About Makkah & Madinah

Makkah and Madinah are the two holiest cities in Islam and the destination of the most important journey in a Muslim's life. Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from Pakistan travel to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, pray at Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, and visit the places connected with the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Our Umrah packages are designed to make this sacred journey smooth, comfortable and spiritually fulfilling.

Makkah al-Mukarramah

Makkah is home to Masjid al-Haram and the Kaaba, the qibla towards which Muslims pray five times a day. Pilgrims perform Umrah by entering Ihram at the Miqat, performing Tawaf (seven circuits around the Kaaba), Sa'i (seven walks between the hills of Safa and Marwa) and then Halq or Taqsir. Beyond Umrah, pilgrims spend their days in prayer, Tawaf, recitation of the Quran and dua.

Ziyarat places in Makkah

  • Jabal al-Noor and the Cave of Hira: where the first revelation of the Quran was received.
  • Jabal Thawr: the mountain cave where the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr (RA) sheltered during the Hijrah.
  • Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat: the sites of Hajj, including Jabal al-Rahmah.
  • Masjid Ji'ranah and Masjid Aisha (Taneem): common places to enter Ihram for an additional Umrah.
  • Jannat al-Mu'alla: the historic cemetery of Makkah.

Madinah al-Munawwarah

Madinah, the "Radiant City", is where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated and established the first Muslim community. Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet's Mosque, is the heart of the city, and pilgrims send salaam at the Rauza Mubarak. Riyad ul-Jannah, a blessed area between the Prophet's pulpit and his resting place, can usually be visited with a permit booked through the official Nusuk app.

Ziyarat places in Madinah

  • Masjid Quba: the first mosque built in Islam; praying two rak'ahs here carries great reward.
  • Masjid Qiblatain: where the qibla was changed from Jerusalem to Makkah.
  • Mount Uhud and the martyrs' graveyard: site of the Battle of Uhud.
  • Jannat al-Baqi: the cemetery where many companions and family members of the Prophet ﷺ are buried.
  • The Seven Mosques (Sab'ah Masajid): associated with the Battle of the Trench.

Best time to perform Umrah

Umrah can be performed throughout the year except during the days of Hajj. Ramadan is the most rewarding and most popular time, especially the last ten nights, but also the busiest and most expensive. The winter months (roughly November to February) offer cooler weather, which many families and elderly pilgrims prefer. Summer is very hot, so plan worship at cooler times of day.

Umrah visa and documents for Pakistanis

Pakistani pilgrims usually travel on an Umrah visa arranged through authorised channels. Typical requirements include a valid passport, CNIC copy, photographs and vaccinations required by Saudi authorities at the time. Holders of certain visas or residence permits may also be eligible for a Saudi tourist e-visa, which allows Umrah. Rules change from time to time, so we confirm the latest requirements when you book. See our Saudi Arabia visa guide for more information.

Choosing the right Umrah package

Packages differ mainly by hotel category and distance from the Haram, duration and transport. Economy packages offer value with hotels further away (often with shuttles), while 4 and 5-star packages place you within walking distance of the mosques — especially important for elderly pilgrims and families with children. Durations of 15, 21 and 28 days are common.

Preparing for your journey

  • Learn the rituals of Umrah and the duas before you travel.
  • Pack two sets of Ihram (for men), comfortable sandals and unscented toiletries.
  • Carry essential medicines and a copy of prescriptions.
  • Keep your hotel card and a copy of your passport with you.
  • Stay hydrated and rest between prayers, especially in summer.

Respecting the holy cities

Pilgrims are guests of Allah. Be patient in crowds, help elderly pilgrims, keep the mosques clean and follow instructions from the authorities. A calm and humble attitude allows you and others to make the most of this blessed journey.

Frequently asked questions

How many days are recommended for Umrah?
Popular durations are 15, 21 and 28 days, but Umrah itself can be completed in a few hours. Shorter packages of 7 to 10 days are available for those with limited time. Most pilgrims split their stay between Makkah and Madinah according to preference.
Should I go to Makkah or Madinah first?
Either is possible and depends on flight routes and package design. Many pilgrims start in Makkah to perform Umrah right after arrival in Ihram, while others start in Madinah and enter Ihram at the Miqat when travelling to Makkah. Your agent will advise based on your itinerary.
How close should my hotel be to the Haram?
Hotels closer to the Haram save time and energy, which is especially important for elderly pilgrims and families with children. Economy packages use hotels farther away, often with shuttle buses. Choose based on budget, mobility and how often you plan to visit the mosque.
Can I visit Riyad ul-Jannah?
Yes, visits to Riyad ul-Jannah in Masjid an-Nabawi usually require a permit booked through the official Nusuk app, with separate timings for men and women. Availability can be limited in busy seasons, so book as early as possible.
What is the best month for Umrah?
Ramadan is the most rewarding and most popular month for Umrah. For cooler weather and fewer crowds, the months after Hajj and the winter period are good choices. Summer is very hot, so plan Tawaf and outdoor visits at cooler times of day.
Can I perform more than one Umrah during my trip?
Many pilgrims perform additional Umrahs by entering Ihram at Masjid Aisha (Taneem) or Masjid Ji'ranah. Scholars hold different views on how often to perform additional Umrahs, so follow the guidance you trust and focus on quality of worship.
