Umrah is an Islamic non-compulsory but a highly recommended pilgrimage. Muslims perform Umrah to make repentance for their sins, increase in righteousness and ask Allah to fulfill their wishes. The central locations for performing Umrah are Makkah and Madinah. Muslims can perform Umrah on any day of the year. Umrah takes less time than Hajj, not more than 4 to 6 hours.
In Umrah, Muslims in Ihram state, perform the Tawaf of Ka’bah (circling 7 times around the Ka’bah), then perform Sa’ee (walking 7 times on and between the hills of Safa and Marwah) and then Qasar/ Halaq (shortening the hair). When you perform these 4 acts devotedly, your Umrah is submitted and you can now get out of the Ihram and do other deeds which were prohibited to do in the state of Ihram.
There are a number of Umrah Packages on trips.pk which include all the facilities and quality services. Booking an Umrah Package has been so easy than it had been never before. Just you can pick up the contact number and book your Umrah Package online while sitting at home.
You know that hotel accommodation makes up a major part of your Umrah package and choosing the right hotel makes a huge difference in your overall umrah package experience. Whether you are going solo or with your family, make the best decision for your hotel stay to get the best out of your Umrah package from Pakistan. Following important aspects can give you further directions:
1. For Solo & Young
You can choose a shared hotel stay or a separate room depending on your budget. Even hotels on a far distance from Haram such as those that are up to 1500 meters can be a workable option. Remember that the more distance from Haram, the more you have to walk or use the hotel shuttle service.
2. For Families
Always consider a nearby hotel to Haram when getting an umrah package. In case you cannot find a hotel which is near then you can opt for hotels with good shuttle service. Note that some hotels provide shuttle service that has huge gaps in between the departure times. That can be a pain. So get hotels that are either nearby or provide fast and dependable shuttle services.
3. For Convenience Seeker
It might cost you much but a nearby hotel is always a great option providing you convenience of reaching Haram for every prayer. Moreover, you find vast range of aminities, food options and other shopping areas near Haram.
4. For Economy Lovers
There are just two ways you can save the most from your hotel stay during umrah. Get a hotel which is a bit far and go for a shared room. This works better if you are male or solo. Almost all economy hotels provide shared room options. Our team can also provide you list of such hotels if needed.
Many Umrah pilgrims from Pakistan tend to complain of various services and issues during their Umrah. Most of them blame travel agents who misguided or other reasons beyond their control. However, our experience confirms that the most of issues people face can be tackled beforehand. Here are few issues and their solution:
Category | Issue | Solution |
---|---|---|
Visa | Visa delay | Most Umrah visas get processed within 2-5 working days. To ensure that you get your Umrah visa in time, you can apply early and make sure to provide required documents such as photo, CNIC and passport in time. You can even get your visa much in advance as each Umrah visa comes with 3 months validity of travel period. |
Flights | Ticket delay | Avoid booking your flights for Umrah through groups as group tickets are issued only few days before the actual flight time. Mostly group tickets give you a little discount but the uncertainty is more expensive. So, ask your agent to book your umrah flights without a group. This way you can get your tickets almost the same day. |
Hotel |
Hotel is far. Hotel is dirty. Bad service |
This is the most critical part of the Umrah package as 90% of the complaints are regarding the hotel. There are simple ways you can avoid most hotel issues. 1. Understand that if its an economy hotel, you’ll definitely get poor service. 2. You can always check hotel location in Google maps before confirming to your agent. 3. It is better to buy a better hotel. It can cost you more but will also provide you better service and convenience so you can enjoy your Umrah package even better.
|
Transport |
Bus is late Bus is too early Bad service |
Most umrah packages come with shared bus option which means you’ll be travelling with other travelers on a bus. The bus operator will wait for bus to fill up and sometimes, will ask you to get ready much in advance. This is a common practice so you cannot change that.
However, if you are conscious about time wasting or service standard, you should go for a private car hire. Your travel agent can provide you options for private transport for Umrah. The private car provides you more convenience and flexibility and is specially recommended for quality conscious, elderly or families.
