It  is with great pleasure that I pen down my gratitude to Iqra Travels & Tours for organising our Umrah trip in December 2019, Alhamdulila. With the grace of God, we (my husband, sister and I) had a very rewarding and comfortable trip to the holy cities which was organised by Iqra and the services provided was excellent. A special mention must be made to Mr Nabawi Jaseem who liaised with us patiently and promptly and accommodated all our requests to the best he could. He always contacted us while we were in Mecca and Medina to ensure everything was okay and his commitment to his clients is remarkable. We also had an excellent Mowlavi who guided us in Mecca. Ansari Mowlavi took the extra effort to make sure that we were guided properly while performing umrah and went the extra mile to check on us often to ensure that we were safe and comfortable. We highly recommend Iqra Travels and Tours to anyone who wishes to embark on this spiritual journey as they understand the importance and cater to the needs on a case to case basis with their dedicated team of experts. Once again, Jazakallah Iqra travels for your commendable service and may Allah reward you for all your efforts. Ameen!

Muneera Azmi Director IQ-EQ Corporate Services (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.

Overall Experience of our hajj can be rated as Very Good. The close customer service, guidance, resources provided helped us perform our Hajj to its best potential. Our Moulavi, Mazeer needs to be made special mention of. His Knowledge and guidance to do our Amals in line with Quran & hadith was useful. An area to improve is to give 2 options for Hajis’s (Economy Package & Luxury Package) for those who can afford & look for a bit more comfort. Nabavi has been excellent in his customer service skills with very prompt responses. JazakAllah! My wife & I enjoyed and optimized our Amal’s during our first Hajj.

IKram Ghazali Group Management Committee Hayleys Advantis Group

Alhamdulillah, I completed two Umrahs this year, courtesy of IQRA Travels, one with my wife and then with my parents after the Hajj season. I received exceptional all round service throughout both my journeys. With the budget I had in mind, they offered a variety of packages and finally tailor made a package that suited me best. Transport and food were looked into closely, and we enjoyed comfort at every point of our pilgrimage. The service on our first Umrah was of par excellence and so we followed the same conditions on our second Umrah as well. The fact that the head of IQRA Travels kept in touch and ensured we were fine at every step of the way, helped us tremendously and proved excellent customer service Masha Allah! Being a satisfied customer, I hope to travel with IQRA Travels for many years to come Insha Allah.

Hamza Lareef Director Platinum Packaging Industries

Alhamdulillah we (My wife & myself) were very much satisfied with our Hajj tour. IQRA Travels was able to fulfill all the necessary elements in a Hajj tour from the Visa application phase to lodging & food. Our stay in Makkah was splendid where we were only a short walk away from the Haram Courtyard. The Food Provided was excellent, we felt like we never left home. Our tent in mina was Muallim No 10 which made it very easy to go to and fro to the Jamarat. Further, since we had lodging in Aziziya, we could walk back from our tent in mina to Aziziya. Most importantly we had an excellent Moulavi for our group who kept our spirituality charged with his timely sermons & easy to understand language. I would most definitely recommend IQRA Travels to Friends & Family.

Ali Jishty Partner - Diamond Group

Overall Highlights are excellent Islamic and spiritual guidance, prime locations and a good professional group of Haji’s. Overall it was a good and rewarding experience. I really enjoyed the IQRA hospitality and the wonderful team of hajis. Islamic guidance and spiritual aspects were excellent. Overall Coordination, Management and Communication was good. Accommodation in prime locations were helpful. Food in most instances were good except Mina.

Nawas Mohammed (Katchi Mohammed)

Assalamu Alaikum Alhamdulillah I have found nothing that was hindering the Hajj experience too much. Alhamdulillah it was a pleasant experience for me and my family. JazakAllah Khairan to the IQRA Team for all their efforts.

