Umrah & Beyond: Travel Smarter with Points & Miles

What if your next Umrah cost you less than your dinner out… even in business class?

Sunday, November 8, 2026

8 PM London · 2 PM Chicago · 11 PM Makkah

FREE online talk on Discord

A Muslim woman flew home from Ramadan Umrah in business class for just £142.33 in taxes instead of £3,058.

Meet Elena Nikolova, the pioneering woman behind MuslimTravelGirl.com, who has spent 12 years showing Muslims how to perform DIY Umrah and travel smarter using points and miles. Elena is a solo mum who travels with her daughter — proof that Muslim women can pursue meaningful adventures, travel confidently, and make their money go further.

  • Reached over 2 million Muslims
  • Taught more than 1,000 students
  • Saved approximately £100,000 on her own flights
  • Featured by CNN, BBC, The New York Times, Lonely Planet, and Travel + Leisure

Elena will share how Muslim women can:

  • ✦Plan your own Umrah without relying entirely on expensive travel packages.
  • ✦Use airline points and miles to unlock better flights, including business class.
  • ✦Learn strategies for reducing hotel costs.
  • ✦Travel independently, confidently, and more affordably — even as a solo female traveler or mother.

This is more than a travel talk. It's about knowledge, confidence, financial wisdom, and opening doors you may never have imagined.

Why Real Sisters, Real Stories exists

Every sister is carrying a story. Most of them have never been told.

She might be a mother. A wife. A grandmother. A career woman climbing quietly, or an everyday worker holding her family together with two hands and endless du'a. From the outside, her life looks ordinary. But hidden inside it is a lesson someone else has been begging Allah for.

That is the secret of Real Sisters, Real Stories: what is common knowledge to one sister is the answer to another sister's problem.

So once a month, we gather — from all walks of life, from all corners of the world — and one of us shares her story. We never know who among us has been chosen by Allah to be the inspiration that night. It could be the speaker everyone expected. It could be the quiet sister whose one sentence follows you home. Only Allah knows. That is exactly why we keep showing up.

Sometimes the impact lands immediately — a heart softens right there on the call. Sometimes it takes weeks, months, before her words unfold in your life at the exact moment you need them. Both are from Allah. Both are why we gather.

And underneath it all, one purpose: that no sister ever believes she is alone in her problem, her grief, or her struggle. That there is an outlet. That there is a place where knowledge is shared and hearts are held.

Our du'a is simple — ya Allah, use us as instruments of change and inspiration for our sisters.

Because if one hour, once a month, can inspire, alleviate, and make even one heart feel lighter — then every effort of bringing sisters together across the world was worth it.

One story. One hour.
One heart at a time.
