Darussalam Holdings Spreads Wings To Iran

Darussalam Holdings added another destination to its list of tout packages focusing on Islam; this time around it is Iran. The government-owned company has spread its wings from managing a range of Hajj and Umrah packages to organising tour packages to international destinations.

Since 2006, it has organised tours to Istanbul, Shanghai and Beijing.

Darussalam Holdings recently said that it aims to be the leading Islamic tour operator in the Sultanate by putting together tour packages focusing on Islamic historical places.

For 2007-2008, the company, a subsidiary of TAIB, said it will be organising tours to a number of countries such as Uzbekistan, Iran, Egypt and Jordan.

A group of Islamic travel and tour agencies from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore went on a seven-day familiarisation trip to the Islamic Republic of Iran from August 1-8, 2007.
