Testimonials / Hajee's Past Experiences


Dear Mumtaz, Just a mail to say thanks for organizing a wonderful holiday
in Cape Town. The hotel was superb and we loved the breakfast every day.
The flights were on time and excellent. Thanks again
Khalid Shaikh


This was my very first trip abroad. The mirage team made it as comfortable
as possible, cared for us, was always willing to assist, and was always
visible when we needed them. My hajj 1432 was a dream that i thought was
impossible, but allah(swt) invited us and you were chosen to be my guides.
I thank allah(swt) for making this possible. You were exceptional, understanding
and caring. My duas are that you and the team progress and continue with
this work for many many more years to come.

As-Salaam-O-Alaykum
My wife, Shahida & I are back at work and are very slowly getting
into the work routine after enjoying 6 weeks in the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia.
Allhamdulliah we experienced a very successful and wonderful Hajj 2011
/1432, we carry with us a lifetime of fond memories. Hajj is indeed a
very difficult “Journey of Love” but we were very fortunate
that The All Mighty Allah (SWT) made it very easy for us by using His
“Helpers” and they came in the form of the “Sure Mirage
Travel Team”. This journey is a logistical nightmare and full marks
to your Logistic Team on the ground who pulled it off so smoothly.
I will remember this trip not just as a business venture with “Sure
Mirage Travels” but surely as a formation of a new family, may you
grow from strength to strength.

To Shuaib Mamode, Directors and the Management staff of
Mirage Travel
I would like to thank you on behalf of the PE group on a very successful
and well organised Umrah trip we experienced during our visit to Makkah
and Medina. During the June school holidays of 2011.Everything that was
promised to us we received and the fact that you were somewhere in the
surroundings and always on standby, made everything more easier. I will
not hesitate in future Insha-Allah to contact you should I wish to undertake
a similar journey and to tell family and friends. What a joy it is to
travel with Mirage Travel. Please convey this message to all that was
involved.
Shukran to you and much appreciated

Assalaamu Alaikum. We want to place on record our appreciation

The staff were prompt and very efficient. Our special thanks to you, Iqram
and Shuaib for all your calling and arrangements. May Almighty Allah reward
you all with long life, good health, happiness, contentment and prosperity,
Insha – Allah.
We are looking forward to performing Haj in 2012, Insha-Allah. We will

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to congratulate Sure
Mirage on the excellent service rendered by your dedicated staff who went
over the line of duty to make our first Umrah an unforgettable experience.
The high standard customer services and professionalism shown by Brother
Iqram Sheikh was splendid. From our planning stages Iqram was helpful
assisting us in choosing the right package. In Makkah and Madina Iqram
was always by our side always checking if everything was ok and if we
needed anything. He was always helping everyone in our group doing more
than expected. On one occasion he even got off the bus when we were going
shopping to go to the hospital to assist another family in their time
of need.
Preparing for our Umrah Iqram held meetings at the hotel to talk to
us about what needs to be done, what not to do, how to tire ihram etc.
Ziyaraats were filled with historic knowledge and talks by a Moulana which
was organized by your Iqram again. Our stay could not have been made more
comfortable, Accommodation was fantastic, flight arrangements were done
perfectly and we had no problems that iqram could not handle. Iqram wife
was also assisting all the time making sure that everyone was comfortable
and ok. Whatever he had promised was delivered and much much more.We make
dua that Allah reward him and his family for their kindness and selflessness.
I Once again like to congratulate Sure Mirage on the great service delivery
and great staff they employ. I will most definitely be using Sure Mirage
for my next trip and recommend Sure to anyone traveling Insha Allah.

