UK Muslims Can Save More by Booking Umrah Packages Early

The Islamic pilgrimage of Umrah has a special place in the hearts of Muslims across the world as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is a wonderful opportunity for them to seek forgiveness for their sins from The Almighty Allah and benefit from the spiritual rewards associated with it. This is the reason why many of the Muslims residing in various parts of the globe make their journey to the holy city of Makkah to perform Umrah. As compared to Hajj, which is the major pilgrimage and one of Islam’s five pillars, the minor pilgrimage is usually accomplished in a few hours.

For Muslims of the United Kingdom, the most convenient way of fulfilling their dream of performing the lesser pilgrimage is to book any of the packages offered by several tour operators. Some of them offer cheap Umrah packages for those who book them several months in advance. For booking the packages early, one has to be certain about the dates of travel. Once the prospective pilgrims have decided their dates of travel, they can confidently go ahead and book their desired package in advance at a lower cost. The savings that they make by booking in advance can be utilised during their stay in Makkah.

A major challenge for many Muslims living in the UK is to find a reliable tour operator or travel company for booking any of the Umrah packages at a lesser cost. Although many travel companies providing the religious tours of Hajj and Umrah have come up in the country over the past couple of decades, very few of them offer the kind of service that one expects. The best way to ascertain the reliability of a particular travel company is to see whether it is authorised by Saudi Arabia’s Hajj ministry.

Once it is known that the company is authorised by the Ministry of Hajj, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the UK Muslims intending to go for their lesser pilgrimage must consider the number of years the company has been in operation. There are some travel companies in the UK that have spent more than a decade, providing Umrah packages with flights to numerous Muslims of the country. They can be the ideal ones that the prospective pilgrims of the UK can book their packages with. Another factor that can truly influence the decision of booking is the company’s quality of customer service.

Many of the Muslims residing in the UK prefer specific times of the year to book a package for their Umrah. They consider the Christmas week in the country as the best time to go for the lesser pilgrimage. During this time of the year, the weather is extremely cold in the UK. However, for Muslims arriving in the holy city of Makkah from various countries of northern Europe, the climate of Makkah is highly pleasant. This is mainly the reason why many Muslims living in the UK prefer to go for their minor pilgrimage in the last week of December.
