About Me

Family and Group Travel Specialist

My passion for travel, geography, history, culture, cuisine, and nature led me to begin my second career as a travel advisor. Before entering the travel industry, I worked as a Software Engineer and later as a substitute teacher. Those experiences shaped my attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and love of learning — qualities I now bring to every journey I plan.

My own travels throughout the United States and Canada, as well as my experiences in India and the Middle East, have deepened my appreciation for the way travel connects us with people, cultures, history, and the world around us.

My pilgrimage (Umrah) to Makkah was especially meaningful and became a source of strength and inspiration as I launched my travel business.

As a travel advisor, my goal is to make travel feel meaningful, well-planned, and as stress-free as possible. I believe travel can bring joy, create lasting memories, support our well-being, and give us opportunities to learn and experience something new.

I also enjoy creating family-friendly and educational travel experiences that combine fun, adventure, and learning. Traveling with children can be a wonderful opportunity to bring history, geography, culture, nature, and different ways of life to life beyond the classroom.

For every client, I provide personalized planning based on your travel style, interests, needs, and budget. When you book with me, you also receive a personalized web itinerary with your flights, hotels, transportation, activities, important trip details, and helpful travel tips — giving you one convenient place to access your travel plans.

Whether you are planning a custom family vacation, FIT itinerary, Umrah journey, Islamic heritage trip, small-group adventure, escorted tour, or a relaxing getaway, I am here to help you navigate the details and create a journey that is thoughtfully planned around you.

I look forward to helping you travel with confidence, create meaningful memories, and discover more of the world.

Umrah & Muslim Heritage Travel

My own Umrah became a source of strength and inspiration and led me to establish my travel business. I enjoy helping families and small groups plan meaningful Umrah journeys, assisting with flights, hotels, transportation, sightseeing, visa guidance and application assistance, and customized itineraries.

I also create Muslim heritage journeys that connect travelers with Islamic history, architecture, culture, and cuisine. My popular heritage journeys include Southern Spain and Turkey, where travelers can explore the rich legacy of Muslim civilizations while experiencing the beauty and culture of these destinations.

Worry free Umrah
Reviewed By Noman - Hilliard Ohio | Traveled to Saudi Arabia | Middle East
It was myself, my wife, and our four kids that went on Umrah with the help of Sister Zahira. She handled everything for us and made it as seamless as possible. From the tickets, to the hotel bookings, to the transportation, daily activities, everything was provided to us in detail. Sister Zahira is more than a travel agent--she is a friend who you can tell truly cares about your needs and wants. She accommodates as much of your requests as humanly possible and never complains! She came over to the house to provide that extra personable touch and gave us all goodie bags with needed items for the trip. We loved her custom Umrah guides with dua's for each step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about her or the company. Professional, hospitable, caring, compassionate, timely, accurate, and efficient. She took out all of the stress from planning to executing!
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

India & Thailand trip
Reviewed By Heather - Powell, OH | Traveled to India | Central Asia
I was able to find Zahira Shaik and Zasha World Travel by doing a google search for India & Thailand travel agents near Powell, OH. I'm really glad I used Zahira's services. I was traveling to a part of the world I had never been to and Zahira made it very easy to find safe accomodation and activities. She offered several options for every part of the trip and was able to customize everything, even the independent tours. She was even able to quickly reschedule our Indian part of the tour after we abruptly changed our mind on what we wanted to do. This on its own made me realize what a valuable partner she is. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. In addition, she stayed in contact with us throughout the entire trip and passed along info from the airlines and tour partners as needed. She provided an invaluable service and I felt very comfortable traveling to an unknown place. We had a wonderful time!

Client Testimonials

Syed Masudullah & Family Umrah, November 2024
My family and I had the pleasure of planning our Umrah and Turkey trip with Zasha World Travel, and the experience was truly exceptional. As first-time travelers for Umrah, we were unsure about the process, but Sister Zahira guided us every step of the way with patience and expertise. The travel arrangements were seamless, with carefully planned flights and hotels that were both convenient and comfortable. Zahira's planning ensured we could focus entirely on the spiritual aspects of our journey. What stood out the most was her attention to detail and her ability to anticipate our needs. From tips on sightseeing to practical advice for navigating the cities, she went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Zasha World Travel for anyone seeking a well-organized and personalized travel experience. Sister Zahira’s dedication and professionalism truly made a difference, and we are grateful for the positive memories created during this special journey.

Trip to Southern Spain in June 2024
Zahira helped our family plan a trip to the Andalusia region of Spain. None of us had been to the region before and we trusted Zahira completely. She was an indispensable resource in planning a family vacation that we will never forget. She meticulously planned the arrangements for 16 extended family members, between the ages of 2 and 80, separately flying in from 4 different locations on different itineraries. Zahira planned and advised all while considering the distinct needs of each person in our family. Her communication was excellent throughout the 6-month planning process, departure, travel within Spain, and return to the U.S. She ensured seamless communication with our guides in Spain, and was a tremendous resource for anything we needed. We look forward to working with Sister Zahira on our next family adventure!.

Umrah (Muslim pilgrimage)
We went for Umrah and to Turkey with Zasha World Travel and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Sr Zahira provided us with all the necessary tools to prepare for our Umrah. Everything went incredibly smoothly, Alhamdulillah! She created an itinerary on the Trip Plans app for our entire journey, which proved to be extremely handy and user-friendly. Turkey was a new experience for us, and Sr Zahira was attentive throughout, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction at every step. The hotels were excellent, and our stay was delightful. We highly recommend Zasha World Travel for their exceptional service. Thank you once again for making our trip truly special and enjoyable.'
