About JD Travels
At JD Travels, our journey is about your journey.
We are a Cape Town-based travel agency dedicated to creating affordable yet high-quality travel experiences. Whether it is a leisure escape or a spiritually enriching Umrah, we handle all the details of the trip,so you can focus on making memories.
Founded in 2015 by Zubeir Jacobs and Ebrahim Diedericks, JD Travels was born from a shared passion for exploration and a commitment to seamless travel. Zubeir’s background in 5-star hospitality and local travel management ensures top-tier service, while Ebrahim’s extensive experience across the Middle East, having personally travelled this journey with youth groups – allows us to offer deeply immersive cultural and spiritual experiences.
While not all of our trips are Islamic-focused, we incorporate an element of Islamic history into destinations rich in heritage, offering a deeper connection to the places we visit. JD Travels began with the Middle East 3 Haram Tour, which remains our best-selling package to this day. Over the years, we have expanded beyond the Middle East, curating both leisure and Islamic-inspired trips across the globe.
From tracing Islamic history in Turkey, Spain, and Morocco to soaking in the vibrant energy of India or unwinding on Zanzibar’s pristine shores, we strive to create balanced itineraries that blend adventure, culture, and relaxation.
With tours running year-round, your next journey is always within reach. Let us take care of everything – your only job is to enjoy the experience.
