FAQ
Quick answers to the questions pilgrims ask us most often. Can’t find yours? Our team replies on WhatsApp within working hours.
The Umrah rituals themselves take about 3–5 hours. Most packages from India are 10–21 days long, including a stay in Madinah and Ziyarat in both cities.
Umrah visas for Indian citizens are generally applied for through authorised agents together with hotels and transport. Some travellers eligible for a Saudi tourist visa can also perform Umrah outside the Hajj season. Our team can advise on the best option for you.
The quadrivalent meningococcal (ACYW) vaccine is required by Saudi Arabia for pilgrims. Seasonal flu vaccination is recommended. We share the latest health requirements at the time of booking.
Saudi regulations now allow adult women to perform Umrah without a Mahram as part of an organised group. Some scholars still require a Mahram, so families may decide according to their own scholarly guidance.
The Day of Arafah in 2027 is expected around 15 May 2027 and Eid al-Adha around 16 May 2027, subject to moon sighting in Saudi Arabia.
Umrah visas are usually paused for several weeks before and during Hajj. Umrah bookings reopen after the Hajj season ends.
