Umrah by Road-Doha Transportation Group

Hello Everyone,

I just want know how your experience with Doha Transportation Group was when you went for Umrah by road (Bus).
If someone is planning or booked through with them for future Umrah, I would strogly advice to reconsider their transportation arrangements.
My Experience was "HORRIBLE" because of following reasons

1. They are not well organized, let alone being professionals.
2. They increased the rate after visa approval being granted by SA.
3. Their buses are not comfortable for long ride.
4. Drivers are tired of being over worked and forced to drive without ample rest.
5. Drivers are being not professional and smoked cigarettes through out the journey.
6. Hotel they advertised was not like that, Rooms were not cleaned, sheets were not chnged since last guest left, and there was no one who could understand your issues at the hotel.
7. There was no Doha Transportation Groups representative with the group who could provide any help if someone need any... now I know why there wasn't anyone present from DTG.
8. They changed the schedule with out telling anyone in the group.
9. Hotel in Madina was notch higher in worst ever, dirty, not lit properly; bathrooms were master pieces of filthiness.
10. Over all worst experience ever, I would recommend everyone who is thinking about getting their services to think twice and if you are taking family with you, then I have two words for you “GOOD LUCK".

Please share your experience I want see if it just happened to us or it is DTG standard treatment.
Thanks

In 2007 When I traveled to KSA for performing Umrah it was good not as bad as you are telling. I heared that they have increased their opertions may be this is the cause.

Best of Luck

To them who will travel with DTG in future....

By the way you have chosen cheap services then you will get low class treatment from the Hamla...