Azam Shariff

Assalammu Alaikkum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu My wife, daughter and myself performed Hajj in year 2019 with IQRA Travels and Tours Pvt Ltd. We wish to state our comments as follows, 1. Very good accommodation in “Makkah and Madinah”, 2. Friendly Administration and Kind Co-operation, 3. Methodical Guidance by Good Ulamas, 4. Very good hygienic food and good supportive team. We wish the team of IQRA Travels a Bright Future, Specially Jeseem Haji, Cader Haji, Nabavi Haji, Nawas Haji, Furkhan Haji Etc and their Family Members too. JazakAllah Khairan

Ansar Jamaldeen Builder / Consultant Paramount Builders

Assalamu Alaikum Masha Allah, Alhamdulilah you as a team committed to make our performance perfect is a blessing not many are blessed with. The few that need fine tuning is the meals in mina and a better bedding space in Mina. Will always recommend to others on the service. Jazak Allah Hair

Ashfaq Sameer & Wife

Alhamdulilah guidance given to perform Hajj was fantastic. I really appreciate IQRA Group for the services provided by your team.

Azlam Farook

Overall very happy with the group. Appreciate that we have done the Hajj according to Quran and Hadith.

Amajard Mohamed

I am glad that I performed Hajj Pilgrimage this year (2018) for the first time with Iqra Travels. This Travel operator with great reputation and many years of experience, did his utmost to make our pilgrimage a success. Meticulous planning at every stage and early warning about the day to day situation in the Holy City, created awareness among pilgrims. This paved the way for performing Hajj rites, in it’s correct perspective. Special mention should be made about the Learned and honored Mowlavi from Iqra Travels, who enlightened us and gave us guidance by way of useful bayans and praiseworthy narrations at places of Islamic and historical interest in Mecca and Medina.

Brigadier (Retd) M. Z. Ishrath

Alhamdulillah the services and arrangements provided by Iqra Travels were integral in assisting us performing the rituals and ibadah of Hajj. They paid attention to every detail prior to even our departure and continued this till we were back home safely. The accommodation, food, transport and all other related aspects were coordinated very well and the entire team were extremely responsive and understanding. The Moulavi was very knowledgeable and effectively interacted with us to understand the purpose of the ibadah and rituals and guided us every step of the way to complete them in a meaningful manner to seek the pleasure of Allah. The management and team of Iqra helped us complete this extremely important obligation in a very satisfying and memorable manner. Jazakallahu Khairan and may Allah reward your efforts.

Hathim Sabry & Safiya Sabry Senior Manager – Ernst & Young - Sri Lanka

It is extremely gratifying to discover at long last an agency that truly understands the meaning of service. The service you have provided goes above and beyond anything we had experienced before. We are most grateful to you for making our blessed journey a memorable one. The amount of care you put in to ensure our comfort, such as providing with hotel accommodation in the Zam Zam Clock towers and the short length we had to walk to the Jamaarat, was greatly appreciated. Thank you for filling our days with experiences that we will forever cherish.

Dr. Abdullah Mohinadeen

“Iqra Travels made our Hajj a pleasant experience right from the time we first contacted them. They obliged with our special needs and helped us prepare for the journey. The hotels that were booked for us both at Mekkah and Medina were excellent, and both were only 5 minute walking distance the Haram. The Maulavi who accompanied us was a great resource and a guide enabling us to complete our Hajj closest to the Sunnah In Sha Allah.”

Imtiaz Ahmed Kamiss & Sherooza Kamiss Bangladesh

We went for our hajj in 2018 with Iqra Travels. The Hajj pilgrimage was an amazing and humbling experience.

From the time we confirmed our travel plans to the arrival in Colombo the coordination and organization was excellent. The facilities provided in Makkah and Medina were really good. The hotels were a 3 min walk to the haram and our rooms were facing the Kaba. The tents in Mina were close to the Jamarath. The tents were equipped with adequate Air Conditioners while for beddings, sofa beds were provided. Transport was excellent with luxury coaches provided for all travel. There was no shortage of food and water.

