Umrah Packages are Now Available at Reduced Costs
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictAlthough Umrah is not as important as Hajj in Islam,
it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is highly
recommended. Upon performing this pilgrimage, the pilgrim certainly gains
spiritually by the overall experience. This is the reason why many Muslims from
different parts of the world make their journey to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
to perform the lesser pilgrimage. However, there are many in this world who are
not capable physically or financially to undertake the journey. To reduce the
financial burden of Muslims that often comes in their way of performing the
pilgrimage, many travel companies or tour operators provide affordable packages
for Umrah in recent times.
Such Umrah
packages have also come as a great boon for numerous Muslims living in
different parts of the United Kingdom. Not so long ago, many of the country's
Muslims considered performing the lesser pilgrimage as a distant dream owing to
their financial limitations. In the past few years, many tour operators or
travel companies offering packages for the Islamic religious tours of Hajj and
Umrah have come up in various parts of the UK. This has removed much of the
financial burden of the country's Muslims and many of them are now able to
fulfil their dream of performing the lesser pilgrimage today.
The availability of many travel companies or tour
operators in the country has given UK Muslims many choices in terms of packages
and those providing them. Now, they can easily compare the packages and book cheap Umrah packages
based on those comparisons. As the internet has become cheaper than ever before
and the use of smartphones has increased tremendously, it is easier to search
for packages and make comparisons online. Most of the tour operators or travel
companies providing packages for Umrah have their own website today, where they
make the packages available for the prospective pilgrims.
Muslims residing in the UK who wish to embark on this
sacred journey can go to these websites and browse through all the available
packages. Most of them have various categories according to certain months of
the year. Based on this information, the prospective pilgrims can get cheap Umrah packages by booking a
suitable package well in advance. However, before booking in advance they need
to be absolutely sure about their departure date and the amount of time they
would like to spend in the holy city of Makkah several months earlier.
Once they have decided the dates, they can go ahead
and confidently book their desired package. The amount of savings that they get
can be utilised during their time spent in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for
buying souvenirs and other items or visiting the important Islamic sites in and
around the holy city of Makkah and Madinah. Most of these Islamic sites can be
reached within a short period of time from the hotel where their accommodation
is arranged by their chosen travel company or tour operator. The modern
facilities offered by their hotel would also make their stay pleasant and
memorable.
UK Muslims can perform their lesser pilgrimage during
their long weekend by booking Easter
Umrah packages.
