Booking Umrah Packages in Advance Can Make Them Affordable
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictThe Islamic pilgrimages
of Hajj and Umrah are of great importance for Muslims across the world. While
Hajj is compulsory for all the Muslims who have the physical and financial
ability to undertake the pilgrimage, Umrah is not obligatory for them. It can
be performed at any time of the year and involves lesser rituals as compared to
the major pilgrimage of Hajj. In fact, Umrah can be accomplished within a few
hours owing to the lesser number of rituals involved. As it is the Sunnah of
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), this pilgrimage has a great significance
for Muslims all over the world.
For fulfilling their
dream of performing Umrah, many of the Muslims living in different parts of the
world embark on a journey from their homes to the holy city of Makkah in Saudi
Arabia. Those living in the United Kingdom can also fulfil their intention of
performing this pilgrimage with the help of Umrah packages that are offered by
many of the country’s tour operators. Most of these companies specialise in arranging
the Islamic religious tours of Hajj and Umrah and have been operating for many
years. This is the reason why they are trusted by numerous Muslims of the UK
and get many bookings every year.
Cost remains a major
concern for many of the prospective pilgrims in the country and they are often
on the lookout for cheap
Umrah packages that would make their journey more affordable. Fortunately,
there are many choices available for them in recent times. As many tour
operators or travel companies specialising in Islamic religious tours have come
up in the UK over the years, the costs of packages have come down to a great
extent. To reduce the cost of a package further and to make it even more
cost-effective, there are certain things that the UK Muslims can do while
searching for packages.
One of the most important
things they must keep in mind that they must compare the cost of different
packages. The key aspect of getting cheap Umrah packages booked is making
comparisons and choosing the one that provides pilgrims the best facilities at
an affordable cost. Reliability is also a major factor in this process. While
there are numerous tour operators in the UK, not all of them may be authorised
by Saudi Arabia’s Hajj Ministry. The number of years they have been in operation
and the feedbacks of their customers must also be considered.
Booking several months in
advance is the key to reduce the cost of packages by a significant amount.
However, this is possible only when the date of departure has been decided much
earlier and a tour operator and the desired package have been chosen well in
advance. Many of the tour operators or travel companies offer great reductions
on the cost of packages that they offer if the booking is made several months
earlier. This also gives pilgrims a great opportunity to have more savings for
their journey to the holy city of Makkah.
The Muslims of the UK can
also book Easter
Umrah packages in advance to accomplish their dream of performing the
lesser pilgrimage.