As salaamuwailaykum, to one and all at Mirage Travel.
Alhamdullillah by the blessing and command of Allah another Haj soon dawns
upon us. Last year this time we were running around meeting and greeting,
but it was the wonderful service and hospitality of Mirage that with Allahs
help gave us peace of mind and heart. My wifes Haj and mine was one of
remembrance for a lifetime.
We make dua Allah accepts it for our aakhirah. Jazaakumullah
for the team at Mirage who made this possible not forgetting our creator.
Of all the personal at Mirage one such brother, may Allah grant us such
muhabbat that it remains in jannah. With Allahs order and command and
this brothers unselfishness, assistance to us and all other hujjaj was
absolutely heart warming and beyond expectations.
He went out of his way, inconveniencing himself for our
convenience. He made us feel as if we were the only people he had to assist
and see to, but with his personality and way of communication this was
rendered to every hujjaj. This goes with no doubt in saying that he is
an extra-ordinary person in an ordinary world.
May Allah guide him, except all his duas and desires,
best health and abode is the highest stage of jannah. Brother, jazaakallah
wa ahsanal jazah in your outstanding service, friendship that has been
bonded from this mubarak trip of haj, and making our faraiz a memorable
one, spiritually, physically and mentally. Allah increase you all in strength
and guide one and all in rendering such outstanding service. Those hujjaj
that will be going with mirage and having the assistance of your team.

Since our return from Saudi in December we have spent many happy hours
reflecting on our Hajj 2009 experience. Alhamdulillah it was a most memorable
and blessed period in our lives and we are so grateful to have taken this
trip with Sure Mirage Travel, with whom we were very satisfied and impressed.
From the outset our journey was very capably facilitated when Irshad
met us at Madinah airport & whisked us into a taxi. We experienced
no delays and arrived at our hotel in short shrift. Our hotel was very
comfortable and convenient and we experienced an excellent stay in this
wonderful city.
However the accommodation in Makkah exceeded all our expectations- the
Royal Orchard hotel represented real value for money. We were able to
devote all our energies to our Ibadah because we had nothing else to worry
about – the Mirage staff took care of everything else.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff that we
came into contact with for the assistance rendered to us. However, Irshad,
Ashraf, Irfaan and Yaasin warrant a special mention for their dedication,
patience and commitment to excellent service. May Allah grant to all of
you good on this earth and good in the hereafter Insha’Allah.
Sure Mirage remains our Hajj/Umrah agent of choice. We hope to use them
in the near future to arrange an Umrah, Insha’Allah. And we would
certainly recommend them to others.

As-Salaamu-alaikum, Alhumdu-lillah we thank Allah (SWT) for having invited
us to his house, and we thank Hajee Imtiaz Malek and his team, who had
guaranteed and most certainly provided us with a spectacular unforgettable
experience of a lifetime, Our 1st Hajj Trip. Shukr to the Mirage team
for a well executed journey.
Alhumdu-lillah, from the time that we had bid our farewells to our families
at Durban International Airport, Before embarking on our life changing
experience, we were humbly received by Hajee Imtaiz and his team.
This is where it had all started, From Durban, To Dubai, Hence reached
The Beautiful Madinatul Munawwarah, Where we had received a very warm
welcome by Hajee Irshaad at the airport. The accommodation that was selected,
were of Excellent Standards, Soofara Al Huda (close proximity, 2 min walk
to the Haram) at Madinah, And, Al Safwah Royal Orchard (situated literally
on the marble of the Haram – Immediately next to Zam-Zam Towers)
in Makkah. Both of which displayed phenomenal views of the Haram.
We were then moved to Azzizia Mirage Suites ( which is of a 3km radius
from the Haram) a little prior to the 5 Days of Hajj. The Mirage Suites
were well managed by the Mirage Team meeting our every possible need.
It brings tears to my eyes to think how blissfully we had passed the
5 days of our Hajj.
The Mirage Team had excelled time and time again in displaying true selflessness
by sacrificing their comfort in satisfying every need of the individual.
It gives me great pleasure in saying that I will whole heartedly recommend
the Sure Mirage Travel Team to all future Hajjees.
May Allah grant you the peace and joy we had experienced throughout our
Hajj with Sure Mirage Travel INSHALLAH!!!

and Madinah ...as promised.

