Journey outline. This page describes the sacred places this journey is planned around. Dates, duration, price, accommodation and transport are not yet published — they are confirmed with you personally when you enquire.
Age, illness or disability should not have to stand between a pilgrim and the shrines they long to visit. This journey is planned at a gentler pace, around the needs of elderly travellers and people with disabilities or mobility limitations, including those who are maʿzūr (معذور).
Every traveller's needs are different, so we begin by listening. We then tell you honestly which kinds of assistance can be arranged for your dates and destinations — and which cannot — before anything is booked.
A confirmed day-by-day itinerary is shared with you on enquiry.
