But my husband hasn’t smiled in weeks. We need to go — even if it’s just for one night.” By 7PM, they were packed. By 10PM, they were in a cottage 90 minutes away. No TV. No WiFi. Just firewood, blankets, and each other. “That one night saved us,” she told us later. ✨ This Is Your Monday Reminder If you’re reading this today — May 5 — And you’ve told yourself: “It’s too late,” Let us tell you the truth: It’s not too late. ✅ Day trips still available ✅ Overnight breaks waiting for you ✅ Hidden gems within 2 hours of London, Leeds, Bradford & more 🗺️ Where Could You Be By Tomorrow?

How the Early May Bank Holiday Became the Reset One Family Didn’t Know They Needed It’s Monday night. The kids are brushing their teeth. The bags are zipped. And for once, Sarah isn’t dreading tomorrow. Because this Tuesday isn’t like the others. It’s the Early May Bank Holiday.

Just enough time to remember how to breathe again. ☀️ A Case Study in Simple Escapes Last Thursday, Sarah reached out to Justintime Travels UK in a moment of quiet panic. “We need something close, peaceful, and family-friendly. We can’t fly, but we need to feel far from here.” We had the answer. 🗺️ A short-break cottage in Windermere 🚗 Just 2.5 hours’ drive from West Yorkshire 🌿 Nature trails, slow mornings, and digital silence She booked it the same night. 🌿 When “One Day Off” Feels Like a Lifeline Now it’s Tuesday morning.

🌙 “I Want My Father to See the Kaaba Before He Forgets My Name”
Why More Families Are Pre-Booking Umrah & Holy Land Tours Before Eid The phone call comes just after Asr. A young man — calm, quiet — asks if we still have any Umrah packages for later this year. We tell him yes. He pauses. Then says, almost in a whisper: “I want to take my dad. Before he forgets who I am completely.” His father is battling early-stage dementia. He’s still strong enough to travel. Still lucid during prayer. But the son knows — time is not something they can delay. 🕋 Why Umrah Pre-Booking Matters (Especially Before Eid) Many Nigerian families are now pre-booking their spiritual journeys for later this year — even if they’re not traveling during this current Ramadan or Eid. Why? Because flights fill fast. Because visa processing takes time. And because — sometimes — waiting too long means missing the moment. Whether it’s Umrah in Makkah, or a Holy Land Tour of Jerusalem and Jordan, the opportunity to walk where prophets walked is not just a trip. It’s a spiritual gift. ✈️ Popular Destinations We’re Pre-Booking Right Now: Makkah & Madinah (Umrah): Group and private packages, including hotel, visa, and guides. Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jordan: Explore Al-Aqsa, Mount Nebo, and more with trusted Muslim guides. Special Eid Al-Adha Departures: Reserve your spot now for July & August 2025 pilgrimages. ➡️ Explore Current Umrah Packages ➡️ Holy Land Tour Enquiry 💬 Real Families, Real Stories Fatima and Yusuf from Abuja took their 70-year-old mother on Umrah last year. She had saved for it her whole life — but never felt confident to plan alone. Fatima tells us: “Justintime Travels didn’t just book a package. They guided us like family. My mum cried when she saw the Kaaba. She says she can die in peace now.” 📆 Why You Should Book Now Even if your trip is months away, early planning means lower costs, better accommodation, and guaranteed seats. And more importantly — it means your family can prepare spiritually without last-minute stress. During this sacred season, many are moved to reconnect with Allah. Let’s make sure the intention becomes action. 🙏 Pre-Eid Blessings Begin with Intention Whether it’s your first Umrah… Your last trip with an elderly parent… Or a chance to walk the Holy Land with your children… Let’s plan it together. 🕌 Pre-book your Umrah or Holy Land Tour today. 💼 Justintime Travels Nigeria – Faithful Journeys, Made Easy Extra Resources: How to Prepare for Umrah – MuslimPro Guide Top Holy Land Sites for Muslim Pilgrims

