to plan it, all priced in CAD with no hidden fees.
Step 1: Your Umrah in Makkah & Madinah
The heart of the trip. A Fond Travels Umrah package covers your return flights, the Umrah visa, hotels near the Haram in Makkah and Madinah, transfers, and Ziyarat. We arrange Umrah from Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver and other Canadian cities. See our full guide to booking Umrah from Canada.
Step 2: Explore Saudi Arabia (Visit Saudi)
Once your pilgrimage is complete, the Kingdom has far more to see — and a tourist eVisa makes it easy to extend your stay. Highlights worth adding:
- AlUla — Saudi's crown jewel of heritage tourism (Hegra's ancient Nabataean tombs, dramatic desert landscapes). Recently recognized as a world-leading cultural destination.
- Jeddah — the historic Red Sea gateway; explore Al-Balad (Old Jeddah, a UNESCO site) and the corniche.
- The Red Sea coast — beaches, diving and new luxury resorts.
- Riyadh & Diriyah — the capital's modern side plus the birthplace of the Saudi state, with new dining, culture and family attractions.
- Taif & the mountains — a cooler, scenic escape known for its roses.
We can bundle these as guided add-ons or a private itinerary after your Umrah — you decide how much to add.
Step 3: Onward travel — Pakistan, India & Asia
This is where a good travel agent saves you real money. Many of our clients continue from Saudi Arabia to visit family in Pakistan (Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi), India (Delhi, Amritsar, Mumbai) or elsewhere in Asia — and then fly home to Canada, the US or Europe. Instead of booking three separate one-way tickets, we build a single multi-city itinerary that's usually cheaper and far simpler:
- Calgary → Jeddah/Madinah (Umrah)
- Saudi Arabia → Lahore / Delhi / other Asian city (visit family)
- Back to Canada, the US or Europe (based on your home airport)
One booking, one agent, coordinated visas and baggage, and the whole trip quoted in CAD.
Why plan this with an IATA agency
- Multi-city fares you won't easily find online — priced as one journey.
- Umrah visa + Saudi eVisa + onward visas handled and sequenced correctly.
- Hotels near the Haram plus tourism add-ons, without overpaying.
- Group & family travel — great for families doing Umrah together, then splitting to different home cities.