The management was always attentive to the needs of the pilgrims and took extra steps to make them feel safe and comfortable. Thank you Iqra for making our hajj a memorable experience.

Ziyam Kamil & Azhara Ismail

My husband and I had a blessed journey to Makkah in August 2018 to perform our first Hajj with Iqra travels. We were well taken care of and provided with the best in terms of hotels to food and transport. They made sure our hajj experience was one to cherish forever.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Tours to Moscow

Our Moscow tours are land only meaning that you arrange your own air travel to Russia and our expert staff meets you at the airport and handles everything else from there. Our online Airline Ticket booking system offers some of the most competitive rates to Russia available on the web so if you need tickets, please visit our Russian air ticket center .

Please remember that of all these tours are private and can be adjusted to your taste. You can add, replace or skip some sights; you can add more days to the package or cut the tour short. Our specialists will be glad to help you create the tour of your dreams!

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

Visit Moscow Tours are available not only in Moscow, but also in other cities: Saint Petersburg, Kazan, Suzdal and Sergiev Posad.  We also organise customised individual programs tailored just for you.

And we are very happy when our guests say that they will definitely come back to Russia and that they will tell all their friends how great Russia is! That is what inspires us to put even more dedication and hard work into our tours, knowing that what we do is positive and meaningful.

Our classic tours include tours of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, two main Russian cities.

Moscow is a big and busy  megalopolis and Russia’s capital city, where more than 12 million people live and work. Our capital city is happening place; it is mysterious, elegant, luxurious, fashionable, clean and bright, with its unique legends, traditions and events. It is with great pride that we show the Red Square and the Kremlin, our Underground and Tretyakovskaya Gallery, among other stunning attractions.

Saint Petersburg is our second capital,  the second largest city in the Russian Federation.

If you have a few more days to spare, venture into the dreamy Russian countryside in Suzdal or Sergiev Posad. Suzdal is a small town with a population of about ten thousand people, situated on less than 15 square kilometres. This tiny area is home to 53 historic cathedrals, five monasteries and a kremlin. Church domes are visible like mushrooms from anywhere and everywhere in the town like in a fairy tale. No wonder Suzdal is called the ‘Town Museum”.  It is definitely worth visiting!

NYC 5 Boro Bike Tour 2024: What cyclists need to know about riding the Staten Island Ferry

M ay 1—STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — On Sunday, May 5, the Staten Island Ferry will once again be called upon to bring cyclists back to Manhattan after the TD NYC Five Boro Bike Tour.

Last year, over 30,000 cyclists participated in the event, with many of them opting to take the ferry back home.

The 40-mile bike tour spans the city's five boroughs, beginning in Lower Manhattan and traveling briefly into the Bronx, before heading to Queens, Brooklyn and finally crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to conclude near the St. George Ferry Terminal.

Ferry crews are in for a busy day as the big orange boat offers the quickest way for Staten Islanders to reach the starting line and for everyone else to return to other parts of the city after completing the course.

The Staten Island Ferry will provide 30-minute service from 6 to 11 a.m. on Sunday. After that, the boat will run on a 15-minute schedule from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The ferry will then return to its regularly scheduled 30-minute service from 6 p.m. onward.

Bike New York, organizers of the Five Boro Bike Tour, noted that lines to take the ferry back to Manhattan could be long starting from the the early afternoon.

All cyclists must board the boat on the lower level at both the Whitehall Terminal in Manhattan and the St. George Terminal, located at 1 Bay St. on Staten Island.

Riders must dismount and walk their bicycle while in the waiting area and when boarding and departing the boat. Riding on and off the boat is prohibited.

All bicycles must be stored in the designated area on the lower level of each vessel.

The Staten Island Ferry is free of charge for all passengers and bicycles.

The Department of Transportation, the agency that operates the Staten Island Ferry, is not responsible for any stolen or damaged bicycles.

Riders may be subject to security screenings at the terminal.

