Going to the pilgrimage of Umrah is a massive spiritual accomplishment to Muslims globally. It is a pilgrimage of the heart, of going back to the origin of faith and of being able to stand before the Kaaba in humility and an act of devotion. Those who are residing in the United States especially in the busy capital area, the logistics involved in arranging such a holy journey could be daunting at times. The arrangements between flights, accommodation, visas and getting the correct spiritual guidance can easily add up.
However, the trip to the Holy Cities of Makkah and Madinah is to be characterized by peace, not the stress. It is regarding this that the appropriate travel partner is needed. Being a first time pilgrim or now going back to renew your spirit, it is best to get a reliable package that makes you focus on your worship all the time.
We have learned here in the States at MasartoMecca, the special needs of our community. We focus on delivering smooth experiences that respect the sacredness of your travel as well as delivering comfort and convenience you are entitled to enjoy.
The initial step towards a hassle free pilgrimage includes finding a complete Umrah Packages from Washington. The people of Washington have the privilege of international airports that mean reaching Jeddah or Madinah is much easier than in other regions of the country. In Masar to Mecca, we are offering our products to suit the needs of this segment. We are aware that Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) need particular logistical planning when it comes to departures. Travel itinerary The itinerary of your trip is supposed to be the least of your worries with our packages. The finer, more intricate details, such as getting direct or convenient connecting flights, getting a ride arranged the moment you land in Saudi Arabia, etc., we manage, so that you can get into the state of mind and soul of what is to be done during the rites of Umrah, without being distracted by what will happen to you at the airports.
In the age of being able to fly and get a hotel on a few minutes by booking online, you would be wondering why you would need an agency like that. The peculiarities of the religious traveling can be considered the solution. Umrah is not a vacation, but worship which is covered with a number of rites, rules and etiquettes.
A generic traveling reservation site does not know where to do Tawaf or enter into Ihram. Booking the flight with Masar to Mecca you do not only get a flight ticket, you have a co-pilot in worship. Most of our packages would come with the services of learned guides who would be able to provide you with answers to your questions about the rituals so that your Umrah will go in the right way, according to Sunnah.
The rules in the areas of the Saudi tourist and Umrah visa may vary. Going through government portals and making sure that all paperwork is in order can be tiresome. The specialized agencies maintain the pace with the current demands of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. We simplify the visa application and leave you to have your paperwork sorted way before you open your bags.
What will be the case when your transfer is delayed? Or this problem with your hotel room? These issues are yours when you are travelling on your own. You are not alone when you go on a trip with a dedicated package. Masar to Mecca gives you the comfort that there is a team that will be on your side in the event that some hiccups arise in your way.
We think that all pilgrims are worthy of an easy time, despite their finances. This is the reason why we have made our packages be in different tiers catering to different requirements, including affordable to lavish experiences.
A majority of the pilgrims like to be within the proximity to the Haram. The ability to walk to the Masjid al-Haram to attend all the prayers is a blessing that makes the Umrah experience worthwhile. The inclusion of the Makkah and Madinah hotels in our ratings implies that we will be in a position to offer accommodation that will be within few steps of the holy places. The thought of waking up, listening to the Adhan and attending jama’ah in some few minutes is phenomenal.
The journey between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah is tiresome. There are comfortable air conditioned vehicles that do all transfers. Whether it is a personal car that is driving your family wherever you are going or a luxury coach full of people, we ensure that you are safe and comfortable with everything in the cities. This also includes Ziyarat tours where we tour the historical sites of historical significance to the Islamic history such as the mountain Uhud, masjid Quba and the cave of Hira.
Every family is different. One of them might desire to take more days in Madinah; the other may desire a short visit dedicated to Makkah. We also have flexible itineraries which give you an opportunity to tailor the period during which you will be staying. Even in case you want to visit other places after your Umrah, we can also assist in making stopovers.
An effective Umrah is prepared. This is more than taking a suitcase and you need to prepare your heart and mind.
To begin with, revise your knowledge on the Seerah (biography) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The historical background of the destinations you are going to provide the experience with a great layer of depth. It is a different experience when you stand there in the Rawdah of Madinah and you find out the history of that holy place instead of having a mere sightseeing mission there.
Umrah is physically demanding to a large extent. Tawaf and Sa’i involve long walks. We will suggest that pilgrims begin a walking exercise weeks before they leave in order to be fit. You cannot compromise on comfortable shoes–before you go, break the walking shoes.
Although our packages include the big logistics, it is you that puts the appropriate personal items together. Essentials include:
Any Umrah journey will not be complete without Ziyarat-trip to historical sites. Although the practices are based on the main rituals in the Kaaba and in Safa/Marwah, the region around them is full of history.
In the case of a visitor traveling with an Umrah Travel Agency fromCalifornia, we make sure that your trip incorporates a great deal of visits to these holy places. A sightseeing to Masjid Quba is very advisable in Madinah. Prophet (peace be upon him) affirmed that an individual who cleanses himself at home and then proceeds to Masjid Quba to pray, has a reward similar to Umrah. We also make trips to the date farms, the place of the Battle of Uhud and the Masjid al-Qiblatayn.
One can visit Jabal al-Noor (Mount of Light) in Makkah where the first revelation has been received and Jabal Thawr where the Prophet and Abu Bakr have been hiding in the process of migration to remind about the hardships that the early Muslims had to face.
When you go on Umrah, it is highly likely that the time you decide on will have a significant impact.
Performing Umrah at the time of Ramadan is equal to do Hajj. It, thus, coincides to be the busiest season of the year. It is an atmosphere of devotion and crowds are merciless. Considering you plan to travel in this blessed month, then it is quite essential to make a booking early enough.
Â
The western families usually take holidays on December and January making these months the most favored months to travel. Saudi Arabia has pleasant weather these months and therefore, the rites become physically easier to undertake.
It is even possible to travel during low-season months (such as right after Hajj or just before Ramadan): this way, you will have a more reflective experience. The cost is generally cheaper and the Harams are not as congested so that one can easily reach the Black Stone and the Rawdah.
In the case of the people living in the capital, by specifically searching Umrah Packages from Washington DC, you will have optimized your itinerary to departure locally. Masar to Mecca boasts of serving the DC, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) Muslim community. We understand that DC metro families are usually busy in their professional lives. Our packages are efficient in nature and they come in the form of weekend getaways or less lengthy to professionals who cannot afford long leaves. Our emphasis on flights out of IAD will reduce the time spent on traveling and the time spent in the Holy Land. We are determined to be the gateway between the US capital and the world spiritual capital.
An invitation to see the House of Allah is an invitation that is never to be missed. It is an opportunity to start a new page, seek forgiveness and redefine your purpose on earth. Although the logistics of travel is something that is required, it must never take the place of the spiritual greatness of the journey.
We are pleased to render you this journey at Masar to Mecca. We have our responsibility, and we receive all our pilgrims as the guest of the most merciful. We are there with you throughout the journey starting when you ask about a package right to the time you get back home safely to your family.
Do not allow the pressure of planning to put you off in answering this divine call. We will leave the secular matters to ourselves and you attend to the spiritual ones.
