Alhamdulliah
We had reached home Sunday early morning, but since we all were feeling under weather, it took a while to pay our gratitude.
Kudos to the whole AKI team and AKI family. Dr. Khandwani and his sons were literally on their toes to make sure things go well for all of us.
JazakAllah for all the good you did to us. And I also wanna thank all the people I met during the journey for making this experience wholesome. The respect, the love, the care everyone had for each other is the most beautiful thing I had taken back.
Best of luck to each of you and remember each other in prayers.
AoA, Indeed it was a memorable Hajj Group and an extraordinary blessed experience. We started our journey on 21st June and it ends on 5th July. We are back to our routine life but still when I am reading these messages, I am feeling that I am in Mecca with all of Group members. Siddique Khandwani Sahib led our group spiritually and motivated all the time with his strong intellectual leadership. With his guidance and with support of his team members especially Umer, Ibrahim, Usman and Mufti Sahib, we completed this Hajj rituals seamlessly, May Allah accept this Hajj for all of us. May Allah bless Siddique Khandwani Sahib and his team more strength. I am also thankful to wife of Siddique Khandwani Sahib who led our wives with sincerity and honesty. In the end I am once again thankful to Al Khandwani International Group and all Hajj 2023 group members. Jazak Allah Al Khair.
Khandwani sahib All is well if end is well.our Haj group starting on 22nd came to an end in 9th July .

Dear All
We reached home safely yesterday Alhamdulillah!
I cannot thank Allah enough for giving us this great opportunity to perform Hajj and for making it a pleasant and wonderful experience for all of us Subhan Allah.
Looking at the messages, I think the whole group agrees that the credit to make our hajj and our stay a great blessing and an experience of a lifetime, goes to Dr sahab, Maryam and their beautiful children Umar, Usman, Ibrahim and little sweet Mohammed.
I am lost for words to express my feelings and real gratitude for this wonderful, kind, hardworking, loving and caring family mashaAllah. They all worked around the clock to make our stay pleasant and comfortable for us.
May Allah give them ajar e azeem for their kindness and good work and grant them all a long life filled to the brim with joy, happiness, good health, success, prosperity and all the best of deen o dunia ameen.
Lots and lots of dua
Completely agree! Words truly can not do justice for all the things that Dr. Siddiqui sb, his team and his family did to make our Hajj a lifetime of an experience. Alhumdulilah!
May Allah reward the entire team with the best of his blessings in this world and the hereafter and make them successful in every phase of life,ameen!
Special thanks to Khandwani brothers, mashAllah the energy these kids (Umar, Usman, Ibrahim and Muhammad) have was amazing as they were not only running the operations but also were always available to help us out 24/7.
Lastly due to them, we also met our bigger community. SMAK (Ali Kazmi 😉 ), sohaib bhai, Asif, Saad, Fahad, Sami bhai, Arslan, Hamza, our famous and beloved Kaju walay uncle, taimoor, asad, Umair bhai and all the brothers in the group. It was great meeting you and learning from you all. May Allah reunite us again in this world for Hajj again and also in Jannah. Ameen!
Dear Khandwani Team, Obviously words can’t do justice for your restless efforts and dedication. May Allah reward you all in both worlds and give you continuous opportunity for your offerings in coming years.
Dear Saddique bhai and family,

سب سے پہلے اللّہ تعالیٰ کےشکر گزار ہیں کہ جس نے ہم خاکساروں کو حج کا فریضہ ادا کرنے کیلئے چنا۔
پچھلے کئی برس سے حج ادا کرنے کی جستجو تھی اور اللّہ تعالیٰ سے دعاگو تھے کہ خوش اسلوبی سے فریضہ حج ادا ہو جائے اور اچھے ساتھی سفر میں ساتھ ہوں بفضلِ رب العزت دعا قبول ہوئی اور رب العزت نے کھانڈوانی فیملی سے لاجوڑا الحمدللہ ثم الحمدللہ ۔
اللّہ نے ایک آواز میں جمع ہونے والے ساتھیوں کا ساتھ دیا اللّہ تعالیٰ سے دعا ہے کہ جنت الفردوس میں بھی ہم سب کو اپنے پیاروں کے ساتھ جمع کریں آمین
جزاک اللہ خیرا کثیرا صدیق بھائی و اہلیہ عمربھائ،ابراہیم بھائ،عثمان بھائ،محمدبھائ اور تمام حج کے ساتھیوں پر اللہ کی بے شمار رحمتیں آمین ۔

Respected Siddique sahib aoa. Hope you to be all well. Thanks for a very religiously motivated Haj and excellent arrangements. I have not seen any tour operator to personally involve in all the affairs and may God bless you and your family always, ameen
Assalamualikum DR Siddiq Khandwani sahab. I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation for the learning of the spiritual journey we just completed with you. It was by far the best journey I had in my life. From the start at Jeddah airport to our final destination in Madinah airport, you have continuously supported us, surprised us and walked us through the whole process like a true leader that you are, and we had to bear no hardships at all. I am glad to have been chosen to be a part of AKI family and I cannot thank Allah enough to have made the right decision for us. Thanks to you and your family that faced hardships to provide us a comfortable experience. I look forward to many more learning trips with you. If I have done or said anything knowingly/unknowingly to hurt you, please do forgive me and remember me in your Duas. Inshallah I will see you when you get back to Karachi, In sha Allah.
