Umrah season is coming to an end soon

Umrah season is coming to an end soon. The aspirants have the last 4 days of May left. If they miss this opportunity of 4 days then they will have to wait for 2 to 3 months for Umrah 2022. This journey is as sacred as Hajj but less in rank. This is the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which He (PBUH) performed 4 times in his entire life.

If some of you wish to perform Umrah in the last 4 days of May, find the best travel agency for Umrah packages with a visitor visa. UAE residents and non-residents are advised to hurry up and book their tickets to join Umrah. Because the Umrah season for them will end on May 31 and the last date for pilgrims to leave Saudi Arabia is June 29.

In early May, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced that the Umrah season would continue until the end of the month of Shawwal.

Saudi Arabia has seen a sharp rise in the number of Umrah pilgrims since the relaxation of regulations in early March this year. The state suspended social distance measures at Masjid al-Haram, Masjid al-Nabawi and other mosques and all holy places. Although wearing a mask outside is not recommended, it is a must inside mosques.

Steps to go on Umrah:

Apply for an Umrah visa

Book the required Umrah package – which includes visa (visit or Umrah visa) expenses, accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, flight tickets and transit facilities for direct and indirect airlines.

Documents required for Umrah visa application:

Passport copy
Residence Proof copy
Photo
Vaccine card

Passport Copy:

Today, we don’t need to have a hard copy all the time while travelling because the soft copy is enough. But experts advise travellers to keep a hard copy of their passport with them as essential items. Because it proves where you belong. Your passport must be valid for 6 months before you can apply for any visa.

Residence Proof Copy:

Residence proof means showing your nationality. Your passport is your proof of residency, but sometimes countries do not issue passports but provide proof of residency. You cannot leave these documents in a hotel room. Always carry a copy of proof of residence when you go out or
Al-Haram

Photo:

Nowadays, mobile is the best way to keep a treasure trove of pictures in your pocket. But it requires power (electricity) to show results, maybe sometimes it’s dead when you don’t want to. Therefore, you must have a hard copy of your photo. It’s not a huge weight that makes it difficult to handle. If you are performing your Umrah with your children, hang a picture of each child around his neck. People often lose their focus during Tawaf and Sa’i. If someone loses their child because of their attention, a picture hanging around your child’s neck can help find your child there.

Vaccine card:

A vaccine card is not recommended. But if you have completed your COVID vaccination then this card must be with all the important documents of Umrah. The authorities may ask to see your vaccine card if they have any doubts about you.