Newfoundland faces health care staffing crunch after private agency won’t release its travel nurses

Newfoundland and Labrador health officials are facing a staffing crunch after a temporary nurse agency refused to let its nurses continue to work in the province for another employer.

Toronto-based Canadian Health Labs had two contracts to send registered nurses from other parts of Canada to hospitals and nursing homes in Newfoundland that were left severely short-handed because of the pandemic.

Under a mutual non-poaching clause in the contracts, CHL cannot hire away local workers and, in return, nurses that the agency sent to Newfoundland cannot be employed by local health authorities for a year after the end of a contract, unless the company gives permission in writing.

Six nurses and three other people with first-hand knowledge have told The Globe and Mail that CHL has refused to release interested nurses from the clause.

Four nurses interviewed by The Globe said they would have been willing to stay in Newfoundland and take a pay cut to work for the public system but were not allowed to by CFL.

In response to questions from The Globe, CHL e-mailed a short written statement stating that, “CHL’s contracts contain standard business terms.”

At the time that one contract expired on Tuesday, CHL provided 31 registered nurses to Newfoundland’s Central Health region, an area that includes Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor, two of the province’s largest towns.

Yvette Coffey, the president of Registered Nurses’ Union Newfoundland & Labrador, said the expiry of the Central contract and the province’s inability to retain CHL’s nurses will have an impact on care. Her union members in Central have not been informed what steps officials will take to remedy the loss of those 31 RNs.

“If they don’t have any relief, they’re either going to have to close services, or they’re not going to get any summer holidays,” she said in an interview.

She added that the nurses CHL has sent to the province since 2022 have become acquainted with local hospital protocols, and that some of them received further training in areas such as trauma nursing or pediatric life support at Newfoundland’s expense. “All that training and expertise is now gone.”

When CHL’s other major contract, signed with the Western Health region, concluded at the end of February, the 20 nurses the agency had in place couldn’t stay. Western Memorial Regional Hospital, in Corner Brook, imposed mandatory overtime on the remaining nurses, who initially had to work shifts of more than 20 hours.

In a Facebook Messenger group among themselves, nurses at the Corner Brook hospital regularly shared calls for volunteers to work extra hours. “We are short 2 rns tonight!” said an April 10 post. “Short 5 this morning SOS,” an April 12 message said.

Newfoundland Opposition calls on RCMP to intervene in private nursing deals

CHL is not the only temporary nursing agency with such contractual clauses with Newfoundland. However, its decision not to release the nurses is having the largest impact because it had been providing the bulk of travel nurses to the province.

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services would not give specific details when asked about the effect of the contracts’ expiration and CHL’s refusal to release the nurses.

CHL’s contracts with the province are now under review by Newfoundland’s Auditor-General after a February Globe investigation raised questions about the agency’s high prices and billing practices. Health Minister Tom Osborne has said that paying for temporary nurses, also known as travel nurses, is a “necessary evil” that he wants to end as promptly as possible.

The six nurses who spoke to The Globe said they attempted to continue working in Newfoundland, initially with another agency, Teal, but were told at the last minute that there was no consent from CHL.

Savannah Davidson was among the four who said they wanted to continue practising nursing in the province but could not. “We fell in love with Newfoundland. I have a partner here now and we want to make this our home. And now we’re being stopped,” she said.

CHL still has one contract in Newfoundland , ending in August, to provide five ER nurses to the Eastern Health region.

The no-poaching clauses also appear in CHL’s agreements in New Brunswick, where the agency is supplying more than 40 nurses to the Vitalité Health Network. The conditions of that deal are even more restrictive: Nurses sent by CHL cannot work for Vitalité for two years after the contract ends in 2026.

In an e-mail, Vitalité said it has stepped up recruitment efforts and “we are in a good position to gradually end the use of agencies by the winter of 2026.”

CHL’s contracts in New Brunswick are also being reviewed by that province’s Auditor-General.
