Why this land matters
The third sacred masjid, the first qiblah
On the night of Al-Isra wal-Mi'raj the Prophet ﷺ was carried from Makkah to Masjid Al-Aqsa, led the Prophets in prayer there, and ascended from it. It is the land Allah described as blessed — and the Prophet ﷺ told us that if we cannot pray in it, we should at the very least send oil for its lamps. This journey is for those who can go and pray.
“Do not undertake a journey to visit any masjid but three: this Masjid of mine, Masjid Al-Haram, and Masjid Al-Aqsa.”
“Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed.”
“Maymunah (RA) asked: O Messenger of Allah, tell us about Bayt al-Maqdis. He said: 'Go and pray there. And if you cannot go and pray there, then send some oil to be used in its lamps.'”
“A prayer in Masjid Al-Aqsa is worth the reward of five hundred prayers offered elsewhere.”

Mufti Sulaiman Yusufi
Born and raised in upstate New York, Mufti Sulaiman began his pursuit of sacred knowledge at the age of twelve, memorising the Holy Qur'an at Darul Uloom Madania in Buffalo, New York.
He went on to study the traditional Islamic sciences under a range of scholars, receiving ijazah in the six most authentic books of hadith. Upon graduation he was invited into a specialised course in Islamic law and legal verdicts (fatwa), completing it in two years and receiving formal authorisation in iftaa.
He teaches and lectures regularly, and will be with the group for the whole journey — leading the prayers, giving short reminders at each site and answering questions as they come up.
While making the journey last year with his family, he travelled this exact route, so his knowledge of the crossing, the hotels and the blessed sites is first hand and recent.
The routing
In through Amman, home from Tel Aviv
Fly into Amman — Queen Alia International (AMM) · Fly home from Tel Aviv — Ben Gurion (TLV)
Arrive through Jordan rather than Tel Aviv
Entering via the King Hussein / Allenby Bridge offers a calmer route: the group travels together on a private bus to the crossing. Furthermore, if a traveler experiences difficulty at the border, they can independently manage their own time and explore Jordan's blessed sites rather than facing a wasted journey.
Return from Tel Aviv
Flying home from Ben Gurion Airport is a highly efficient choice for your departure. It spares travelers an additional border crossing and an entire day of bus travel, which is generally more cost-effective. Ultimately, this allows you to maximize your remaining time for worship and reflection instead of navigating transit.
- ✦Jordan visa included (arrivals within the 48-hour window)
- ✦Jordan exit fee included
- ✦Assisted arrival crossing
- ✦Private group bus to TLV on departure
To ensure complete transparency, please note that entry into Jordan via the border crossing carries an inherent degree of uncertainty, as entry is subject to border control discretion. While we fully anticipate a smooth entry, we believe in being upfront about these possibilities before you travel, which is also a key reason our return itinerary is structured via Tel Aviv.
Airport transfers
Getting you from the airport, and back to it
Travellers join us from all over, so arrival and departure times vary. Either way, you will be taken care of.
- 1
A private group bus on arrival in Amman
We run a private bus from Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) to the hotel at a set time, and we tell the whole group that time in advance. Our representative meets the group bus arrival at the airport.
- 2
A private group bus on departure day
On the final day a private bus runs from the hotel in the Old City to Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) at a set, announced time, timed around the bulk of the group's flights.
- 3
Outside those times, we arrange a private taxi
If your flight falls outside the group bus window, we arrange a private taxi for you at additional cost. Nobody is left to find their own way.
For the family at home
But is it safe?
It is the first thing families ask, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a slogan.
✦Mufti Sulaiman has already travelled this route
He travelled this very route last year with his family, so nothing on this itinerary is theoretical.
✦Known areas, licensed local guides
We stay within Amman, the Old City of Al-Quds and the established ziyarah sites, always accompanied by local licensed guides who know the ground intimately.
✦Private transport, door to door
No public buses and no wandering after dark. Private air-conditioned coaches take the group from hotel to site and back.
✦Daily briefings and a flexible programme
We monitor conditions continuously with our partners on the ground, brief the group each day, and reshape any day's programme if needed.
✦Hotels beside the blessed compound
In Al-Quds we stay inside the Old City, minutes on foot from Al-Aqsa — the less time on the road, the calmer the trip.
✦Thousands make this journey every year
Muslim families from the US, UK and Europe perform this ziyarah annually and return home safely, alhamdulillah. You will not be the first — you will be in a group that knows the way.

