From Dubai to Wandoor
Our Story: From Dubai to Wandoor
Every family in Malappuram who has sent a parent or a loved one for Umrah knows the same quiet worry: will they be taken care of? For more than two decades, that question has been answered for thousands of pilgrims by Al Shammar Umrah in Dubai. In 2026, we decided it was time to bring that same answer home to Wandoor, to Malappuram, to the families who deserved it just as much.
Shammar Travels was born from a simple realization. Kerala has one of the largest Muslim populations performing Umrah every year, yet most families were booking through agents in Kochi, Kozhikode, or even through unfamiliar names online far from home, far from their language, and often far from accountability. We knew there was a better way, because we had already built it in Dubai. So we opened our doors on Kalikavu Road in Wandoor, right opposite the Town Square, and began offering the same standard of Umrah care that Al Shammar Umrah had spent 20+ years perfecting in the Gulf except this time, in Malayalam, with Malayali food, and with a team that understands exactly what a Kerala family needs before, during, and after the journey.
Al Shammar Umrah, Dubai The Foundation Behind Our Name
Shammar Travels is not a standalone startup guessing its way through the Umrah business. We are backed by Al Shammar Umrah, Dubai, UAE, our head office, which has spent over two decades serving pilgrims across Dubai, Sharjah, and the wider UAE with VIP, standard, and economy Umrah packages, fast visa processing, and experienced multilingual guides.
That two-decade foundation is what allows us to promise things most new travel agencies simply cannot — confirmed hotel arrangements near Masjid al-Haram, dependable visa processing timelines, and a level of operational experience that comes only from having organized this exact journey thousands of times before. When you book with Shammar Travels in Wandoor, you are not just booking with a local office you are booking with the Kerala extension of a Dubai-based Umrah agency that has already earned the trust of thousands of pilgrims across the Gulf.
Our MissioN
Our mission is simple:
to make Umrah accessible, affordable, and worry-free for every Malayali Muslim family whether that’s a young couple performing their first Umrah together, a mosque committee organizing a group trip, or children sending their elderly parents on the journey they’ve waited a lifetime for. We exist so that no family in Malappuram, Calicut, or Palakkad has to navigate this sacred journey through an agent who doesn’t speak their language or understand their concerns.
