In OmraDesk, travelers, room types and families are already in the files. Rooming is built without any import.
Discover OmraDeskAuto-allocation prioritizes family grouping then sex consistency. You can fine-tune manually with drag & drop after optimization.
Import or enter your pilgrim list (name, gender, family group), the available room inventory (singles, doubles, triples, quads…) and the tool proposes an allocation that respects three rules: families kept together, single-gender rooms (except spouses/mahram), and optimal inventory occupancy.
You then fine-tune special cases by drag & drop: preferences between pilgrims, an elderly pilgrim to room separately, a VIP. A quality score updates in real time and lists items to review: split families, partially empty rooms, mahram ratio issues. No account required, no data sent outside your browser.
Once the rooming is final, export or print it to send to the hotel or your ground handler.
Priority 1 — Family cohesion: two people sharing the same family group must land in the same room as long as capacity allows. If a family exceeds the room capacity, the algorithm splits them into adjacent rooms.
Priority 2 — Single-gender: a room contains either only women or only men, unless it contains exclusively married adults (a couple) or a mahram with their children. This rule is standard among Mecca/Medina hotels.
Priority 3 — Occupancy: minimise partially empty rooms — a triple with 2 pilgrims still costs the full triple price. The algorithm prefers reconfiguring over leaving a bed empty.
32 pilgrims: 4 full families (12 people), 8 couples (16), and 4 single women. Inventory: 4 quads, 4 triples, 4 doubles. The tool proposes: 4 quads for the families, 4 triples for 2 couples each (mixed-gender OK because married), 2 doubles for couples and 2 doubles for the 4 single women (2 per room). Quality score excellent, remaining rooms: 2 empty doubles to negotiate with the hotel.
For a one-off departure, the tool is all you need. In OmraDesk, rooming starts from pilgrims who are already in their bookings: families, booked rooms and hotel allotments are picked up with no import, and the rooming list joins your travel documents.
Create a single family group for the 3 of them. The algorithm groups them in the same room, a triple or a quad depending on your inventory. If needed, fine-tune afterwards by drag & drop.
Yes: after auto-allocation, drag the VIP into a dedicated single. The quality score updates automatically — if it creates an empty bed elsewhere, the tool flags it.
Yes: a single woman is never placed with a non-mahram man. Family groups (father/daughter, siblings, spouses) count as mahram and can share a room based on the family group declaration.
Adjust the inventory on the initial screen and re-run — the tool starts fresh. For a one-off adjustment, drag & drop directly in the result view.
Yes. You export the per-room list (room, type, name, gender, age, family group) or print it directly: the document is ready to send to the hotel or your ground handler.
