Bandar Seri Begawan - Straits Central Agencies (B) Sdn Bhd (SCA) is a travel agency which provides various holiday packages outside Brunei Darussalam for individuals, families, companies and government agencies. This also includes Haj Pilgrimage and Umrah packages to the holy cities of Mekkah and Medinah.

With the grace of Allah the Almighty, and with the close collaboration with the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia, SCA has managed to arrange and send the first batch of Bruneians to perform the Umrah for 2013.

The 50 or so Brunei delegation that will be performing the Umrah in the two holy cities have safely departed by using two separate flights on January 17 and 18.

They will be in the two holy cities for 13 days to perform their Umrah rituals and obligations before returning to Brunei Darussalam.

On behalf of SCA, we hope that all the Bruneian Umrah delegation is in good health while performing their Umrah rituals in both holy cities and pray for their safe return to the Sultanate.

At this juncture, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all Bruneian Umrah delegates for their trust in choosing Straits Central Agencies (B) Sdn Bhd; as their Umrah Package agency.

For the information of the muslimummah in Negara Brunei Darussalam, SCA, for the very first time will be organising an Umrah Package plus visit to Istanbul in the middle of February this year.

Those who are interested in the package, can visit Straits Central Agencies (B) Sdn Bhd at No 2, Ground Floor, Seri Anigma, Kg Kiulap, BE1515 or by calling the following numbers 2243800/2224054/2229356.
