Performing Umrah with a group of Muslims enhances the cultural and spiritual experience. In a group, there are several Muslims from different countries and regions. Therefore, while performing Umrah, you can also get some knowledge of the cultural traditions of different countries.
Benefits of Perform Umrah as a Group
Here are some of the benefits that will give a proper sense and knowledge of the group Umrah:
Cost-Effective
The biggest advantage of group Umrah is the cost-effectiveness. The cost of the whole Umrah is divided among the whole group members, due to which each individual performs Umrah at a very reasonable price. Moreover, Islamic Travel’s group Umrah packages include all the essential things, such as visa processing, shared accommodation rooms, transportation facilities, and a guided tour.
Guided Experience
The guided tour makes your journey more reliable and convenient by telling you complete Umrah-performing instructions step-by-step.
Safety and Support
Performing Umrah, especially during the peak season with millions of Muslims, can be very disturbing. Therefore, being in a group will provide you with complete assurance that if anything happens to you, there is a group of Muslims who will provide you with help as per the situation.
Social and Spiritual Bonding
Umrah is not just a physical activity to perform. Umrah is basically a spiritual journey that makes your faith and religion stronger. Capturing and sharing the beautiful moments of this religious journey with your group members will make your spiritual tour more meaningful and memorable.
Convenience
Group Umrah packages simplify the whole Umrah journey, as all the arrangements of bookings, including hotels, transportation, and meals, are their responsibility. This convenience frees the pilgrims from the stress of arrangements and allows them to focus on their worship.
Considerations for Group Umrah
Besides the benefits of Umrah, you should also have to consider the following things during your religious tour:
Potential for Crowds
While moving with the number of Muslims, you have to perform Umrah as per the speed of the whole group. If any person in a group can slow down, then you also have to slow down your speed of performing rituals.
Flexibility
In a group, you cannot have any personal time for offering prayers or meeting with your relatives or friends in Saudi Arabia.
Individual Needs
Every individual in the group has specific, different needs. The group Umrah package does not focus on the individual needs. You have to communicate your personal needs to the Umrah leaders in advance to avoid any discomfort.
Tips for Planning Group Umrah
Below are some of the tips through which you can make your Umrah journey more comfortable:
Research and Compare Packages
Before selecting any Umrah packages by Islamic Travel in advance, do proper research and choose the package with higher facilities and a lower rate.
Involve the Group
Always consider and involve the whole Umrah group in the decisions that you take. This will help you to make better decisions in a shorter time.
Communicate with the Group
Before doing anything or going to any place, you should clearly communicate it with the rest of the group. In this way, they will easily find you in case of any mishap.
Pack Smart
As you will be performing Umrah with your whole group, therefore, heavy and excessive things will reduce the group’s speed, so pack smartly.
Prepare for the Journey
Take part in the Umrah sessions so that you will get an understanding of the rituals of the Umrah. Moreover, watch videos regarding how to maintain physical fitness during your Umrah journey.
