During his 6 years studying the deen in Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdi Karim grew a strong love for visiting the holy masjids in Makkah and Madinah. Upon migrating to  Australia, he would often find himself talking to others about his times at the most holiest sites in Islam. Driven with the passion for others to not only hear about these experiences but to share them, he founded the Royal Umrah Group in 2012.

As many of the members of his umrah groups loved their experiences they often would ask if he could book their other travels. It was through his excellent service that he expanded his business to Royal Travel in where people can book their trips and visa to locations all around the world.
