5 Reasons Why Pilgrims Choose January Umrah Packages

Performing Umrah is a religious benediction for faithful global Muslims. Although it can be performed at any time of the year, many pilgrims choose to go in January. The following are five persuasive factors that render January Umrah Packages especially sought-after among travelers.

Pleasant Weather Conditions

One of the reasons that shows that pilgrims prefer January to Umrah is the weather. January is in Saudi’s winter season; the weather is relatively cooler and therefore perfect for touring the area as compared to the very hot months of summer. During the daytime, the temperate of Makkah and Madinah is comparatively between 20 to 25 degrees which seems suitable for performing all kinds of Umrah acts. The favorable climate of cooler temperatures lowers the chances of heat-related diseases among the pilgrim, as well as allows for the ease of providing proper worship services.

Lower Crowds

They are not on their way to Umrah because January is not a popular travel season for Umrah different from December, just before Ramadan and during the summer vacations. Therefore, the sites that are revered by people are not filled with human traffic as one would expect. This in a way also enables the pilgrims to conduct their activities with less disturbance resulting in their desired reverence. More specifically, people can perform the Tawaf and Sa’i without rushing or disturbing others, offering a truly rich and religious experience. The decrease in the number of people also implies that there are fewer queues and more time for worship.

Affordable Packages

January is the peak season for travel companies, and Umrah travel deals are cheaper during this time. Because the period is classified as off-peak, getting to the holy sites and lodging is relatively cheaper as there are many discounts on the flight, hotels, and transport. Thus, it is a perfect time for pilgrims, especially for families and people with less resources to spend. The expenses can be reduced, and more of the tourists can plan and can stay for a prolonged period.

Availability of Hotels

As many pilgrims do not perform Umrah in January, there are many free rooms in the hotels near Haram in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. People can get hotels that are even near these centers of worship, so they don’t have to move far to get to these sacred sites. This ease ensures that the pilgrims, instead of spending a lot of time commuting, spend more time praying for. Plus, it shows that due to lower demand, pilgrims can get more qualitative lodging at a lower cost.

New Year, New Start

Thus, to many of them, the year start is an opportune time for Umrah. Performing Umrah is a spiritual activity, and January is a time of the year people look at as a period of change, it is ideal to perform Umrah in this month. People have scheduled this time of the year to ask for forgiveness, begin a new, and make new goals, for the upcoming year. The addition of a Umrah at the start of the year lends new depth to the pilgrims’ experience.

Picking January in particular to perform Umrah has so many advantages that help improve the worship and organizational aspects of the sacred trip. The relatively warm weather, low number of other visitors, cheaper prices, availability of suitable accommodation, and the start of the Umrah pilgrimage at the beginning of the year all add to the appeal of choosing January for many people. Altogether, these processes contribute to the creation of a quiet and purposeful environment for Umrah.
