From a Dream in 1979 to a Global Vision for 2030
There are stories that begin with ambition — and then there are those born from faith.
Safiya Travels began as the latter.
In 1979, inside a modest travel desk in Mumbai, a simple dream took flight — not to sell tickets, but to create journeys that mattered. It was a dream woven with sincerity, faith, and deep respect for human connection. That dream was named Safiya Travels. What started as a humble endeavor soon grew into one of India’s most trusted travel networks. Today, with over 32 branches and thousands of travellers served every month, Safiya remains rooted in the same principle that shaped its beginning — a heart that beats for people, not profits. For families, not figures. For memories, not milestones.
A Legacy of Faith and Hospitality in the Kingdom
In 1987, Safiya crossed its first border — into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It wasn’t just an expansion; it was an embrace.
Here, in the land where faith meets hospitality, Safiya found a second home. The Kingdom became the bridge connecting two nations — India and Saudi Arabia — bound by devotion, trust, and shared human spirit.
When the world paused during the pandemic, Safiya’s operations slowed, but its spirit never did. And in 2023, Safiya returned to Saudi Arabia stronger and more purposeful than ever.
Today, more than 75,000 travellers from India journey to Saudi Arabia every year through Safiya — including 25,000 Umrah pilgrims who entrust their sacred voyage to the brand’s care. Because for Safiya, service is not just about logistics — it’s faith in action, hospitality from the heart.
Unveiling Saudi Arabia to the World
As Saudi Arabia redefines the future through Vision 2030, Safiya Travels is aligning its compass toward the same horizon. No longer just a travel brand, it is evolving into a cultural ambassador — one that unveils the Kingdom’s unseen beauty to the world.
From its golden deserts to its futuristic skylines, from its timeless traditions to its youthful pulse, Safiya is introducing travellers to a Saudi Arabia they’ve never known — a nation of warmth, wonder, and welcome.
By 2028, Safiya aspires to host over 200,000 visitors annually, including 75,000 Umrah pilgrims, through carefully crafted experiences that blend spirituality with serenity. Through Safiya Holidays, every traveller is offered something rare — a home away from home.
In 2025, the launch of Safiya Holidays marked a powerful evolution, from a travel company into a complete global ecosystem with new verticals in:
- Online Travel Platform (OTA)
- Holidays & Destination Management
- Medical Tourism & Global Patient Care
- Manpower Recruitment & HR Solutions
- MICE & Event Management
