Samaway
For providers

List your packages where pilgrims are actively searching.

Samaway is a dedicated marketplace for Umrah and Hajj travel, built to connect pilgrims with trusted companies. We help companies reach pilgrims through a centralized platform for package discovery, lead management, and direct communication. Our mission is to make finding a trustworthy Umrah or Hajj provider simple and transparent.

Who Can List

Built for organizations that run Umrah and Hajj packages.

Any company that offers structured Umrah or Hajj packages can apply to list on samaway.com.

Travel Agencies & Tour Operators

Established agencies offering structured Umrah and Hajj packages to pilgrims, domestic and international.

Independent Program Providers

Third-party organizations that design and operate Umrah and Hajj packages independent of a larger travel agency, often across multiple destinations and seasons.

Group & Community Trip Organizers

Masjids, community leaders, or group coordinators running short-term group trips tied to a specific community or travel itinerary.

How It Works

Four steps from registration to receiving pilgrim inquiries.

The process is straightforward. Each step requires admin review before advancing, ensuring quality and trust are maintained throughout.

1
Register & Claim Your Profile

Submit your organization for review. If your provider already exists in our directory, you can claim it and request ownership. Admin approval is required before access is granted.

2
Build Your Provider Profile

Add your logo, organizational description, licensing details, destinations served, contact information, and social links. Your profile is your public-facing identity on the platform.

3
List your packages

Publish individual package listings with full detail: destination, term, subject, cost, duration, housing, deadlines, and more. Each package submission goes through admin review before going live.

4
Receive Pilgrim Inquiries

Pilgrim leads arrive directly from your provider page and individual package listings. You respond from your provider dashboard and manage all inquiries in one place.

Package Listing Data

Every package listing carries the full depth of information pilgrims need to make a decision.

Samaway supports a richer data model than most directories. Providers can populate detailed fields across logistics, itinerary, costs, housing, and discounts — all of which appear on the public-facing package page.

Each field that is populated increases the quality signal of your listing and gives pilgrims more reason to inquire rather than move on.

Visibility Plans

Choose the tier that matches your organization's goals.

All providers start with a Free listing. Paid plans expand your visibility, placement, and access to pilgrim matches and group trip requests. Visibility badges (Verified, Featured) are always admin-controlled — they are not granted automatically by upgrading.

PlanPriceKey Differentiator
Free $0 / month Claim your profile and establish a basic presence in our directory.
Starter $49 / month Full profile editing, package management, lead notifications, and up to 5 pilgrim matches per month.
Growth $249 / month Unlimited pilgrim matches, full group trip request marketplace access, priority search ranking, and a branded microsite.
Premier $499 / month First access to every lead with a 24-hour head start, exclusive matches, and homepage featured placement.
Beyond Your Listing

Warm leads come to you — you don't chase them.

Your listing is only the start. When pilgrims use Pilgrim Match or groups submit a trip request, matching requests are released to you as warm leads — with requirements and contact details — so you can respond instead of prospect.

Your plan controls how early and how many you receive. Premier providers get a 24-hour head start and exclusive matches; Growth unlocks unlimited matches and the full group trip request marketplace.

See how leads reach you
Pilgrim Match leads

Individual pilgrims share their goals and are matched with up to 5 providers. You receive their request and reach out directly. Available from Starter.

Group trip request marketplace

Masjids and community groups post group trip requests. Submit a proposal, then message the group directly. Available from Growth.

Provider Dashboard

Everything you manage is in one dashboard.

Your provider dashboard gives you complete control over your profile, programs, and leads. Subscription management and account settings are handled from the same place.

Profile Management

Edit your organization name, tagline, description, logo, gallery, licensing details, contact information, website, and social links at any time.

Package Management

Create and manage all your package listings. See which packages are active, pending review, or require attention. Update content as deadlines and costs change.

Leads & Inquiries

All pilgrim inquiries submitted from your provider and package pages appear in your leads inbox. Reply directly and track follow-up from the dashboard.

Subscription & Billing

View your current plan, upgrade or change your tier, and manage your billing details through Stripe's secure customer portal. All billing is handled monthly.

Verification Status

Track the status of your provider verification and featured badge eligibility. Badge decisions are made by the admin team based on profile completeness and organizational legitimacy.

Account Settings

Update your account email, password, and notification preferences. Manage your linked user profile independently from your public provider listing.

Quality & Trust

Every profile and program goes through admin review.

Samaway is a moderated marketplace. This means providers and packages are reviewed before they go live, and trust badges are awarded based on admin evaluation — not automatically through payment.

This approach protects pilgrims from low-quality or misleading listings and gives your organization's approval status genuine credibility.

Provider Profile Approval

New provider registrations and claim requests require admin approval before the provider gains access to their dashboard and before the profile goes public.

Package Listing Approval

Each new package submission enters a pending state and will not appear in search results until an admin approves it. This maintains listing quality across the marketplace.

Verified Badge

The Verified badge is awarded by the admin team based on profile completeness, licensing evidence, and organizational legitimacy. It is not granted automatically by any paid plan.

Featured Badge

Featured status is an admin-controlled designation. Providers on Growth or Premier plans become eligible for the badge, but it is only activated after admin review and approval.

FAQ

Questions providers typically ask before listing.

Any travel agency, independent Umrah and Hajj provider, or group trip organizer can apply to list. All applications go through an admin approval process before the provider gains access to manage their profile and packages. We do not automatically approve every submission — the marketplace is maintained for quality and relevance to the Umrah and Hajj use case.

No. Verified and Featured badges are always admin-controlled. Upgrading to a Starter, Growth, or Premier plan makes your organization eligible for these badges, but the admin team evaluates each case independently. Badges represent a quality signal to pilgrims and are never sold or automatically assigned.

You can list individual Umrah packages, Hajj packages, group trips, season-specific packages (such as Ramadan Umrah), and other structured Umrah and Hajj travel packages. Each package is associated with a destination, subject area, and term type to appear in relevant discovery flows.

All paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe and renew automatically until cancelled. Billing is handled securely through Stripe's customer portal, which you can access directly from your provider dashboard. You can cancel or change your plan at any time. The Free plan has no billing and no time limit.

Yes. One provider account can have as many program listings as your organization offers. Each program is reviewed and approved individually before going live. There is no cap on the number of programs you can publish. Programs appear on your public provider profile and in search results independently.

Register your organization, claim your profile, and list the packages pilgrims are looking for. The platform is designed around the Umrah and Hajj use case — not a generic directory adapted for it.
