Finance halal travel. Not cash loans.

Halal tourism is one of the fastest-growing travel categories — and it needs capital

Pilgrimage is only the starting point. Muslim travellers increasingly book family holidays, Ramadan & Eid trips, business, heritage and medical travel around the world — and agencies across the whole halal-travel value chain face the same prepayment gap.

Saudi Arabia is scaling tourism toward its 150-million-visit target for 2030, with religious tourism approaching 30 million pilgrimage visits to Mecca and Medina — and Umrah has become a year-round flow rather than a single season. Banks still under-serve travel agencies with real, verifiable travel assets, and AI is now making that verification affordable — which is why Khatt aims to be the most specialised financial layer for halal tourism, competing on speed, trust and industry data, not on rate alone.

Where the demand is: Umrah (year-round) · Hajj (annual peak) · Ramadan & Eid travel · halal family holidays · business & MICE travel · medical travel · heritage tours · diaspora travel (Europe/US → Gulf/Asia).

These are third-party market projections, not Khatt Capital's own forecasts or commitments; figures require validation against Khatt's own pilot data.

Your business needs capital before your travellers pay

Agencies aren't turning away demand — they're turning away sales they can't afford to prepay for.

Hotels, transport, airlines and other travel suppliers demand prepayment weeks to months ahead of departure — typically 20–50% upfront — across Umrah, Hajj, Ramadan & Eid travel, family holidays and business groups.

Client payments often arrive only during or after the trip itself — in instalments or on delivery — creating a structural cash-flow gap for the agency.

Banks are largely closed to travel agencies: real-estate collateral is required, and decisions take 4–8 weeks.

Informal capital fills the gap today — but costs 12–20% per cycle (in some cases quoted at 30–50% annualized), is opaque and can disappear right when it's needed most.

One line of capital. Five simple steps.

A hybrid sharia-compliant structure — murabaha for goods, ijara mawsufa fi al-dhimma (forward lease) for hotel nights, transport and flights, wa'd mulzim (binding promise) and wakala (agency as purchasing agent). Tawarruq is fully excluded. The same structure covers Umrah, Hajj, Ramadan & Eid travel, halal family holidays, business groups and medical travel.

  1. Talk

    A 20-minute call: your licence/accreditation (Nusuk/Maqam for Hajj & Umrah, or the relevant local tourism licence for other halal-travel segments) and your booking plan.

  2. Verify

    We verify your confirmed bookings — hotel, transport, flight or package (BRN for Hajj/Umrah) — this is the collateral, not real estate.

  3. Agree

    AI risk scoring, one framework agreement, price known upfront, contracts structured to AAOIFI standards, pending sharia certification.

  4. We pay

    Direct payment to suppliers on your schedule.

  5. You repay

    One payment after the trip; a clean repayment builds your credit file and renews your limit for the next cycle in 48 hours.

From first call to funding: 7 days.

One product architecture, seven facilities

We start with Hajj and Umrah as our beachhead, but the product architecture is built for the whole of halal tourism from day one.

Umrah Rolling Facilitya standing limit for regular Umrah bookings, renewed year-round
Hajj Peak Facilitya large limit for the high annual Hajj peak
Halal Travel Supplier Paypayment to hotels, transport, DMCs and halal-leisure suppliers
Hotel Allotment Financefinancing for room-block deposits
Air Block Financefinancing for airline seat blocks and group PNRs
Ramadan / Eid Facilitya short-term limit for holiday peaks
MICE & Group Travel Financefinancing for corporate and group travel

Evidence base: verified booking · invoice · supplier confirmation · client deposit · payment flow · repayment history.

A fixed, transparent cost — known before you sign

Total costSAR 150,000

For comparison: informal capital costs 12–20% per cycle with no contract. Bank murabaha can be cheaper on paper, but requires real-estate collateral and 4–8 weeks — and most travel agencies are declined.

Financing is subject to eligibility, verification of bookings and final sharia-certified documentation.

Halal by design — not by disclaimer

Khatt Capital is built on real trade, not disguised lending. Every contract is approved by an independent sharia supervisory board under AAOIFI standards, with an annual audit. Funds are paid only to suppliers against real, verified bookings. A late payment triggers a charitable contribution — never interest or penalty charges.
