Umrah4laborworkers Tourism Co LLC is a commercial company, incorporated in Dubai, UAE.
We are a Company, started by the community, to serve the community. Our aim is to send as many UAE labor workers to perform their first Umrah to achieve spiritual fulfilment and experience visiting the house of god.
We provide a platform for anyone to gift an Umrah package to a labor worker. As of July 2024, we had over 1,000 applications received from labor workers who would like to perform their first Umrah.

Labor workers submit an Umrah application with supporting documents (including proof of pay). When you purchase a Umrah package we pair your contribution with a labor worker who has applied and is waiting to go for Umrah. We then organize the Umrah trip and announce the bus departure and arrival dates and location on our Instagram page @umrah4laborworkers where you can attend.
Once you’ve purchased an Umrah package, you will be contacted via the email you provided at the time of your purchase, and informed of the bus departure date. Typically, once a package has been gifted, the labor worker goes on the trip within one month of purchase. If you don’t hear from us please contact us on [email protected]
