We went for Hajj 2012 with Chicago Hajj and had a wonderful experience everything was taken care of alhamdulillah. we were really worried bc it was our first time on hajj. However, the staff managed everything smoothly. The service was great from the chicago office to hajj and back. We will surely suggest this group to our friends/families.

We bought a land package because I work for an airline...Chicago Hajj designed a custom package that was affordable for us. No complaints...everything went well. Would definitely recommend others to go through Chicago Hajj.

My wife, mother-in-law and I all had high expectations for CHU as we had heard many good things prior to booking our arrangements. I am happy to say that our experience was wonderful, Alhumdillah, and we would definitely use them for Hajj/Umrah again, insh'Allah. We were looking for a group that made the tenets of Hajj/Umrah the top priority and CHU did so without fail. CHU was fortunate to have Mufti Haroon leading the group and he did an exceptional job in guiding us and making sure we knew and performed all the obligations and duties of Umrah and Hajj. CHU is not a materialistic group- the focus is on performing Umrah and Hajj and we felt that they did a wonderful job.
Upon arrival, CHU representatives met us at the airport and made our travel arrangements to the hotel. Transportation to and from the airport as well as from Medina to Mecca was very smooth and efficient. The description and pictures of the hotel rooms on the website are accurate and the accommodations were more than adequate. The food was good and the timings of the buffet were very accommodating. The hotel in Medina was very close to the masjid (~5 minute walk). However, be prepared to take the CHU-provided transportation in Mecca as the hotel is not close to the Kabah. We were patient and flexible and we did not find this to be an issue. It is still possible to spend numerous hours at the Kabah, but do no expect to be able to go quickly back-and-forth to/from the hotel. The Mina arrangements were also more than adequate and we did not have any issues with space, food, etc. while we were there.
The CHU staff was very accessible during the whole trip and were eager to answer any and all logistical questions. Mufti Haroon also did a wonderful job in answering all questions pertaining to Umrah and Hajj. We were very pleased with our experience and if we are given another opportunity to perform Hajj, we will go with CHU, insh'Allah.

you were able to handle all our needs for Hajj and have been very instrumental, supportive and offered
dedicated services. Our gratitude to all the team members both in Chicago and in Saudi Arabia. I will
definitely recommend your company to those who have intention to perform Hajj in the coming years
and I myself will definitely go with Chicago group God willing for my next Hajj. Keep up the good work
and we ask Allah to reward you for your efforts...Once again thank you for your efforts an great service.
My great admiration to sheikh Haron Ferdosi; he has been an example for a dedicated leader for our group.
We ask Allah to give him his derserved rewad in this Dunia and in the hereafter. To Zamir, you have been a
great leader and Allah will reward you for your dedication and professionalism. Jazakum Allahukhiran to all
of you at the Chacag Hajj group.

As I was saying it was a great pleasure to be with the Chicago Hajj group and sure I have complaints but if the hajj was as easy as staying at a hotel in America then walking a couple of km a week then maybe Allah wouldn't accept since it became a vacation and not a fard on us to fulfill the fifth pillar. May Allah reward you for all you did.

We had a great experience and I am thankful to the CHU group for their services. Out of millions of muslims who not only have time, money and health, Allah (swt) chose us among the Hujjaj of 2009. I applaud the members of CHU, for continuing their efforts to provide a great and memorable Hajj experiences to thousands year round, inspite of negative comments from handful. Hajj is not a picnic or vacation . Once we accept that fact, then every difficulty becomes easy and we end up having a memorable experience. We were so fortunate to be standing on the land where the prohpet (pbuh) and the sahabs walked, then how can someone have time to think about how many stars the hotel has, or how delicious the food was, or any other material things? Dear Hujjaj, do you remember how many janaza namaz we offered in the few days we got to stay in makkah and madina? Unfortunately, its only the material things that matter to us. After coming back from Hajj, I was asked about the hotel stay, the food, how much money I spend, only few asked me how I felt when I saw Kabah for the first time, only few asked if I got to offer my salam to the prophet (pbuh) and offer namaaz in rawda-al-jannah. May Allah (swt) accept our hajj and give us another opportunity to visit the holy land, Ameen. Jazakallah to Br.Zamir, Br. Yousuf, Br. Mufti Haroon, Br. Ayub, Br. Suleman and everyone else associated with CHU. I recommend everyone to use CHU for their Hajj and Umrah tours. For the elders in our community, before you choose any pacakge, please keep in mind about the distance you are able to walk comfortably. CHU members, please maintain the same competitive prices. You definitely have an edge on the competitors.

Walaikum Assalam. Hope you all are doing good by the grace of Allah. Sorry it took me quite a while to reply to this e-mail.
I want to thank you all for taking care of us during our Hajj trip in Nov-Dec 2009. Overall my experience with Chicago Hajj is pretty good & I am satisfied with your service. Here are some of the good things that I noticed during my 17 days stay in Makkah & Madina.
(1) Hotel location in Makkah (Royal Orchid) & Madinah (Mawaddah al Marwah) was very good.

Assalamu alaikum, Thank you very much to all of Chicago Hajj for this year's hajj. We really appreciate your sincere efforts to make our hajj experience an excellent one. Thanks for the excellent and wide variety of food selection throughout our stay. Close accomodation to Haram in Medinah was really great, allowed us to attend all the prayers. Mufti Haroon and all others easy availability to anyquestions was great.

As Salam U Alaikum, I would like to extend my thanks to everyone in Chicago Hajj and Umrah. Considering the sheer number of hajjis, it was a successful and satisfying experience. I would like to extend my special thanks to Akeel, Yusuf, Zamir, Ayoub and Mufti Haroon. Also, to the supporting cast of food catering and those kids in particular. It was a very good experience. Thank you all.

Dear Mr. Zamir, My wife and I were invited by Allah to visit his house and house of his Beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). We joined your group to go to Saudi Arabia. We first visited Medinah and stayed close to Masjid-e-Nabawi. Later on we went to Mecca and preformed Hajj. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. From the Spiritual guidance from Mufti Haroon to catering by Mr. Aqil, travel from Medinah to Mecca and other places as well as your house staff at mecca, everybody was very helpful.
