Posted by Safeena Rahman on April 11th, 2019

The journey to Saudi Arabia from the United Kingdom is quite a long one and involves a significant amount of cost. As many of the Muslims living in the country have always been struggling with their budgets, they used to postpone their plans of performing Umrah, also known as the 'lesser pilgrimage'. Today, there are a number of tour operators or travel companies offering the Islamic religious tours of Hajj and Umrah in different parts of the UK. With an increase in the number of tour operators and the competition among them to provide cost-effective packages for the lesser pilgrimage, UK Muslims now have some hope.

In recent times, the Umrah packages that the tour operators or travel companies based in the UK provide are also available online. As almost all of them have an online presence today with their own websites, the UK Muslims now have the convenience of browsing through the packages and choosing one that is best-suited to their budget. They can also choose their desired package according to a suitable season when they would be able to make their journey to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This can be a particular month in the year or holidays, such as Christmas and Easter.

Many of the Muslims residing in the UK are always on the lookout for cheap Umrah packages that would help them perform the lesser pilgrimage without exceeding their budget. There are times when the tour operators or travel companies offer some good deals on their packages. Such special offers help the country’s Muslims immensely in bringing down the overall cost of their journey to Makkah. However, they have to book their desired package immediately when they come across any of such offers as they are usually offered for a limited period.

Another great way to get cheap Umrah packages is to book them several months in advance. Generally, the tour operators or travel companies offer excellent discounts on packages that are booked much earlier. Before booking the packages several months earlier, the date of departure and the number of days that the pilgrim wishes to stay in the holy city of Makkah after performing Umrah must be decided. Once these dates have been decided, the desired package must be booked immediately to get the best deals. The amount saved can be utilised by the pilgrim during the time spent in Makkah for buying souvenirs from the local markets or visiting the sacred Islamic sites.

Upon registering on the websites of travel companies, the Muslims residing in the UK would receive notifications of the special offers that are made available from time to time. This would help them in staying updated on the deals provided by the travel companies. While it is true that it would be quite frustrating at times to keep deleting all the unwanted emails, they might come across a useful offer occasionally. Whenever they see an irresistible offer, they can make their booking immediately to fulfil their sacred intention of performing Umrah.

The benefits of Umrah Ramadan month brings for the prospective pilgrims are tremendous.
