Essential Planning Tips

Important considerations when choosing your Umrah dates

Book Early

Reserve your Umrah package 3-6 months in advance, especially for Ramadan and peak seasons.

Consider Weather

Summer months can be extremely hot (40-50°C). Winter offers the most comfortable temperatures.

Avoid Crowds

For a more peaceful experience, avoid Ramadan, Hajj season, and school holidays.

Budget Planning

Prices are highest during Ramadan and lowest in summer months. Plan accordingly.

Health Considerations

Consult your doctor, get required vaccinations, and consider your physical fitness level.

Duration Planning

Allow 7-14 days for a complete Umrah experience including rest and additional worship time.