Before you book
Policies & disclaimers
Refunds & circumstances beyond our control
We are unable to issue refunds for unforeseen circumstances, local disruptions, or changes in Jerusalem that fall beyond our operational control.
Flight disruptions, cancellations, & missed connections
We bear no liability for missed, delayed, or canceled flights under any circumstances. Because our operational expenses, vendor deposits, and hotel accommodations are committed in advance, we cannot offer refunds, credits, or alternative compensation if a traveler is unable to attend due to flight issues or transportation delays.
Airline tickets & independent bookings
As this is a land-only package, all flight arrangements are the traveler's responsibility. Airline refund and cancellation policies vary by carrier—particularly in cases of force majeure. We strongly recommend reviewing your airline's specific terms and purchasing comprehensive travel insurance prior to booking.
Limitation of liability & assumption of risk
By booking this journey, participants acknowledge that travel involves inherent risks. We act solely as organizers of the program and assume no liability for personal injury, illness, property loss, or itinerary changes caused by third-party providers, political developments, weather, or events beyond our direct control.

Common questions
Asked before booking
Why do we fly into Jordan but home from Tel Aviv?+
We arrive through Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and enter via the King Hussein / Allenby Bridge, which offers a calmer route: the group travels together on a private bus to the crossing. Furthermore, if a traveler experiences difficulty at the border, they can independently manage their own time and explore Jordan's blessed sites rather than facing a wasted journey. Flying home from Ben Gurion Airport is a highly efficient choice for departure: it spares travelers an additional border crossing and an entire day of bus travel, is generally more cost-effective, and lets you maximize your remaining time for worship and reflection instead of navigating transit. To ensure complete transparency, please note that entry into Jordan via the border crossing carries an inherent degree of uncertainty, as entry is subject to border control discretion. While we fully anticipate a smooth entry, we believe in being upfront about these possibilities before you travel, which is also a key reason our return itinerary is structured via Tel Aviv.
How do I get from the airport to the hotel, and back again?+
A private group bus runs from Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) to the hotel in Amman on arrival day, and from the hotel in the Old City to Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) on departure day. We announce both times to the whole group in advance, timed around the bulk of the group's flights. Travellers join us from all over, so not every flight can fit the bus — if yours falls outside that window we arrange a private taxi for you at additional cost. Either way you will be taken care of, and our representative meets the group bus arrival at the airport.
Is it safe?+
This is the question every family asks, and it deserves a straight answer. We keep the group in the areas we know: Amman, the Old City of Al-Quds and the established ziyarah sites, always with local licensed guides and private door-to-door transport — never public buses, never wandering off after dark. Mufti Sulaiman made this journey last year with his family, so nothing here is theoretical. We monitor the situation continuously with our partners on the ground, keep the group briefed daily, and reserve the right to reshape any day's programme if conditions call for it. Thousands of Muslims from the West perform this ziyarah every year and return home safely, alhamdulillah.
What exactly is a land package?+
The price covers everything on the ground: hotels with breakfast and dinner included daily, all transfers, guided tours, the Jordan visa and the Jordan border exit fee. International flights are not included. We keep it land-only because it is simpler and more cost effective for you — you can hunt for the flight deal that suits your city and budget.
How should I book my flights?+
You book them yourself, as one multi-city ticket: home city → Amman (AMM) on leg 1, Tel Aviv (TLV) → home city on leg 2 — not a return to the same airport. Land in Amman on the group's first day, and book your flight out of Tel Aviv from midday onwards on the final day, since Ben Gurion asks you to arrive around four hours before departure. Make sure your passport has at least six months validity. Contact us before you book if you are unsure about your times.
