The strongest feature of Al-Ibrahim Travel’s December 2026 ISNA package is not its flight or hotel.
It is the group leadership.
The package lists Dr. Munir El Kassem together with Shaikh Mohammad Abdalaziz, Imam of ISNA, for the December 23 journey from Toronto.
That creates a clear option for Canadian pilgrims looking for both organized travel and scholar-led religious guidance.
Why might the Imam of ISNA matter to Canadian pilgrims?
ISNA is a familiar name within the Canadian Muslim community.
For travellers who already recognize the institution or its religious leadership, travelling with the Imam of ISNA can create an added sense of familiarity.
The practical value, however, is not simply the title.
The itinerary is designed so religious leadership is connected with the journey itself.
In Madinah, the published itinerary includes guided visits to important Islamic locations. Umrah in Makkah is also performed with group guidance.
Who else guides the group?
The package also lists Dr. Munir El Kassem.
That means the program is presented as a two-scholar guided journey rather than a tour where a religious speaker simply appears for one lecture.
Travellers considering the ISNA Imam Umrah package from Toronto should still confirm the latest itinerary and group-leader arrangements before booking.
What does the itinerary include?
The scheduled trip begins in Toronto on December 23, 2026.
The group flies with EgyptAir to Cairo.
On arrival, travellers are scheduled to take part in a complimentary Cairo Highlights Day Tour with sightseeing and lunch.
Later that day, the group flies to Madinah.
The program then includes four nights in Madinah and four nights in Makkah.
The itinerary is scheduled to conclude with Jummah in Makkah on January 1 before the group travels to Jeddah for the return flight.
Why is the timing unusual?
The journey crosses from 2026 into 2027.
According to the published itinerary, pilgrims spend December 31 in Makkah and begin January 1 with Jummah at Masjid al-Haram.
For families whose December holidays make travel easier, that timing may be particularly attractive.
