What happens with excess or oversized luggage?

The operator's published baggage guidelines do not state an excess-baggage fee or a policy for items over the size and weight limits. Luggage passes a security check before boarding, so plan on travelling within the published allowance — anything beyond it is at the operator's discretion.

What does this mean for Umrah luggage?

The allowance is per passenger, not per family. In practice for a typical Umrah group:

• A family of five can check five pieces in total — one each, within 25 kg and 65 × 55 × 35 cm.
• Bulky extras — Zamzam containers, gift boxes, strollers — count against the same single-piece allowance if they exceed hand-luggage size.
• You also carry everything yourself between the platform, the station hall, and your onward transport at both ends.

The door-to-door alternative

A private transfer takes the whole load in one vehicle, hotel to hotel: our vans carry up to 10 passengers with up to 10 bags, with no per-piece weight rule and no station legs. For a solo traveller with one light bag, the train's allowance is rarely a problem — the trade-off matters most for families and groups.
