Duʿāʾ for travel
The supplications of the traveler — said when setting out and upon reaching an unfamiliar place — placing the journey, and the one who makes it, in Allah’s keeping.
Subḥāna alladhī — starting a journey When setting out
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ
"Glory is to the One who has subjected this to us, for we could never have accomplished it ourselves. And truly, to our Lord we will return."

Allāhumma Rabba as-samāwāt — entering a town Upon reaching an unfamiliar place
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ، أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا
"O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and what they cover, Lord of the seven earths and what they carry — I ask You for the good of this town and the good of its people."
