Islam Pilgrimage Site Hajj and Umrah

If you're looking for a trip to cleanse your soul or trying to escape the business of your daily life, visiting a pilgrimage site is worth going for. There are multiple pilgrimage sites all across the globe that can heal your soul, mend your broken heart and change your life for the better. Here we will focus on two vital Islam pilgrimage sites; Hajj and Umrah. 


Islam Pilgrimage Sites; Hajj and Umrah

  • Hajj : Every Muslim dream of going on Hajj Tours. The Hajj tour begins on the seventh day of Dhū al-Ḥijjah and ends on the twelfth day. It takes one to be financially privileged to go to Hajj since it can be really costly. Hajj is known as the fifth pillar of Islam. For Hajj, each Muslim walks around the kabba seven times counterclockwise. Then they trot back and forth between Safa and Marwah. After this, they go on to drink from the Zamzam well. During covid19 in 2020, Saudi Government welcomed only a limited number of pilgrims for Hajj. 

  • Umrah : Umrah is an Islamic pilgrimage situated in the Hejazi of Saudi Arabia. There are plenty of Umrah Packages available throughout the year. Umrah is different from Hajj which can only be done once a year at a specific time. Umrah consists of two rituals; Tawaf and Sa'i. It is also known for "lesser pilgrimage" since it is not compulsory for Islamic followers to visit the pilgrimage site. Moreover, Unlike Hajj, Umrah takes only a few hours to complete.
