When Does The Umrah Season Start?
For the people following the religion Islam, Umrah is one of the holiest event of their life. Every year millions of capable muslims assemble in Mecca & Medina with a view to enrich their bags of good deeds.
So what's the unique fact about this event? Umrah can be performed any time of the year! This is one of the basic differences between Umrah & Hajj. But still there are some particular times when it's the best for you to decide to go to those holy places and purify your soul for the sake of Allah.
Also there are some rules & restrictions by the government of SA regarding Umrah. Let's find out clearly when does the Umrah seasons start-
Traveling In Holiday Seasons
Muslims around the world rush to perform Ramadan Umrah to get extra blessings or sawabs. As a result, pilgrims and other visitors alike get the holy cities jam-packed on that month. As Ramadan is a holy month a section of people prefer this month over others to perform hajj. Otherwise the same goes for the other holidays such as Christmas and Easter, where we can observe an increase in international visitors.
Affordable Staying Arrangements
It is clarified that most pilgrims can easily relate with the spike in accommodation prices in holiday seasons. As in the holidays they can get a reasonable break from their work, it's obvious to have more pilgrims performing Umrah on those breaks. But if you prefer doing Umrah in a cost efficient way, you can choose time except for holidays as the staying arrangements are much cheaper than seasonal times.
Favorable Weather Condition
Every Middle Eastern country is known for their hot climate & unbearable heat. From the English Calender's perspective we recommend you to avoid June & July as they're the hottest month of Saudi Arabia. For the people with special health conditions, it's not a wise choice to perform Umrah in Summer. The cooler months in Saudi Arabia lasts from November to February. These months are preferable if you want to perform Umrah in a favorable weather.
