OVERVIEW Yalla Haji is a verified

OVERVIEW Yalla Haji is a verified Hajj and Umrah marketplace connecting Indian pilgrims with trusted tour operators, alongside prayer times, a live translator, Qibla direction, and other pilgrimage tools. Live on iOS, Android, and web.

PROJECT BRIEF Planning Hajj or Umrah from India means navigating unverified agents, language barriers in Makkah and Madinah, and no single place for prayer times, guidance, and trusted bookings. Design a platform pilgrims can rely on for both trip planning and in-country support.

ROLE Product Designer

METHODS I designed two connected experiences: a pilgrim-facing app and a separate travel agent app for verified operators to manage their listings. On the pilgrim side, I designed a dashboard combining real-time prayer times by location, browsing and contacting verified agents, a Tawaf counter, Qibla compass, live Arabic-English translation, and an Islamic calendar with key dates. Every core screen was designed to work for a first-time pilgrim under stress, in an unfamiliar environment, with large touch targets and minimal steps for high-anxiety moments like emergency contacts and Qibla direction.
