Labbaik Travel

A bilingual travel website and booking platform for a Mecca-and-Medina operator: hotels near the Haram, guided visits and trips across the Kingdom, a Build-Your-Own-Trip planner, and an admin that imports the sister site's catalogue and manages listings, photos and enquiries.

01 The Challenge

Labbaik's customers plan from abroad, in Arabic or English, on a phone, around a fixed arrival date. The goal was to make hotels, transfers and trips comparable and bookable in one flow, and to give a small operations team an admin they could run on their own.

02 Our Approach

  • Next.js 16 App Router with React 19, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS 4; Drizzle ORM on PostgreSQL, with an embedded PGlite database so the project runs anywhere with zero setup.
  • Build-Your-Own-Trip: hotel, dates, transfers and visits assembled into a single request the team can quote.
  • Catalogue import that pulls the sister site's trips with photos and Arabic copy, and keeps each trip's published, featured and sort settings when re-run.
  • Full right-to-left Arabic set in Tajawal, English in Inter, on a red / black / white brand system.
  • AWS S3 for uploads, SES for transactional email, OTP-protected admin sign-in; the first visit to /admin creates the super admin.

03 The Results

  • Live at labbaiktravel.sa in English and Arabic, with browser-language routing.
  • One admin for hotels, transfers, trips, photos and enquiries.
  • Sample listings clearly flagged, so the client could launch before the full inventory landed.
