Payment and invoicing
What is a quote request?
This is a simple request for a quote on a selected trip. Its purpose is to give you details of the price and how it is broken down. It does not commit you financially. However, no booking request is made to our Partner in charge of organising the trip. As soon as we receive your request for a quote, a travel consultant will deal with your request, check air and hotel availability and send you an order form by email or fax, depending on your choice. Don't wait too long before validating this order form. It is possible that this hotel or fare may no longer be available due to the large number of requests we receive every day.
If you do not wish to proceed, there is nothing for you to do: a request for a quotation does not commit you to us.
What happens once my trip is confirmed?
Your booking is passed on to our invoicing department. We collect the corresponding amount: a deposit of 30% for departures taking place more than 30 days in advance, and the full amount for departures taking place less than 30 days in advance. Within 48 to 72 hours, you will receive by email a payment receipt made out in your name, showing the amount collected.
How long are the offers valid for? Why do prices change?
All our offers are subject to availability at the time of booking. Please note that the availability of a trip may change from one hour to the next, depending on the level of demand for the destination in question. To obtain a firm booking for your trip, you must validate your order form and then wait for confirmation from us.
Our prices are subject to supply and demand. As some dates are more popular than others, our prices change accordingly.
Do the rates include all taxes?
For travel, the prices shown on our site are inclusive of all airport taxes. Prices are based on one adult sharing a quadruple room.
Is the transfer included in my booking?

Preparing my trip
Baggage information
Where can I find information on formats, weights...?
For details on the dimensions and weight of authorised baggage, please consult the specific page of the airline concerned in the list below.
Please note that all information provided on this page is the responsibility of the airline.
How much luggage is allowed?
For a charter flight, we inform you that you are entitled to 15 kg of hold baggage and a maximum of 5 kg of hand baggage. This weight is authorised per person, adult or child over the age of two. Infants under the age of two do not have a baggage allowance.
For a scheduled flight, please refer to the airport notice you received, as this varies from airline to airline.
In general, 23kg in the hold and a maximum of 7kg of hand luggage.
How can I add extra baggage?
By sending us an e-mail.
Describe your request, specifying the number and weight of baggage items you require.
You will receive confirmation by e-mail after processing, with your updated invoice.
Do I have to collect my baggage from the station?
No. Your baggage will be transported directly to your final destination in Saudi Arabia.
I've lost my luggage, what should I do?
You must go immediately to baggage services before leaving the airport to report the loss of your baggage. You will be asked for a valid telephone number so that you can be contacted when your baggage is found.
The Agency cannot take any action on your behalf.
Formalities for my trip
What customs formalities must be complied with?
A passport valid for 6 months beyond the date of return is required for travel to Saudi Arabia. An entry visa is also required.
We advise you to find out before you buy your holiday, as it can take several days to obtain certain administrative documents, especially during the summer months, when it can take longer.
It is therefore your responsibility to satisfy the various conditions and administrative formalities linked to your trip (passport, visa, residence permit, vaccinations, etc.) with the relevant authorities (embassies, consulates, etc.), depending on your situation as a national (French, foreign or binational).
In order to proceed with consular formalities, it is essential to provide us with passport and residence permit details when booking.
Please note: formalities may be subject to change.
Can I travel alone with my minor child?
When travelling alone with a minor child, it is essential to comply with certain formalities to ensure a smooth journey. Please note that this information is subject to change. For detailed and up-to-date information, consult the official France Diplomatie website, section French minors travelling abroad.
- Authorisation to leave France (AST)
Minors travelling alone or with a person who does not have parental authority must have an exit permit.
Similarly, a minor child travelling without the other parent will need to complete an exit permit. This document must be signed by the absent parent or by both parents if custody is shared.
To obtain it, fill in the form CERFA n°154646-01. This form must be signed by the parent who is not travelling with the child. A photocopy of the signing parent's identity document is also required.
- Family record book
The livret de famille (family record book) can be useful for proving the family relationship with the child, but it does not replace the identity card, passport or authorisation to leave the country.
For divorced parents, a copy of the divorce decree may also be requested.
Are you following a specific medical treatment?
If you wish to take medication with you, please let us know if you are taking liquid medication and/or medication in syringe form. You will need to specify this again when you check in on the day of departure. It will also be possible to have them kept in a cool place by making your request to a hostess.
Don't forget to bring your prescription, which you may be asked for at the airport during cabin baggage checks (for liquid products only).
You must present a medical certificate on the day of your departure.
What vaccinations should I have before travelling?
At present, no vaccinations are required for entry into Saudi Arabia.
The only vaccine recommended is meningitis (A,C,Y, W135).
How do I check in for my flight?
To check in, you will need to go directly to the airline's boarding counter at the airport with your identity documents (passport).
Will there be supervision on the plane?
Yes, at least one organiser will be present to accompany you throughout your journey. He or she will meet you at the airline counter on the day of departure and assist you with check-in formalities.
Visa
If my visa has been rejected, will my trip be in jeopardy?
No. We can apply for an Omra visa, but it is also possible to apply for a visa on the spot.
Please note that the first visa application is included in the package, but if it is refused, the traveller will be charged for any new application (the consulate does not reimburse in this type of situation).
Assistance at the airport
Do you need airport assistance?
