About RUH 360
Who is RUH 360?
RUH 360 is a technology-driven Hajj and Umrah service dedicated to honest, transparent, and Sharia-compliant pilgrimage for Nigerian Muslims. RUH means 'companion' in Arabic, and 360 represents our full-circle commitment to you — before, during, and after your journey. Our team brings over 50 years of combined industry experience, and we operate in strategic partnership with our NAHCON-licensed partner, AIA KURAWA Travels & General Contract Ltd.
What makes RUH 360 different from other Hajj agencies?
Traditional agencies often exaggerate hotel distances, treat your money casually, and leave families guessing at home. RUH 360 replaces each of those failures with a concrete, enforceable mechanism:
| Feature | RUH 360 | Other Agencies |
|---|---|---|
| Honest Distance Guarantee | GPS-verified hotel distances, 25% refund if off by >100m | Often exaggerated or hidden |
| 100% Visa Guarantee | Full money-back if visa is not approved | “We will try” |
| Escrow-Protected Payments | Funds held securely until services are delivered | Direct payment to agency |
| Pay Small Small | Interest-free installments, rate-locked | Large upfront payments |
| Real-Time Pilgrim Tracking | Family can track your location live | No tracking |
| Digital Legacy Vault | Store wills, duas, and video messages | No legacy services |
| Physiotherapy Partners | Pre-Hajj conditioning and post-Hajj recovery | No physical preparation |
| NAHCON Licensed Partner | AIA KURAWA Travels & General Contract Ltd | Not always licensed |
Is RUH 360 NAHCON licensed?
RUH 360 operates in strategic partnership with AIA KURAWA Travels & General Contract Ltd, a fully licensed Hajj and Umrah tour operator recognized by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON). The license is AIA KURAWA’s — we say so plainly rather than implying we hold it ourselves. Our partner holds:

Note: the medical support we arrange is a value-added travel service, not medical care — every pilgrim should also have their own doctor's clearance to travel.
Payment & Financing
How does Pay Small Small work?
Pay Small Small is our interest-free installment plan: choose your package, pay a 10% deposit to secure your slot, choose a 6- or 12-month plan, then pay monthly installments at 0% interest. Your price is locked against Naira devaluation for the duration of the plan.
| Example — Standard Umrah | Amount |
|---|---|
| Package price | ₦2,000,000 |
| Deposit (10%) | ₦200,000 |
| 12-month plan | ₦150,000 / month |
| 6-month plan | ₦300,000 / month |
Is the price locked against Naira devaluation?
Yes. Once you pay your deposit, your total price is locked in Naira for the duration of your payment plan. Even if the Naira crashes, your price does not change. This is our Rate-Lock Guarantee.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfer to our corporate account, card payments via Paystack, cash at our Kano office (receipt issued), and installments by monthly direct debit or salary deduction.
| Method | Details |
|---|---|
| Bank Transfer | Direct transfer to our corporate account |
| Card Payment | Debit/credit card via Paystack |
| Cash | At our Kano office (receipt issued) |
| Installments | Monthly direct debit or salary deduction |
Can I pay with livestock, gold, or silver?
Yes. Through our asset-backed financing partnership with non-interest banks, you can settle your booking using livestock (cattle, sheep, goats), gold, silver, or land/property. Contact us for asset valuation and Sharia-compliant financing options.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If you miss a payment, we will contact you to arrange a catch-up plan — we understand that life happens. However, if payments are missed for 2 consecutive months without communication, your booking may be cancelled and your deposit may be forfeited as per our Terms of Service.
Can I get a refund if I cancel?
Before visa processing you receive a full refund minus a ₦100,000 admin fee; after visa processing, 50%; after flight ticketing, no refund. If your visa is rejected, you receive a 100% refund under our Visa Guarantee.
| Cancellation Period | Refund |
|---|---|
| Before visa processing | Full refund minus ₦100,000 admin fee |
| After visa processing | 50% refund |
| After flight ticketing | No refund |
| Visa rejection | 100% refund (our guarantee) |
Trust & Protection
What is the Honest Distance Guarantee?
We GPS-verify every hotel's distance to the Haram. If the distance is off by more than 100 meters from what we promised, we refund 25% of your accommodation cost. No other agency in Nigeria makes this guarantee.
What is the 100% Visa Guarantee?
If your Hajj or Umrah visa is not approved by Saudi authorities, you get 100% of your money back. No questions asked. Your life savings are protected.