Dear Siddiq Bhai,
I thought I’d write the note of thanks once I am back home, but I can’t hold back for longer.
From the day I signed up with AKI for Hajj till saying goodbyes at the Medina airport, the experience has been unbelievably pleasant. Your dedication, work ethic, care for Hujjaj, attention to detail and pleasant surprises occasionally, are something I have never seen before. You took care of everything for us throughout the journey, which made it easy for us to focus on execution of the arkaan e hajj and not worry about anything else.
The presence of not only yourself but also of your family members to support us throughout was simply phenomenal.
The learning experience for me was amazing. I learned a lot not just about Hajj but also about many other aspects of life.
My family and I would like to thank you and your entire family and team for this amazing “Journey of a lifetime”.
Our prayers are with you, and I look forward to seeing you and your family again on such future journeys.
Dear Siddique Bhai, Umar and AKI team
I am feeling blessed that I were part of AKI family for this Hajj. Alhamdulliah you and your team had made this easy for us. And you were successful in this. I have learnt true customer service and leadership from you and AKI team. Your knowledge, clarity and thinking process to manage the obstacles was simply amazing and outstanding.
Please pray for us in your prayer. I wish you and AKI shines always as a rising star.
Dr Muhammad Siddiq Khandwani Sir you and your whole family have literally spoon-fed us all the steps and guided us all as big brother . You were available on our every single msg and not only to us but to other group members, peons and bell boys. That’s what makes you special, sir. Not only that but the experience where to park buses and how to resolve the issue at very moment is your KPI . I on behalf of my family would like to thank you all also for this amazing journey and a very good time. May Allah bless you all and yes i am always available here if you guys need any Shangrila Foods products ( till i am there)
Jazak Allah to all of you Siddiq bhai, bhabhi, Umer, Usman, Ibrahim & Muhammad. You all are true leaders. May Allah bless you all with peace, happiness and prosperity in life and hereafter.
Thank you very much for organising our journey in such a wonderful manner. You brought easiness for us, may Allah bring easiness for your family, here and after.
Your commitment to work and value for that commitment is something i have not seen before.
Indeed, a spiritual and learning experience.
JazakAllah
Al khandwani is real travel and tours company Mr Siddiqe sb of ceo this company is one of greatest people Allah pak shower his counless blessing on him … Ameen…

I went to umrah through Alkhandwani Int. Travel & Tours and it was great. Everything was pre-manged
Have performed Hajj with Al Khandwani in 2006. Their services are best. Staff is very friendly just like family members. 100% recommended.
I’ve performed Hajj with them, it was absolute comfort and ease throughout the Hajj. The sprit of their services and dedication was remarkable. We have not only performed Hajj. We learned how to perform Hajj with them they have provided us the Guidance of Ulama throughout the Hajj period. The Accommodation, Transport and food was best in class. If Allah Subhana Ta’ala Gives me another chance I’ll only choose AKI I would like to recommend all of my friends and relatives whenever they plan for Hajj or Umrah must go with AKI May Allah bless AKI Success
One of the best Travel company in my experienced.. They give us family atmosphere in whole trip. Allah Always give them success.
I have no words to express but only ” The Best of the Best”. Special Thanks to: Subhan, Azher and all Al Khandwani Family. May Allah Bless them (Ameen). Highly Recommended. (Montréal, Canada)
Thank you and appreciate all the efforts made by whole AKI team during Hajj 2019. Very professional and reliable services. 5 stars! JazakAllah khair
Last year went for hajj with them. I must say it was an Excellent experience. would highly recommend them.
We went to Hajj for the first time this year. We were very excited about our journey to all of the sacred places but being a first timer we did not know what to expect. Alhamdoillah, Right away from the airport to our hotel they were there to help us out. Excellent hotel, camps and transport facilities. They treated us with utmost respect and we felt like we are all one family. I would highly recommend Alkhandwani. Thank you for everything that you have done for us and for all the families. Jazakallahu Khairan.
Alhamdulillah , I am travelling on regular basis every year on Hajj and Umera Journey with Alkhandwani international. Every member of AKI team does not treat you a customer but like a family member. I am thankful to Allah to bless me with such a nice and cooperative travelling companions. I wish them all the very best for their future endeavours.
