The Sisters Umrah Trip 2026 is a nine-day guided Umrah experience created for women, in collaboration between Sakina Journeys (Finland) and The Retreat, your on-the-ground logistics team in Saudi Arabia.
From 20 to 28 October 2026, you will spend four nights in Madinah and four nights in Makkah, staying in accommodation within easy reach of the Prophet’s Mosque and the Haram. The journey is led by Sr Rahma Hersi, founder of Sakina Journeys, and combines the rites of Umrah with a structured program of learning, reflection and guided ziyarat — all in the company of sisters.
Every practical detail on the ground — private transport, hotel coordination, scheduled visits and daily logistics in Madinah and Makkah — is handled by The Retreat’s local team in Saudi Arabia, so you can give your full attention to worship.