How is my money protected?
Your money is held in a secure, regulated escrow account. It is only released to us when services — your visa, flight, and hotel — are verified as delivered. This protects you from fraud.
What is the RUH 360 Trust Check?
Trust Check is our free verification tool. Use it to search NAHCON-licensed agents (Agent License Verification), confirm visa validity with your passport number (Visa Status Checker), and confirm flight authenticity with your PNR (Ticket Validity Checker). Peace of mind is just a click away.
What is the Digital Legacy Vault?
The Digital Legacy Vault is secure digital storage for your Islamic will, personal duas for your family, recorded video messages, and legacy letters for specific recipients. Upon your death, the vault is released to your designated Legacy Guardian. It provides emotional closure and peace of mind for your family.
Can my family track me during Hajj?
Yes. Real-Time Pilgrim Tracking lets your family in Nigeria see your live location during Hajj and Umrah, and receive emergency SOS alerts if you need help.
What hotels do you use?
We use hotels registered in the Saudi Ministry Portal, ranging from 2-3 star economy options to 5-star hotels connected to the Haram — all within GPS-verified distance of the Grand Mosque.
Travel & Logistics
Which airlines do you use?
We use major airlines including Flyadeal (Saudi low-cost carrier, subsidiary of Saudia), Saudia Airlines (Saudi national carrier), Egypt Air (connecting flights), and Ethiopian Airlines (connecting flights). All flights depart from Lagos, Kano, or Abuja to Jeddah or Madinah.
What is the luggage allowance?
Allowance depends on the airline. We recommend packing light and bringing a reusable water bottle — it is included in your RUH 360 kit.
| Airline | Checked Luggage | Carry-On |
|---|---|---|
| Saudia | 2 × 23kg | 7kg |
| Flyadeal | 30kg | 7kg |
| Ethiopian | 2 × 23kg | 7kg |
| Egypt Air | 2 × 23kg | 7kg |
Do I need a visa for Saudi Arabia?
Yes. All Nigerian pilgrims require a valid Hajj or Umrah visa, and RUH 360 handles the entire process: we collect your documents, submit them to NAHCON and the Saudi authorities, track your visa status, and notify you upon approval. You do not need to visit the embassy yourself.
What vaccinations do I need?
Mandatory vaccinations for Hajj/Umrah are Meningitis, Yellow Fever, and COVID-19 (as per current Saudi requirements). Recommended vaccinations include Influenza, Pneumococcal (for elderly pilgrims), and Hepatitis A & B. We partner with clinics to provide these vaccinations at discounted rates for RUH 360 pilgrims.
What should I pack?
We provide a comprehensive packing list to all pilgrims. Essentials include: Ihram (2 sets for men), modest clothing for women, comfortable walking shoes, a reusable water bottle (included in your kit), a prayer mat (included in your kit), a dua book (included in your kit), medications with prescriptions, and photocopies of your passport and visa.
During Hajj & Umrah
What support do I get during Hajj?
During Hajj you receive 24/7 WhatsApp support (message us anytime), a dedicated Mutawwif and on-ground support team, real-time tracking so family can monitor your location, one-tap emergency SOS, medical support through partner clinics in Makkah and Madinah, and daily WhatsApp broadcasts with schedules and reminders.
What if I get lost?
Stay calm and do not wander. Open the RUH 360 app and use the 'Find My Group' feature, call our 24/7 hotline, or go to the designated meeting point where your group leader will be. We also provide a printed card with your hotel's address in Arabic for taxi drivers.
What if I have a medical emergency?
Press the SOS button in the RUH 360 app, call the Saudi Red Crescent on 997, call our 24/7 hotline on +234 706 666 5586, or go to the nearest clinic — we have partnerships with clinics in Makkah and Madinah. Your travel insurance covers medical emergencies. Our medical support is a value-added travel service, not medical care.
Can I use my phone in Saudi Arabia?
Yes — but note that a Saudi SIM card and data are not included in your package price; they are available as a paid add-on, or you can buy a SIM on arrival at the airport. Either way, you will be able to stay connected with family, use the RUH 360 app, access maps and guides, and call for support.
What food will I eat?
Meals depend on your tier: Economy includes breakfast; Standard includes breakfast and dinner; Premium and VIP are full board (VIP international). For meals not included, we provide a list of recommended restaurants near your hotel, and Nigerian food options are available in Makkah and Madinah.
| Tier | Meals Included |
