The Best Umrah Package Deals Can Be Booked Online
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictUmrah is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) and has its own special place in Islam, although not an
obligation for Muslims when compared to the major pilgrimage of Hajj. Also
called the ‘minor pilgrimage’, Umrah can be accomplished at any time of the
year and involves fewer rituals. It is highly recommended for every Muslim who
is financially capable and physically fit to undertake the journey from his
place of residence to the holy city of Makkah. Muslims across the world perform
the minor pilgrimage for the immense spiritual benefits that it carries.
For Muslims residing in the United Kingdom
(UK), the journey from their respective homes to Makkah in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia is made easier with Umrah packages UK travel companies provide. In the
past few years, many of these companies have come up with their own websites,
making it extremely convenient for the prospective pilgrims to book the
packages online. As all the details are provided in the description of these
packages on the website, they can go through the benefits offered in a
particular package and make the booking if it satisfies all their requirements for
Umrah.
Muslims living in the UK are provided
several benefits in such packages, but they greatly differ according to the
travel company they are booking their desired package with. Some offer flights
from the leading airports of the UK to King Abdulaziz International Airport
located near Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Others provide accommodations
in hotels that are located close to the Masjid al-Haram in the holy city of
Makkah in addition to flights. Upon staying in any of these hotels, the
pilgrims can have greater convenience in visiting the holy mosque and
performing all the rituals with complete peace of mind.
Today, there are Umrah package deals available
with various travel companies in the UK for some specific seasons of the year. Such seasons are the times of the year when
schoolchildren and working professionals have their holidays. Muslims working
in organisations across the UK can perform their minor pilgrimage by planning
their journey to the holy city of Makkah during these seasons. During the
Christmas season, the weather in Makkah is extremely pleasant for UK Muslims
and can be a wonderful time to fulfil their dream of Umrah. As Easter falls
between March and April, the climate in Makkah would be extremely hot. However,
the pilgrims can get some good deals on their packages if they make their
bookings well in advance.
As there is no prescribed time for
performing Umrah, Muslims living in the UK can also plan their minor pilgrimage
during a time which is convenient for them. Besides the seasonal packages, they
can get some good Umrah deals on packages that are classified according to
certain months of the year, such as January, February, March, and May. The UK
Muslims can have more savings for their journey if they plan their dates
several months in advance and book their desired packages.