It is with great pleasure to say that I enjoyed my lifetime achievement
, and that is going on hajj together with my wife, mother , 4 aunties
and 2 cousins. I contacted Irfaan Malek over 1 year before and he guided
me throughout . He helped me with choosing the right package. Whatever
he promised me he delivered. When my elderly aunty got sick they escorted
me with my aunty by taxi to the doctor and made sure we were treated in
the correct manner.
Whenever Irshaad Malek saw me in the hotel lobby or in the streets, always
asked me if everything is alright. Moulana Tariqe and Mouland Vanker were
excellent in guiding us to the the Roza Mubarak and Haram for the first
time and taking us for Ziyarads in Medina and Mecca. The travel arrangements
as excellent. There was no delays with flights and busses.
I remember in Mina it rained very heavy, Irshaad and Irfaan was pushing
the water away in the heavy rain to prevent the water from coming into
the tents. We were also guided in a human chain when stoning the shathan
and at the end of everything they made sure everybody was encounted for
and that nobody got lost.
I intend going for Umra in December and definitely will be travelling
with Mirage.
I wish the management and staff of Mirage Travel all the best in the
next hajj and I advise anybody who intends going for hajj to use Mirage
Travel.

As it is normal for every new Hujaaj embarking on a spiritual journey
of Hajj, my husband and I both found ourselves feeling anxious and overwhelmed
by the mere thought of making this journey to the Holy Mubarak Lands.
We were filled with thoughts of whether or not we would choose the right
agent or would we choose the right package and Allhamdulillah all we can
say is that Allah (SWT) guides you every step of the way in making the
best decision that is right for you.
Our Hajj 2009 will always be the most memorable experience of our lives
as being our First Hajj and going with the Sure Mirage Group has been
nothing but a heart warming and exceptional experience for both my husband
and I and we consider ourselves blessed to have made this first journey
of ours with the group and all the other Hujaaj that were with us on the
trip.
The relationships formed and the bonds created will stay in our hearts
forever . The guides that accompanied us were there with us every step
of the way, the service from Irfaan Malek and others was nothing compared
to excellent. From the moment you enter the offices of the Sure Mirage
Travel Group you are given the best advice and at no point were we forced
or was pressure put on us to make a decision straight away. I must commend
Irfaan Malek on his commitment, dedication and especially for his patience
in having to endure countless questions and most of all dealing with repetitive
ones in a calm and willing manner.
To the Group the decision to travel with You has not been in Vain, you
are an agent of choice and we are thankful that we made the journey with
you. Hajj is an experience only you can make for yourself. You have a
choice to go with the flow and enjoy it or you can complain and not enjoy
it. An agent is a means of getting you there and sourcing your accommodation,
the rest is up to you. I make dua that Allah (SWT) guides and protects
all prospective Hujaaj and us in all future trips to the Holy Lands Insha-Allah.
I will undoubtedly hang on tight to the Fond memories of my Hajj experience,
but I must be honest and admit that as I browse through the packages that
are out now I cant help but wish it was me going all over again. May allah
accept all our duas Insha-Allah and make it easy for our entire muslim
Ummah to Perform the Fardh of Hajj Ameen.

Our Hajj experience was unparalleled.
Mirage Travel took care of our every need in a totally
professional and efficient manner, leaving us free to focus on our spiritual
enrichment. Their guidance and expertise which they shared so freely,
truly added a special dimension to what was undoubtedly our “Journey
of a Lifetime.”

With regards to my hajj experience in 2009. Since this
was my 3rd hajj and i have my previous hajj to compare. I was highly impressed
with the excellent way in which the entire trip was handled, it was the
easiest hajj ever, we were spoon fed step by step by the agents. Whatever
was promised was delivered more than our expectations.
This was the most memorable, unforgetable hajj, it was
a breeze especially for the first timers who could not believe the hassle
free hajj they experienced.
I intend using Mirage Travel again and will recommend
each and every hujaj to utilize this agent for the unbelievable extra
mile they go to please each and every one on the trip. Hats off to the
agents and their staff for the over efficient service.

Our Haj trip was well planned and co-ordinated by Mirage
Travel, who were always present and willing to assist with any issues,
and even assisted us on our first Umrah at 3 a.m which we really appreciated!
The Mirage team was easily accessible and a pleasure to
deal with, and the programmes / lectures by the Maulana's were invaluable.
JazakAllah for a wonderful Haj experience!
