Allah’s Prophet Muhammad (Peace
Be Upon Him) stated:
“One Umrah is an expiation for
the sins committed between it and another Umrah.”
(Muslim, Bukhari)
In the Arabic language, the word
Umrah is derived from Itimaar which means a visit. It is also called lesser
pilgrimage and the Hajj is the major pilgrimage. Hajj is compulsory for all
Muslim who can afford it. Umrah can be performed at any time of year except for
the 5 days of Hajj.
Millions of Muslims travel to
Holy places with the intention of Umrah from all across the world. Most of the
pilgrims perform Umrah with the Umrah Package With Flights
because they can get all facilities with these packages which make their Umrah
perfect. People can get such packages from travel agencies.
What people do for
selecting a good travel agency?
People should select a good
Muslim travel agency and they should check that whether this agency is
affiliated with the Ministry of Hajj of the Saudi Kingdom or not. In this
world, there are many sources to find the best travel agency. Anyone can ask
other people who have already visited Saudi Arabia for performing Umrah. He/she
can ask people about the performance of travel agencies.
People should always find a
travel agency which is ATOL protected and if anyone has chosen such agency which
is not ATOL protected then he/she can face some difficulties during the Umrah
journey.
People cannot get Umrah Visa
individually because Saudi Arabia does not give Umrah Visa to people without
travel agencies. Most of Agencies offer Umrah Package to people with
the Umrah Visa but it is not essential for people that they only get Umrah
Package with Umrah Visa.
Umrah Package:
Firstly, a person should decide
how many days he/she will stay in Saudi Arabia for Umrah.
Secondly, a person should decide
that he/she go to Umrah with a group or alone. If he/she travels with a group
then he/she should know about the nature of the group’s members that he/she can
easily perform Umrah.
What people can get in Umrah
Package?
1. Hotels
Agencies offer their customers
3-Star Hotels, 4-Star Hotels, and 5-Star Hotels. If the pilgrim is performing
Umrah with his family then he should book the 5-Star Hotel because it is the
best offer for him. If the pilgrims have no much money then he should book a
3-Star hotel or 4-Star hotel.
2. Flights
Pilgrim can easily get the cheapest flight where he/she wants to depart and arrive for Umrah journey.
People can choose direct flights and indirect flights, the rate of direct
flights are some expensive and the rate of indirect flights are cheapest.
Sometime pilgrim can get a direct flight at the rate of indirect flight in
Cheap Umrah Packages.
3. Room Sharing Plan
It all depends on the pilgrim that
he/she wants to stay in a hotel with a sharing basis. A man cannot live with a
non-Mahram woman and a woman cannot live with a non-Mahram man. A woman can
only live with a woman and a man can only live with a man.
4. Transportation
A pilgrim can get private
transport, which may be proved helpful during the Ziyarats, the pilgrim can easily
reach the hotel from the airport.

then he/she should keep in the mind all the above points at the time of searching a
travel agency for Umrah.
