Read our method- ResearchWe open official Saudi, UK, US and Canadian pages, plus quran.com and sunnah.com, and record every page we actually read.
- WriteThe guide is written only from that research. Anything we cannot source is left out, not guessed.

- Date and publishThe page shows when it was verified. Religious guides also wait for scholar review.

Common questions about this site
Is Qiblatain Tours a travel agency?
No. We are an editorial website. When you ask for an Umrah quote, your enquiry goes to a licensed partner travel agency, which is responsible for the booking and any financial protection. See our advertising and affiliate disclosure.
Where does the information come from?
From official Saudi, UK, US and Canadian sources first, and from quran.com and sunnah.com for religious references. Every guide lists its sources, and a second, independent check runs before anything is published.
How often are guides updated?
Each guide shows the date it was last verified. Visa and rules guides are re-checked every three months, hotel guides every season, and seasonal guides every autumn.
Do you give religious rulings?
No. We describe what the recognised schools say and point you to a scholar you trust. Guides in the Umrah Guide section are reviewed by a qualified scholar before they go live.
How can I report a mistake?
Please use the contact page and choose Correction. We check every report against the source and update the guide, with the new date, as soon as we can.
Why the name Qiblatain?
In Madinah stands Masjid al-Qiblatain, the Mosque of the Two Qiblas, where the direction of prayer was turned towards the Kaaba. We chose the name as a reminder of what every pilgrim is really doing: turning, with the whole heart, in the right direction. Our job is to make the practical part of that journey simple.
