Introduction

Virkauf DMC is a leading B2B Destination Management Company based in the UAE, proudly offering full-scale, ground-handling services across the UK, Europe, and Scandinavia. With years of expertise in managing FIT, GIT, and Group travel, we now extend our specialized services to Iraqi Umrah and religious tour operators looking to expand their offerings into Europe. Whether it’s post-Umrah leisure tours, Christian pilgrimage extensions, or Europe-based historical religious travel, Virkauf DMC is the strategic DMC partner Iraqi religious travel companies can trust.

Why Europe for Umrah and Religious Tour Extensions?

Many Iraqi travel agencies serving Umrah clients are now offering post-Umrah leisure or spiritual enhancement tours to Europe. Pilgrims returning from Saudi Arabia seek meaningful, culturally rich journeys that complement their spiritual experiences. Europe offers a multitude of religious landmarks, sacred sites, and peaceful environments – perfect for Iraqi clients wanting to continue their journey of faith and discovery.

With Christian, Islamic, and interfaith heritage spread across destinations like Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the UK, and the Balkans, Europe becomes a natural extension to the religious path.
