In today’s modern era, it’s become easy to perform Umrah based on the Umrah package. Many Muslims from different areas of the world perform Umrah after booking Umrah packages, as it’s a recommended act for Muslims to perform according to their rituals. But why it’s essential to book an Umrah package?

If you are going to perform Umrah with your family members, there are many things you have to take care of. Performing pilgrimage with family can be memorable and enjoyable, but taking your children on a trip is meticulous. However, this article will discuss some tips on booking the right Umrah package for your family.

Here are some points that you should keep in mind while reserving an Umrah package for your family:

Select the duration of your Umrah trip:

One can perform Umrah at any time of the year. But it all depends on a Muslim in which month and dates they want to perform Umrah. Typically, Muslims used to travel during peak seasons such as December, Ramadan, etc. One can select the specific duration of the trip, such as seven days, 14 days, or 21 days. According to your needs and budget, you can choose the package that meets your preferences.

Choose accommodation that meets your requirements:

Accommodation is one of the primary factors you must consider while booking for the Umrah package. You can choose options from 3, 4, and 5-star properties in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. There are top-rated hotels that are located in the sacred cities. Remember the things: the closer the hotel is to the proximity of Haram and Masjid An-Nabwi, the higher the cost/prices will be. In addition, select the hotel rooms based on your family members.

Select the transportation that suits your schedule:

You will need transportation from one city to another, like from Jeddah to Mecca. Your ride depends on the members you have and your luggage. Transport can be of two types: public and private. Most Muslims prefer using the personal vehicle already included in their Umrah packages. When you book your package from the concerned travel agent, they will guide you about everything you need. 

Make sure the package includes flights and visas:

Flights are significant as you have to travel on your flights. Most of the package cost is covered by the flights. Many airlines operate from different areas of the world to Saudi Arabia. Make sure you have the return flight and try to choose the direct flight instead of a stopover airline. However, direct airlines will cost you more. Another thing is a visa that is compulsory from one destination to another. Now, pilgrims can travel using a tourist visa to Saudi Arabia or any other type, such as an Umrah visa.

Include Ziyarats points of Mecca and Medina in the package:

Ziyarats are the most important places and have very significance in Islam. These are the sites in Mecca and Medina to whom pilgrims give a lot of respect. You must include these sites in the package, and you can visit these places after performing Umrah. Travelling to Ziyarats points with family and children can be enjoyable. Your mind gets mesmerised while visiting the Ziyarats points, and you will learn many new things.

 

In summary, choosing the right Umrah package for Umrah travel is crucial to success (completion). But the constraints should be understood by every pilgrim. Please ensure you know the updates affecting the package and its cost. I hope your journey will go well!
