About Us
The Umrah pilgrimage holds significant spiritual importance for Muslims around the world. However, for many labor workers, fulfilling this sacred journey remains a distant dream due to financial and logistical challenges. Recognizing this disparity, Umrah4laborworkers was founded with the vision of bridging this gap, enabling those in the most challenging circumstances to experience the spiritual fulfillment that comes with performing Umrah.
Umrah4laborworkers Tourism Co. LLC is an onshore company incorporated in Dubai, UAE.
Every step in our journey is dedicated to those who build and sustain our communities. At the heart of our mission is the belief that spiritual fulfilment is a profound form of empowerment. This is why we are privileged to support our labor workers in their pursuit of Umrah, ensuring that their hard work is met with the ultimate reward of spiritual peace and rejuvenation.
