Performing Umrah during Ramadan is among the most rewarding journeys a Muslim can make. The Prophet ﷺ said that Umrah in Ramadan is equal in reward to Hajj. It is also the busiest time of year in Makkah and Madinah, so preparation matters.
Why Ramadan is special
The atmosphere in the Haram during Ramadan is unlike any other time. Taraweeh prayers, the sight of thousands fasting together, and the final ten nights create an experience pilgrims remember for life.
Plan for crowds
Expect the Haram to be extremely busy, especially in the last ten nights. Book a hotel close to the Haram to reduce walking, and allow extra time to reach the mosque before prayers.
Fasting while travelling
- Travellers are permitted to break their fast, but many choose to fast throughout.
- Eat a nourishing Suhoor and stay hydrated between Iftar and Suhoor.
- Pace your rituals and rest during the hottest part of the day.
