Unlike basic packages, Taqwa Tours ensures you connect with Islamic history. Our Texas Group Packages include comprehensive guided tours.

- Jannat al-Mu’alla: The burial place of Khadijah (RA).
In Madinah:
- Masjid Quba: The first mosque of Islam. If one offers two Rakat at this place then the reward is as of a full Umrah.
