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.
