About the Maqam Global Distribution System 

Maqam is the GDS (global distribution system) introduced by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to digitize the full Umrah booking process and promote transparency and revive the Muslim pilgrimage experience. The system provides complete information of all Makkah and Madinah suppliers to approved e-commerce sites such as Funadiq.com to facilitate hassle-free and reliable pilgrimage bookings. 

As well, the system can link services, rates and bookings by consolidating products and services across all travel sectors, specific reservations for hotels, ground transportation, and meet and greet services to ensure pilgrims are getting confirmed bookings for the best price.
