Have More Benefits by Booking January Umrah Packages
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictThe climate of Makkah is of the hot desert type, which
means that the city is characterised by scorching temperatures during the
summers that often go beyond the 40-Degree Celsius mark. The winters are
relatively pleasant in this part of the world with rainfall occurring between
the months of November and January. It is during this time of the year that
most of the Muslims living in the countries of Northern Europe prefer to make
their journey to the holy city of Makkah for their Umrah. This Islamic
pilgrimage is also known among many of the Muslims across the world as the
'minor pilgrimage' or the 'lesser pilgrimage'.
For many of the Muslims, the opportunities for Umrah January month presents are
tremendous, largely because of the pleasant climate of Makkah during this time
of the year. It gives them greater convenience to perform all the rituals
associated with the minor pilgrimage. The rituals involved in Umrah are lesser
when compared to the major pilgrimage of Hajj and this is the reason why it is
often accomplished within a few hours. Numerous Muslims residing in the United
Kingdom also prefer to visit the holy city for performing their lesser
pilgrimage in the month of January.
Muslims living in the UK can book any of the January Umrah packages to make their
journey of Umrah comfortable and cost-effective. Over the years, many travel
companies or tour operators offering the religious tours of Hajj and Umrah have
come up in various parts of the country. This has given UK Muslims various
choices in terms of tour operators and the number of packages. An increase in
the number of tour operators has also resulted in reduced costs of the packages
owing to competition. However, before booking their packages, the UK Muslims
must make sure that the company they are booking their packages with are
reliable and have a good track record in customer satisfaction.
