Umrah: Begin Your Holy Journey to Makkah and Medina

Umrah is a sacred pilgrimage to Makkah and Medina in Saudi Arabia that can be performed at any time of the year. Although not obligatory like Hajj, Umrah holds immense spiritual value, drawing Muslims closer to Allah through devotion and reflection. Many Muslims choose to perform Umrah during Ramadan, especially around Eid al-Fitr, as it is particularly rewarding in this holy month.

What is Umrah?

Umrah, often called the “minor pilgrimage,” differs from Hajj, one of the five Pillars of Islam. While Hajj has specific dates, you can perform Umrah at any time, allowing for flexibility and ease of planning. Here are the main steps involved in Umrah:

• Ihram: Entering a state of purity, marked by wearing simple white garments.
• Tawaf: Circling the Kaaba seven times as a mark of devotion.
• Sa’i: Walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa, commemorating Hagar’s search for water.
• Dua: Making heartfelt supplications at each step, seeking Allah’s blessings.

If you’re new to Umrah travel, our detailed Umrah guide explains each step and provides specific prayers to help you complete the pilgrimage with ease.
