Seera Group integrates Mawasim services with Maqam, adding to the ease of Hajj and Umrah bookings across global markets
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, October 11, 2021, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Seera Group has strengthened its religious travel services by integrating 
Mawasim, its Hajj and Umrah division, with Maqam, the official global 
distribution system platform of the Saudi Ministry of Hajj & Umrah. Maqam is 
designed to provide a simplified and unified portal for all details regarding 
booking the pilgrimage from anywhere in the world. Mawasim 
[https://maqam.mawasim.com/registration ] and Maqam (only Saudi–authorised 
portal) came together to redefine the future of travel for global pilgrims to 
the Kingdom.

Travel agents can visit the Mawasim portal to book hotels and transportation to 
generate a booking reference number which they can use to process Umrah visa 
applications via authorised portals for their customers. In the primary phase, 
Mawasim is integrated as an Online Travel Agency (OTA), giving travel agents 
access to an extensive network of diverse and tailored packages targeting 
various types of pilgrim travellers.

Travel agents across 27 markets worldwide such as Egypt, Kuwait, South Africa, 
Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey, among others, can conveniently 
secure Umrah bookings and pass the benefits of Mawasim's packages to pilgrims.

Mawasim also provides solutions to travel agencies with a state-of-the-art B2B 
portal [https://b2b.mawasim.com/login ]. Eligible for nationalities who get 
tourist visas or visas on arrival, the B2B portal allows for hotel bookings and 
transportation across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the possibility of 
add-ons offline.

Majed Alnefaie, CEO of Seera Group, said: "The integration of Mawasim's 
services with Maqam highlights our commitment to supporting the Kingdom to 
realise the visitation goals set for Hajj and Umrah. Working with our agents in 
international source markets, the newly launched service will ensure the 
highest standards of customer service and ease of booking, particularly to meet 
the demand from Umrah groups. Mawasim brings the knowledge of Hajj & Umrah 
pilgrimage and is committed to offering pilgrims the best possible experience."

Global travel agencies working with Mawasim now have access to an end-to-end 
tour operator. The packages offered cover hotel booking, visa processing, VVIP, 
tailor-made packages, additional services such as comfortable road 
transportation, airport meet and greet and, on the ground support by 
knowledgeable local colleagues. Seera Group's partner hotels are within walking 
distance of the Ka'bah and the Haram – boosting the accommodation offering for 
domestic and international visitors.
