Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Canadian pilgrims
How much spending money do I need for Umrah from Canada?▼
As a rough guide, Canadian Umrah pilgrims should budget C$1,000–C$3,000 for spending money (in addition to package cost). This covers meals not included in the package, shopping and gifts (Zamzam, dates, prayer items, Islamic books), Zamzam water transport arrangements, tips for hotel staff and drivers, and personal expenses. Those doing Ziyarat tours may spend more on local experiences.
What is the best way to take money to Saudi Arabia from Canada?▼
Best options for Canadian pilgrims: (1) Credit/debit card with no foreign transaction fees (Scotiabank Passport Visa, TD Aeroplan Visa, Wise card) — widely accepted in Makkah and Madinah; (2) Withdraw Saudi Riyals from ATMs in Saudi Arabia using your Canadian bank card; (3) Pre-loaded travel money cards in USD or SAR; (4) Carry some CAD or USD for emergencies. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
What is 1 Canadian Dollar worth in Saudi Riyal?▼
At current exchange rates (2026/2027), 1 Canadian Dollar (CAD) is approximately 2.70–2.80 Saudi Riyals (SAR). So C$1,000 = approximately SAR 2,700–2,800. Exchange rates fluctuate, so check rates closer to your travel date. Airport exchange counters generally offer poor rates — use ATMs or pre-loaded travel cards.
When is the cheapest time to do Umrah from Canada?▼
The cheapest time for Umrah from Canada is September–November (after Hajj season, before Ramadan). Prices during this period can be 20–40% lower than peak Ramadan or peak winter. January–February (pre-Ramadan) is also good value. Avoid: Ramadan 2027 (Mar–Apr 2027), Hajj season 2027 (late May–Jun 2027), and Canadian holiday periods like winter break.