You must send your request at least two weeks before your departure date so that we can request it from the airline.
Please provide us with the following information:
- Route and dates
- Name of passenger to be assisted
- Name of accompanying persons
- Specify the degree of disability using the following 3 codes:
- WCH/R: Passengers can do everything themselves: get on and off the aircraft and make their way to their seat. They will be assisted from baggage check-in to the aircraft's bridge.
- WCH/S: Passengers cannot get on and off the aircraft on their own. Instead, they travel alone on board. They will therefore receive assistance from baggage check-in to their seat on the plane.
- WCH/C: Passengers cannot travel alone. A companion is compulsory. He or she will be assisted from baggage check-in to his or her seat on the plane.
- If you have your own wheelchair, it will be placed in the hold. Specify whether it is a manual, mechanical or electric wheelchair. For any type of wheelchair, you MUST specify its minimum dimensions (L x W x H) and its weight. It is not necessary to specify whether the battery is dry or liquid.
6. For ground services (hotels, transfers, excursions, etc.): please state whether or not you can climb stairs.
Travel documents
When and how will I receive my travel documents?
Once you have paid in full, we will send you your travel documents by email. You will receive your airport summons (with the meeting point at the airport) and your visa.
These documents will be sent to you by email no later than one week before your departure.
Please note that the deadlines for consular formalities are indicative and subject to change.
We strongly recommend that you print out your documents when you receive them and keep them throughout your stay. This is to avoid any interference with your smartphone.
Travel documents are essential to the smooth running of your trip. They contain a number of elements that are essential to your trip.
What documents do I receive by e-mail?
Once you have paid for your stay (in full or in part, depending on whether you are more or less than 30 days before departure), you will receive :
An email confirming your stay. This email means that your booking is firm and definitive.
A billing email. An invoice is sent for each payment. This will allow you to follow the progress and details of each stage of your payment.
Your travel documents, necessary for your stay. As a reminder, they are usually sent to you at least one week before departure. These deadlines are given for information only and are subject to change.
A reminder email about pre-stay formalities.
If the flight times for your stay change, you will also receive an email to this effect.
Money and exchange rates
Where can I change my money?
Exchange offices are available at Charles de Gaulle (Roissy), the Champs Elysées and Jeddah airport (closed at night).
However, we advise you to exchange a minimum amount of money (€100) before your departure to cover your initial needs when you arrive in Medina.
How much money do I need to change?
The amount of money you need to change will depend on your needs on the ground. You should allow at least €500 for food, with the rest depending on your personal purchases.
Exchange rates
The exchange rate is approximately: 1 € = 3.90 SAR
Specific requests
Would you like me to travel with a specific person?
We recommend that you arrive early at check-in to make your request, especially during school holidays.
I'm travelling with a baby. Will I have a cot in my room?
For all bookings including a baby, a cot is generally provided in the room on request.
During my trip
What should I do if I encounter a particular problem during my trip?
Despite the care we take in selecting our trips, we are not immune to unforeseen circumstances. If this is the case, we recommend that you contact our local representative, who will be in the best position to meet your expectations.
Information about the local representative can be found in your invitation. In addition, whatsapp groups for men and women will be set up throughout the stay.
Whatsapp phone calls don't work in Saudi Arabia. What should I do?
To do this, VPNs can be installed as well as certain applications.
How can I find out more about the transfer?
When you arrive at the airport, after collecting your baggage, our representative will greet you in the arrivals hall with a waistcoat bearing the agency's logo.
How are the rooms organised?
All rooms are quadruple rooms. We generally divide friends and family together and try as far as possible to group people travelling alone in the same age group.
My room card no longer works. What should I do?
It must be demagnetised. Please ask reception for a new one, stating your name and room number.
How do I register for Rawdah?
You will need to register on the Nusuk application (one registration per telephone, except for children under 10), with your passport and visa number.
Slots are generally available 15 days in advance, sometimes a week, sometimes a few days in advance, depending on the goodwill of the Saudi authorities. We strongly advise you to book a slot as soon as you find one.
I have my period during the week in Makkah. Can I take medication to stagger my cycle?
We do not advise you to take any medication for this. We have had several reports of complications (haemorrhaging, severe pain, etc.).
What's more, these treatments are not always effective.
How can I perform Umrah in this case?
The agency is organising a return trip to Mekka from Medina for women who are unable to perform Umrah during their stay in Mekka. They will be looked after by an official who will guide them through all the Umrah rites.
You will need to contact the women's manager to be kept informed of the organisation of the event.
After my trip
What is the purpose of your satisfaction questionnaire?
As soon as you return from your trip, you will receive our satisfaction questionnaire by email. It will then be analysed by our quality team. All aspects of your stay will be studied: hotel facilities, room comfort, catering, cleanliness, welcome at the airport, quality of the travel advisor, etc. In the context of an ever-increasing quality approach, this information will enable us to improve the quality of our services with our suppliers and the stays of our future customers.
Within this framework, we will not fail to take the most appropriate measures following your feedback on your stay.
How can I make a claim?
We invite you to make your request in writing by registered letter addressed to the agency.
So that our advisers can process your request as efficiently as possible, we encourage you to attach all the necessary supporting documents (photos, certificates, invoices, etc.).
