Finding the Best Umrah Packages Online Has Now Become Easier
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictUmrah is one of the pilgrimages that Muslims across
the world perform by visiting the holy city of Makkah located in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia. As it is lesser in importance compared to the major pilgrimage of
Hajj, it is also referred to as the 'lesser pilgrimage'. Hajj is one of Islam's
five pillars and is an obligation for all the able-bodied and financially
capable Muslims. When it comes to the lesser pilgrimage, there is no such
compulsion. However, it is highly recommended in Islam, as it is the Sunnah of
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It can be performed at any time during
the year and can be accomplished within a few hours.
There was a time when Muslims had to depend on a tour
operator specialising in Islamic religious tours and located close to their
homes to get their journey to Makkah arranged. As this involved a significant
amount of cost, most of them kept postponing their plans for performing the
lesser pilgrimage. In recent times, more numbers of Muslims have been able to
perform their pilgrimage owing to the Umrah packages
offered by many tour operators. Over the years, the costs of such packages have
considerably reduced as well, mainly due to competition among the tour
operators offering such packages.
Muslims wanting to perform the lesser pilgrimage can
get their ideal package by comparing the best packages available online. This
can be done by looking for the most affordable packages on the popular search
engines. Online searches are now easier than ever before with the use of
smartphones and the availability of internet on them at unbelievably lower
costs. A single search made online for such packages would give Muslims several
options to choose from. Based on their budget and travel preferences, they can
choose the best package and make their booking instantly.
Another great way of reducing the cost of packages and
having more savings for the journey is by booking the desired package several
months in advance. In this case, the prospective pilgrims must have the dates
ready much earlier. They must decide their date of departure and the number of
days they wish to spend in the holy city of Makkah months earlier for booking a
package in advance. Once the dates have been decided, they can go ahead with
their booking and get a significant amount of discount on the chosen package.
Registering on the websites of tour operators that are
known for their cost-effective packages for Umrah would allow Muslims to
receive alerts on the best deals and special offers that are made available
from time to time. Such alerts are sent in the form of emails or text messages
by these tour operators. Although it would get quite irritating deleting all
those unwanted emails and messages, the Muslims wanting to perform their Umrah
would come across an irresistible offer at times. This would help them in
fulfilling their dream of performing the lesser pilgrimage without worrying
about the costs involved.