Travelled for Hajj in July 2022 with them and found them to be professional and accommodating, as well versed with local issues and their solutions. I chose them because I had travelled with them before too and the experience was more than satisfactory!
Would highly recommend them.
Highly recommended for hajj operations. Very good service. Knowledgeable and professional people. Guided very well throughout the tour and all arrangements were practical, well managed.
First and foremost, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil aalamin for this wonderful journey.
It’s hard to describe feelings in words. We didn’t expect this journey to be that wonderful.
Allah taala bless you, Dr. Sahab, Mrs. Khandwani and your entire team immensely.
Umar, Ibrahim, Imtiaz bhai, and the whole staff were super supportive and caring at all times.
Although Makkah and Madinah hotel stays were great in their own ways but the top highlight was our stay and Azizia. Gatherings, meetings, combined trips, meals, lectures, learnings, laughs, jokes, fun. Made great memories.
Congratulations to AKI team for successfully accomplishing a great hajj 2024 for their hujjaj.
Lots of Duas for all the hujjaj families. May we stay strong in our transformations.
Jazakallah, love you all
Shoaib Ahmed, Ausaf Ahmed, Nasira Ausaf
Alhamdullillah on our way to Jeddah airport. On behalf of my Mum; Mahnaz Khan and my Khala; Farhana Raza, and I, we would like to thank everyone for this amazing Hajj experience alhamdullillah.
Special thanks to Dr Sahb, Imtiaz Bhai, Umar Bhai and Ibrahim for taking special care of us, as well as all the entire AKI staff during this Hajj experience. Alhamdullillah I learnt alot of lessons during this Hajj experience and hope to implement them in my life going ahead.
Even though this was a short trip, we all managed to develop some strong friendships and inshaAllah I intend to keep them thriving.
Alhamdullillah we were all selectively invited by Allah to perform Hajj this year, so there must be a specific reason why each and everyone of us was chosen for this journey. InshaAllah we are all able to capitalise on the opportunity given, to better ourselves in the future.
It is a very sad feeling leaving the Holy Lands, but we leave with the intention that Allah SWT will invite us back again very soon, and many more times in the future inshaAllah.
Went to umrah before that also went to Hajj with Siddique bhai of Al Khandwani
Amazingly luxurious experience which I can bet no one would give you

I had an amazing experience with AKI The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and they helped me plan the perfect holiday. From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to plan a great trip.
Our Hajj 2023 journey with Dr. Siddiqui’s Al-Khandwani International was truly unforgettable. From meticulous planning to seamless execution, every detail was expertly managed. Dr. Siddiqui and his team provided exceptional support, from visa processing to spiritual preparation. Their knowledgeable guidance, especially from Dr. Siddiqui, his family, and Mufti Sheikh Muhammad, enriched every ritual, fostering unity and a sense of AKI family. The experience was life-changing, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a meaningful Hajj. May Allah bless them and us with success and reunite us in Jannah. Ameen!
Experiencing Hajj with the best traveling tour group was an extraordinary and deeply emotional journey. The group’s exceptional organization and heartfelt care ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus entirely on our spiritual duties. From the insightful guidance to the thoughtful accommodations, every detail was handled with grace and expertise.
The sense of community we felt, praying and reflecting together, created lasting bonds and profound memories. The journey was spiritually enriching and flawlessly executed, making it an unforgettable pilgrimage that deepened my faith and filled my heart with peace. Choosing this tour group was the best decision for my Hajj experience. Jazakallah khair AKI TEAM

My wife and I recently completed Hajj 1445 with Al-Khandwani International, and we are immensely grateful. Dr. Siddiqui, his family, and their team provided exceptional, personalized service amidst the challenges of this year’s pilgrimage, including visa issues and extreme heat. Their professionalism, spiritual guidance, and attention to detail made our journey unforgettable. The intimate group size fostered a strong sense of community, and we felt supported every step of the way. AKI is more than just a service provider; they are lifelong supporters. We highly recommend them to anyone considering Hajj.
Wishing AKI continued success and blessings, and hoping that more pilgrims can benefit from their exceptional service in the future
Saying goodbye to Medina and our AKI family. It was wonderful 17 days and made friends and brothers for life, iA. Missing all the AKI family. Wish them all save travels and return to their destinations, iA.
We knew Dr. Sahab was busy wanted to say goodbye to him in person. But, thanks for the call Dr. Sahab. May Allah reward you and your family and all your crew for this great work.
Wa’Salaam Aliekum!
– Atlanta, USA
Assalam o Alaikum
With a very heavy heart saying Allah Hafiz to all AKI family members …
We are just leaving from Madina..
Blessed to meet you all and taking lifetime memories with me.
