How UK Muslims Can Perform Their Umrah in November Easily
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictThe climate of Makkah is extremely hot during the
summer season, but it gets relatively pleasant as the month of November
approaches. Occasional rainfall can also be experienced in this part of the
world between November and January. The rains are usually scant, but there have
been instances of flooding in the past. One of the most severe floods occurred
in the year 1942. However, the threat of flooding has been reduced to a great
extent with the building of dams over the years by the Saudi authorities.
For Muslims residing in the United Kingdom, this month
would be one of the pleasant months to perform their Umrah. This Islamic
pilgrimage is not an obligation for every Muslim as compared to the major
pilgrimage, Hajj, which is compulsory for all the financially capable and
physically fit Muslims. Umrah, which is also known as the lesser pilgrimage,
can be performed at any time during the year. Hajj is performed in the month of
Dhu al-Hijjah, which is the last month in the Islamic calendar. An Umrah in November would give Muslims
of the UK the chance to perform their lesser pilgrimage in the presence of a
comfortable weather.
Over the years, many travel companies or tour
operators specialising in the religious tours of Hajj and Umrah have come up in
different parts of the UK. This has made it extremely convenient for the
country’s Muslims to book their November
Umrah packages or any of the other packages that would help them fulfil
their dream of performing the lesser pilgrimage. As most of these travel
companies have an online presence in recent times in the form of user-friendly
websites, they can also browse through all the available packages and choose
the one that suits their budget.
Some of the travel companies have their packages
categorised according to the costs. It is not uncommon to come across packages
of Umrah
November month provides for the prospective pilgrims in three-star,
four-star, and five-star categories. The five-star categories are generally for
those who wish to have a luxurious accommodation during their time spent in the
holy city of Makkah. Most of these packages include stays in five-star hotels
that are located close to the Masjid al-Haram. Upon staying in any of these
hotels the pilgrims can have greater convenience in visiting the holy mosque
and performing all the rituals associated with Umrah with complete peace of
mind.
Any of these packages booked in advance can give the
UK Muslims the chance to have greater savings. Most of the travel companies
offer significant discounts on bookings that are done several months in
advance. In order to get any of such discounts, the Muslims living in the UK
must plan their dates of Umrah much earlier. They can consider the holidays of
Christmas and Easter, which gives them the chance to embark on their sacred
journey of Umrah without any hassles. Once they decide on the dates, they can
go ahead and book their desired packages immediately for more savings.
