Umrah 2024: Travel with Confidence

Hello Friends,

Ramadan Greetings!

For our Muslim friends, the season of Ramadan is a special time to grow spiritually, praying, fasting and for some, going on an Umrah pilgrimage. If you are one of those who are still getting ready for Umrah during this season, you must be feeling excited!

You see, last year my friends, Amir and Fatimah, were all set for their Umrah journey. Like most of us, they were filled with a lot of excitement and anticipation as they prepared for their holy trip. Fatimah especially couldn’t contend with her joy because it was her first time visiting Mecca for Umrah.? She told the entire neighborhood.

When the D-day arrived, Amir and Fatimah left for the airport at 7 am sharp to catch a flight at noon. They claimed it was to beat traffic or any other issues that may arise but I can bet you that the excitement didn’t let them sleep a wink. Unfortunately, there was one surprise they didn't anticipate - a cancelled flight.?

You should have seen how Fatimah bowed her head in shame. Why? Because she had a big fight with Amir not pay for travel insurance as there would be no need for it. Fortunately, Amir stubbornly and secretly got them travel Insurance regardless. With a quick call to their insurance provider, Leadway Assurance, they sorted out alternative flights and covered the extra expenses. Talk about a sigh of relief!?

But the battle was far from over. During their layover, Amir discovered that his luggage was missing. Fatimah already felt like their faith was being tested.? She however was shocked to see that Amir was not worried at all. That was when Amir told her that his travel Insurance also covered baggage loss.?

As Amir and Fatimah performed their Tawaf around the Kaaba and offered their prayers at the sacred sites, they were filled with gratitude. Not just for the spiritual experience they've been blessed with, but also for the peace of mind afforded by their travel insurance.

The moral of the story? Having the right insurance coverage ensures that your focus remains where it should be - the spiritual significance of your trip.

This is why for your Umrah trip this year,? getting travel insurance should be a top priority.? It is a safety net that safeguards your trip against uncertainties like flight cancellation, medical emergencies, missing luggage etc.?

Like I always say "It is never wrong to be prepared." So, as you prepare for your Umrah pilgrimage, remember the story of Amir and Fatima and make sure to get the Leadway Travel Insurance.?

Ramadan Kareem!

Lots of Love,?