Very special thanks with the bottom of my heart to Maryam Apaa, Doctor Sahab, Omer, Ibrahim, and Mohammad for warm welcome and hospitality and always there for us 😇
All the beautiful memories just rushed through my mind. It had been a very blessed journey with the most beautiful people.
I’m so grateful to Allah swt and AKI family
May Allah swt bless Dr Siddiqui’s family for their endless efforts, support, and guidance throughout our journey, and ofcourse all the wonderful people I met in this journey. I pray for you all from the bottom of my heart.
AKI team and the Dr. Siddique family, I completely realize how much hard work and challenges you experienced, especially with Saudi Arabia’s nonsensical government. It was not an easy effort to deal with the Saudi government. However, Your entire crew deserved a big round of applause, and we highly appreciate your expertise, from the meticulous planning to the execution, you did your best and showed your commitment to ensuring the best and most memorable experience for all the pilgrims.Thank you for going above and beyond to make Hajj 2024 memorable for us. Your passion for creating a meaningful and spiritually enriching journey for all of us did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for all your efforts that you have made. Cheers to your ongoing success, and may your amazing work continue to inspire others. Again, we want to thank you for all of your effort and commitment.
Our Hajj journey with Al-Khandwani International was truly exceptional. From our initial call to Dr. Siddiqui to the final drop-off at Madina, the care and dedication shown by Dr. Siddiqui, his family, and the AKI team were remarkable. Their kindness and tireless support made every moment seamless, allowing us to focus on our worship. Special thanks to his sons, Umar, Ibrahim, and young Mohammed, whose genuine love for serving Hujjaj was inspiring. We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience and would gladly embark on another Hajj with AKI again, in sha Allah.
I will forever be grateful to Dr. Siddiq Khandwani, Mariam Baji, Umer Bhai, Ibrahim Bhai, and Muhammad Yousaf for their remarkable leadership, from logistics to the well-being of each participant, making the entire journey seamless and stress-free.
I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of this extraordinary group, each person adding a unique and cherished memory to this spiritual journey. This journey will forever hold a special place in my heart. How I will miss, Aziziya days, Mina Walks and Haram meetups.
My Hajj experience with Al-Khandwani International (AKI) was exceptional. From the pre-departure seminars to the meticulous travel arrangements, AKI made sure everything was seamlessly planned. The guidance from Dr. Siddiqui and his team throughout the rituals was invaluable, and their constant support allowed us to focus on worship without worry. The comfortable accommodations, well-coordinated transport, and nourishing meals made the pilgrimage smooth and stress-free. AKI’s attention to detail and dedication to the pilgrims’ well-being enriched my spiritual journey. I highly recommend AKI for anyone planning their Hajj pilgrimage—truly a memorable and fulfilling experience.
A big round of applause to AKI teams members specifically Mr. Omer, Mr. Imtiaz, Ms. Marium and last but not the least Dr. Sahab. Thank you for making the efforts to most and giving the comfort level to everyone and making us feel better and happy in all stages of the Hajj journey. May Allah bring increase in the rizq and peace for your family with lot of happiness and blessings
الحمدللہ، اللہ کے فضل و کرم سے ہمارا حج بہت آسانی اور سکون سے گزرا، اور اس کا سہرا “اے کے آئی” اور محترم ڈاکٹر صدیق کھنڈوانی صاحب اور ان کی فیملی کو جاتا ہے۔ ان کی بہترین رہنمائی اور خدمت نے ہمیں ہر مرحلے پر سہولت فراہم کی۔ ان کا خلوص اور محبت ہر قدم پر محسوس ہوئی۔ امتیاز صاحب، شیخ محمد اور دیگر عملہ بھی ہمیشہ ہماری مدد کے لیے موجود رہا۔ اللہ “اے کے آئی” فیملی کو جزائے خیر دے اور ان کی خدمات کو صدقہ جاریہ بنائے۔ دعاؤں میں یاد رکھیں۔
Alhamdulillah, we’ve safely returned to Minnesota, reflecting on an unforgettable Hajj experience with AKI. Huge thanks to Dr. Siddiqui for his exceptional leadership, Umer for flawlessly managing logistics, and Ibrahim, Muhammad, and Maryam Baji for their constant support. The entire AKI team, including Mufti Muhammad, Abdul Rehman, and Imtiaz Bhai, made our journey smooth and memorable. We’re grateful for the fellow Hujjaj who became like family, sharing meals, walks, and moments of worship. May Allah bless the AKI team and accept all our Hajj. Truly grateful for this remarkable experience!
I had an experience of travelling since 14 years back for Hajj in 2010 and now this year in August 2024 for performing Umrah with my family. They provided very personalised service according to budget and requirements. They have candid opinion in describing the actual reality on ground wrt to distance, cost and quality of accommodation. i.e. Benefits are worth paying It was nice experience and I would like to go again with them if Allah again invite me in His Home.