🕋 How to Prepare for Umrah: A Journey of Faith and Planning
A Justintime Travels Nigeria x MuslimPro Inspired Guide When Hajia Aminat makes her booking, it’s not just a trip. It’s a promise to herself. A spiritual reset. A chance to whisper her prayers at the Kaaba, and feel peace that the world cannot offer. But before the calm, there is preparation. At Justintime Travels Nigeria, we see this journey every day — not just the logistics, but the emotion behind it. That’s why we’ve put together this MuslimPro-inspired guide, based on real cases we’ve helped with, to support you or your loved one as you prepare for Umrah. 🌙 Step 1: Start With Intention – and Information “I knew why I wanted to go. I just didn’t know how.” That’s what Hajia Aminat told us during her consultation in Abuja. She had the savings. She had the will. But the process felt overwhelming. We broke it down for her: Passport validity: Minimum 6 months from travel date Recent passport-sized photographs with white background Proof of vaccination (especially meningitis and COVID) A Mahram (if required, depending on travel rules and age) → Saudi Arabia’s Official Umrah Guidelines ✈️ Step 2: Choose the Right Travel Package Some travellers want a simple, spiritual stay. Others want a luxury experience with guided tours and scholars. At Justintime Travels Nigeria, we offer: Budget, standard, and VIP Umrah packages Group and private Umrah options Visa processing support Local support in Mecca and Medina For Hajia Aminat, we recommended a 10-day package with a Nigerian guide, modest hotel close to Masjid al-Haram, and a pre-departure checklist. She left with a printed guide — and peace of mind. 📿 Step 3: Pack Like a Pilgrim You don’t need to overpack for Umrah. But there are essentials every pilgrim should bring: Ihram garments (2 white towels for men, modest dresses and hijabs for women) Comfortable slippers Unscented soap and toiletries Pocket Quran or mobile Quran app like MuslimPro Dua book or journal Prayer mat and water bottle We send our clients a digital and printable checklist to make this easy. → Download Our Umrah Packing List 💛 Step 4: Prepare the Heart Yes, it’s a trip. But more than that, it’s a calling. We advise clients to: Write down personal duas ahead of time Ask family and friends for prayer requests Let go of debts or grudges before departure Learn basic Arabic phrases for Umrah rituals Reflect and journal during the journey Many of our travellers use MuslimPro to track prayer times, read duas, and navigate Mecca. ✨ “When I Stepped into the Masjid, I Forgot Every Worry.” Hajia Aminat sends us voice notes now. “Justintime, I can’t thank you enough. I was scared I’d do it wrong. But you guided me every step. When I saw the Kaaba for the first time, I just cried. It wasn’t a trip. It was a new beginning.” 🌍 Your Umrah Journey Starts Here From Lagos to Mecca, from uncertainty to complete serenity — We’re here for you.

Travel Documents Organizer One of the most important items for any first-time adventurer is a travel documents organizer.

This simple yet effective tool will save you time and prevent unnecessary stress during your trip. For more on travel documents, check out our Essential Travel Tips. 3. Power Bank for First-Time Adventurers Never let your devices run out of battery while traveling! A power bank is a must-have for first-time adventurers who rely on their phones for navigation, communication, and capturing memories. Choose one with a high capacity to charge your devices multiple times, ensuring you’re always connected throughout your journey. 4. Portable Water Bottle Staying hydrated is essential when traveling. A reusable water bottle will save you money and reduce your environmental impact. Look for one that is lightweight, easy to carry, and capable of keeping your drink cool or warm for hours. A portable water bottle is one of the best Travel Must-Haves for First-Time Adventurers. 5. Travel Pillow for Long Journeys Long flights, bus rides, and train journeys can be uncomfortable, especially for first-time adventurers. A travel pillow will provide the support your neck needs to get some rest while traveling. Opt for a compact and inflatable version to save space in your bag, or choose a memory foam pillow for superior comfort. Learn more in our Travel Comfort Guide. 6. Multi-Adapter Plug If you’re traveling internationally, a multi-adapter plug is a necessity. Different countries have different types of electrical outlets, and a universal adapter will ensure that your devices are always powered up. Be sure to choose a travel adapter that works in all the countries you plan to visit, so you’re never left without power. Check out our Essential Travel Gear for more insights. 7. First Aid Kit for Peace of Mind While it’s not something you hope to use, a first aid kit is a travel must-have. Accidents and illnesses can happen on any trip, so it’s important to be prepared. Pack essentials like pain relievers, band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any personal medication you may need. A well-stocked first aid kit provides peace of mind during your travels. 8. Comfortable Footwear Comfortable, sturdy shoes are a must for any first-time adventurer. Whether you’re hiking, walking around city streets, or simply exploring, your feet need support. Look for shoes that are breathable, durable, and suitable for various types of terrain. You’ll be on your feet a lot, so investing in good footwear will make your trip far more enjoyable. Learn more about comfortable travel footwear. 9. Camera or Smartphone with a Good Camera Documenting your adventures is a must for first-time adventurers.

Whether you’re capturing beautiful landscapes or cultural moments, having a good camera ensures you can relive your journey long after it’s over. 10. Snacks for the Journey While traveling, you may find yourself hungry between meals, especially on long flights or during excursions.
