The minimum recommended duration is 7 days (3-4 days in Makkah, 3-4 days in Madinah). However, packages range from 5 days to 21 days depending on your preference and budget. Longer stays allow for more spiritual reflection and Ziyarat visits.

When is the best time to perform Umrah?

Umrah can be performed year-round, but popular times include Ramadan (spiritually rewarding), cooler months (November-February), and school holidays. Avoid Hajj season (Dhul Hijjah) when hotels are fully booked. Off-peak months often offer better prices and fewer crowds.
