The Umrah is the pilgrimage to Makkah, the holy city. Unlike the Hajj, which happens at a specific time, Umrah can be done anytime during the year. It is a way for Muslims to feel closer to Allah, ask for forgiveness, and clean their hearts. This journey brings peace and helps Muslims feel more devoted to their faith. Whether you've traveled previously or this is your first time, Umrah is a life-changing experience.
Planning such a significant experience can feel confusing. However, AlHamd Travel is here to make it easy for you. We offer great Umrah packages from the USA, giving you the best prices and services. No matter which USA city you're leaving from, we offer packages to suit both your needs and price range.

Going to Umrah is a very special and important journey for Muslims. To make it easy and meaningful, it's essential to be ready. So, here is a short guide to help you prepare and do everything correctly.
Firstly, before starting your Umrah journey, it's vital to get ready spiritually. So, ensure your heart and mind are in the right place by setting a clear intention (niyyah) for why you're doing Umrah. Think about your relationship with Allah, ask for forgiveness for your past mistakes, and focus on being humble and devoted. Many people also suggest reading about the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and learning how to do Umrah properly so you can perform each step with understanding.
Prayers (du'a) are a big part of Umrah. So, make a list of personal prayers you want to say, and include any prayers your family or friends have asked for. Also, learn the special prayers for each part of Umrah. Reading books or attending a class about Umrah can help you ensure you do everything correctly.
Moreover, the pilgrimage requires a lot of walking, especially when circling the Kaaba (Tawaf) and walking between Safa and Marwah (Sa'i). So, it's essential to get your body ready for this. Try walking or doing some light exercise a few weeks before your journey. Also, bring comfortable shoes for walking. If you have any health problems, consult your physician to ensure you're fit to go.
When packing, don't forget important things like Ihram clothing (for men), comfortable and modest clothes (for women), prayer beads, a Qur'an, a small prayer mat, and toiletries. Also, pack sunscreen and any medicine you need, as Saudi Arabia can be very hot.
Before entering the holy city of Makkah, you must enter a state called Ihram. This means you have to wear specific clothes and follow some essential rules.
For men, this means wearing two pieces of plain white cloth: one around their waist and the other over their shoulders. Women should wear loose, modest clothing that follows Islamic guidelines, but there's no specific color they must wear.
When you're in this state of Ihram, there are some things you cannot do. You can't cut your hair or nails, use scented products, or have any romantic relationship. Knowing what you can and cannot do while in Ihram is essential to keep it respected.
When you arrive in Makkah and reach the Haram, your spiritual journey truly starts. So, here's a simple list of the main rituals of Umrah.
