    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 511/308/D=1432)

    She cannot travel without a mahram. It is mentioned in a hadith:
    لا تسافر امرأة ثلاثاً إلا و معها محرم . (اخرجه البخارى 2/54)
    A woman should not travel for more than 48 miles except with a Mahram relative.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
