Umrah Packages in UK Can Be Booked Well in Advance
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictAn Islamic pilgrimage undertaken by Muslims to the
holy city of Makkah, Umrah is also referred to as the 'lesser pilgrimage' or
the 'minor pilgrimage' often when it is compared to the major pilgrimage of
Hajj. When it comes to importance, Hajj is the most important pilgrimage as it
is among the five pillars of Islam. Although Umrah is lesser in importance when
compared to the major pilgrimage, it is held in high regard by Muslims across
the world as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It can
be performed at any time during the year, while the major pilgrimage is
undertaken in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Umrah Packages UK tour operators or
travel companies provide is of great benefit for the country's Muslims who intend
to perform the lesser pilgrimage. In the past, they had to rely on a handful of
tour operators who were located at distant places and did not provide many
options. Today, there are numerous travel companies or tour operators
specialising in the Islamic religious tours of Hajj and Umrah in the UK. Almost
all of them have their own website and their online presence helps the UK
Muslims in choosing their desired packages without any hassles.

of great help for Muslims of the UK to carefully go through the facilities,
cost and other aspects of provided in such packages. This makes it easier for
them to choose a package that would be best-suited to their available budget.
They can also plan their pilgrimage during the month or season that would be
the most convenient for them. Some of the travel companies also offer packages
for the Christmas season or Easter holidays. Once they've chosen their desired
package, the prospective pilgrims can go ahead and make the booking.
In order to make the Umrah Packages from UK
affordable, the Muslims residing in the UK can make their booking several
months in advance. Many of the travel companies or tour operators offer
attractive discounts on the packages that are booked much earlier. This would

savings thus made for buying souvenirs or visiting important Islamic sites
