Get Special Offers on Umrah packages in December
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictMillions of Muslims living in different parts of the
world make their journey to the holy city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia to perform
their Umrah every year. This Islamic pilgrimage is often referred to as the
'lesser pilgrimage' or the 'minor pilgrimage'. The 'greater pilgrimage' is
Hajj, which is also one of Islam's five pillars and an obligation for every
Muslim. Performing Umrah is not compulsory for Muslims. However, it is highly
recommended, as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The
greater pilgrimage is performed in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, while the lesser
pilgrimage can be performed at any time during the year.
For Muslims living in countries that are faced with
extreme winters, the opportunities for Umrah December packages offer can help
them escape the chilly weather of their home country and make their journey to
the holy city of Makkah. The climate of this city in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia would be highly pleasant for them during this time of the year, which
offers them great comfort while performing their lesser pilgrimage. Visiting
all the places of great importance in and around the holy city after performing
their Umrah can also be a pleasure for them in the month of December.
In the last week of December, most of the educational
institutions and commercial establishments are closed for Christmas and New
Year celebrations. Muslims belonging to the working class can book Umrah
packages in December for this time of the year and benefit from these holidays.
They can visit the holy city of Makkah along with their family members for
accomplishing their lesser pilgrimage. It would be a wonderful idea to take
children their children along with them as they can be introduced to Umrah and
its rituals at an early age. This would help them in the later years when they
perform the lesser pilgrimage as adults.
December is also a wonderful time for discounts. Many
of the tour operators that specialise in the Islamic religious tours of Hajj
and Umrah offer special discounts on packages for the lesser pilgrimage in the
month of December. The best deals for December

would be an excellent opportunity for prospective pilgrims to save more on
their packages. Savings thus made can be utilised by the pilgrims to buy
souvenirs from the local markets or to explore interesting places after
performing the lesser pilgrimage.
While the climate of Makkah in the month of December
may be extremely pleasant for the pilgrims coming from countries facing a
chilly climate with extreme cold and snowfall, there are many from tropical
countries who avoid visiting the holy city in December. The reason for this is
that the weather may be too cold for them. This reduces crowds of pilgrims in
this month to some extent, resulting in a drop of hotel room rates. Muslims who
go for high-end packages in this month can get accommodations in any of the
5-star hotels located close to the Masjid al-Haram without any hassles.

the prospective pilgrims can reduce the costs involved in their pilgrimage to a
great extent.
