History and Tradition of Umrah
Umrah is a religious duty that Muslims perform all over the world. It is a short Hajj performed throughout the year except at hajj time. It is the greatest prayer for the Muslim, and a dream comes true when he watches Allah’s home and visits all the holy places in Makkah and Madinah. The Muslim believer visits Kaaba to clean himself from all the sins.
The umrah can be performed in a few hours, but when a person visits Allah’s home from faraway places, he wants to visit other places. So, cheap umrah packages can be of three days, five days, seven days, and 14 days tour trip depending on the number of holidays the pilgrim has and the budget he has to spend for this Islamic trip to Allah’s home.
Significance of Umrah in Islam
While talking about the most soul-lifting Sunnahs of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), you will find umrah at the top of the list. This spiritual worship has numerous benefits, and Muslims from all over the world come to the holy city of Makkah during the months except the days when Hajj is performed to perform umrah.

Almighty Allah grants forgiveness from all sins to all who come to Makkah to perform Umrah. With exclusive Umrah packages, you can come here any time that suits you to keep faith in Islam.
