Start with the total, not the headline
Check whether a displayed price is per person or per room, which room occupancy it assumes and which travel dates it covers. Ask for the full payable amount for your group, including mandatory fees, before making a decision.
Flights and accommodation
Confirm departure and arrival airports, airlines, connection times and baggage allowances. For accommodation, compare the exact hotel, room type, meals and nights in each city. Ask about the practical route to the mosque; a distance alone may not tell the whole story.
Transfers and support
Find out whether airport and intercity transport is private or shared, and what happens if a flight is delayed. If guiding or visits are mentioned, ask what is actually included and who provides it. Do not assume a photograph or general description forms part of the booking.
Protection and cancellation
Establish who your contract is with and what booking protection applies to that particular arrangement. Ask for the payment schedule and cancellation terms before you pay. Check any ATOL claim using the official ATOL service; a logo on a website is not a substitute for verifying the details.
