Umrah Information

Introduction about Umrah

The pilgrims arrive into Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the major port city nearest to Mecca (45 miles distance). From there they travel with their Umrah group to Madinah with domestic air flight. When they will arrive at Madinah they will visit and pray at The Prophet's Mosque in Madinah contain the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is therefore one of Islam's most sacred shrines.

After five nights they will check out from Madinah hotel moving to Makkah.

The pilgrims arrive to Makkah and perform seven tawaf, turns around the Ka’aba, the house of worship built by Abraham and his son. In other rites, the pilgrims pray near a place called “The Station of Abraham,” which is reportedly where Abraham stood while constructing the Ka’aba. The pilgrims also walk seven times between two small hills near the Ka’aba (and enclosed in the Grand Mosque’s complex). This isdone in remembrance of the plight of Abraham’s wife Hajar, who desperately searched in the area for water for herself and her son, before a spring welled up in the desert for her. The pilgrims also drink from this ancient spring, known as Zamzam, which continues to flow today.
