Are you having difficulty choosing between spirituality and relaxation? Why not have both? Begin your trip from the sacred land of Makkah and Madinah and continue it to Europe or the Middle East to explore Allah's beautiful creations. Combine Umrah with a holiday to thank Allah for his countless bounties and create wonderful memories with your loved ones.

Why is Combining Umrah with a Holiday a Brilliant Idea?

Umrah holiday packages are always a wonderful idea. It is the time of year when everyone is available, and schools and educational institutions are also most likely off. Therefore, it is an ideal time for the family to unite and spend quality time together.

Unlike Ramadan or Hajj, holiday times are off-peak Umrah seasons, as people usually go to holiday destinations. Hence, it is a great opportunity to perform Umrah as the holy cities are less crowded.

The weather is also pleasant, especially in December. This makes it easier for families with children and the elderly to perform strenuous rituals of Umrah. 

Things to Consider When Choosing an Umrah Holidays Package

Many travel agencies offer Umrah with holiday packages. However, it is very important to carefully choose the package that strikes an optimum balance between sanctity and leisure. The idea is to plan just enough days for Makkah and Madinah and then for the holiday destination to get the best out of the package.

Since it is a trip involving numerous flights, visa processing, and accommodations, the travel agency must ensure smooth transfers between various destinations. Time is an important factor. The package must cover all the aspects comfortably in the given time frame.

When it comes to accommodation in the holy cities, you can choose to stay at a 3* or 4* hotel and save money. The purpose is to engage in worship in the holy mosques rather than spend time in the hotel. So just opt for a hotel closer to the holy mosques so that you can engage in quality prayer and worship. You can spend this money on your holiday, for example, opting for a luxurious resort or a premium holiday package. Similarly, you can save money on transport, meals, and other areas during your Umrah trip as the main objective is to engage in worship.
