Umrah Software in Egypt: Providers Compared (2026)

Short answer: As of 8 November 2026, we verified three Umrah agency software products that fit Egyptian tourism companies. Trio Travel and Dar Al Umrah come from Cairo software houses. Safa for Umrah names Ministry of Tourism submission on its own page. None publishes a price. The Umrah Gate barcode, the Rafiq app and a 15-day limit shape what the software must hold.

Who regulates Umrah companies in Egypt?

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities does. Its electronic portal for tourism companies (opens in new tab) is run by the Central Administration for Tourism Companies. Within it, the General Administration for Religious Tourism deals with licensed Hajj and Umrah companies. It also follows how their programmes are carried out.

The Egyptian Umrah Gate (opens in new tab) is the second pillar. Its page says it works under the full supervision of the Ministry of Tourism and lists every company licensed to organise Umrah. Only tourism companies may organise Umrah trips, and pilgrims are told to check that a company is listed.

What does the Ministry ask of Umrah companies for 1448 AH?

Four rules stand out on the Ministry's portal this season:

• A 15-day limit: a notice dated 8 October 2026 sets the maximum length of an Umrah programme at fifteen days.
• The Rafiq app: trip supervisors must log their work in Rafiq. A circular dated 2 November 2026 sets the Rafiq supervision rules for the 1448 AH season.
• Barcode per pilgrim: the company issues each pilgrim a barcode through the Umrah Gate. It confirms the visa, the trip booking and the hotels.
• The registered price: companies must keep to the trip price recorded on the Umrah Gate.

The Ministry's religious tourism procedures page (opens in new tab) adds the paperwork. Companies submit four copies of their agreement with the Saudi agent for notarisation by the Ministry and then the Saudi side. For each trip they upload the programme, the pilgrim contract, the Saudi agent's settlement receipt, the flight letter and the pilgrim names.

Supervisors need at least one year of proven experience and must be registered with the Ministry as company employees. Programme changes must be filed at least 48 hours before departure.

How do the Saudi rules fit in?

The Saudi side runs on its own calendar. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's 1448 AH Umrah calendar (opens in new tab) opened external-agent qualification and final contracts on 11 May 2026. Visa issuance began on 31 May 2026, and the last day to issue Umrah visas is 9 March 2027.

An Egyptian company usually works as the external agent of a Saudi Umrah company. Our external agent guide explains that role, and our Nusuk Masar guide covers the Saudi platform where contracts and housing are recorded.

What does this mean for software?

An Egyptian Umrah company keeps two sets of records in step: the Egyptian file and the Saudi file. The rules above point to five needs:

• Programme length: a check that no package exceeds 15 days.
• Registered price: the price sold must match the price filed on the Umrah Gate.
• The Umrah file: programme, contract, Saudi agent receipt, flight letter and names, ready to upload.
• Supervisors: each group linked to a registered supervisor who logs the trip in Rafiq.
• Change log: every programme change dated, so the 48-hour rule can be shown.

How did we choose these vendors?

On 8 November 2026 we searched in Arabic and English for Umrah agency software sold in Egypt. We opened each candidate's own website. A vendor was included only if its own site has a Hajj or Umrah agency product page. That page or site also had to name Egypt or show an Egyptian office.

We excluded Umrah products whose pages do not mention Egypt. We also excluded accounting software with no Hajj or Umrah module, and consumer sites listing Umrah offers. Every cell comes from the vendor's own page; "not stated" means we could not find it there. The list is unranked. UmrahCore, which publishes this guide, appears in the last row as the publisher's product.

Notes on each provider

Trio Travel

Etolv, a Cairo software company, sells Trio Travel as a system for tourism, Hajj and Umrah companies. Its page says it suits Hajj and Umrah companies fully. It also links flights to Amadeus, Galileo and Sabre and turns air files into invoices. Its interface comes in Arabic, English and French.

Dar Al Umrah

Master Vision Integrated Solutions, on Salah Salem Road in Cairo, offers Dar Al Umrah. It is a web system for religious tourism companies. It connects branches over the internet and reports per branch, with treasury reports that show exchange rates. The page invites companies to reserve a copy and says it can be customised.

Safa for Umrah

Safa's Umrah page focuses on the visa rush: entering passports offline, submitting to the Ministry of Tourism and printing barcode reports. Its Hajj page lists Egypt's Ministries of Tourism and Interior among government users. The pages we opened do not state a company address.

How should an Egyptian Umrah company choose?

1. The Ministry's Umrah file. Ask the vendor to produce the programme, contract and pilgrim list for one trip, in the order the portal asks for them.
2. Price and length checks. Confirm the system stores the registered price and warns on any programme longer than 15 days.
3. Pound and riyal accounting. Costs are in riyals and sales in Egyptian pounds. Our Umrah agency accounting guide explains why each booking must keep its exchange rate.
4. Supervisor records. Each group should carry its supervisor, so Rafiq logs match your own records.
5. Sub-agent controls. If you sell through agents in the governorates, log in as an agent and see exactly what they can view and book.
6. Saudi-side workflow. Ask how the system tracks contracts and housing recorded on Nusuk Masar.
