Hajj and Umrah (the Islamic pilgrimages) are great blessings of Allah Almighty upon his servants. The virtues and rewards for both Hajj and Umrah are great in number as mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Sahi Ahadees (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H). Although both are the Islamic pilgrimages yet Umrah is non-obligatory and Hajj is mandatory one (only if a person is physically fit and can afford the expenditures for the journey and stay at Makkah).
Despite the fact that Umrah is non-mandatory pilgrimage, still a lot of Muslims travel to Makkah and Medinah every year. It was estimated that the numbers of the Umrah pilgrims will exceed by 20 million in the year 2020. This is because performing Umrah, nowadays, is a really easy job. You just have to find a local tour operator in order to book a Umrah Package. Just ping your operator, ask him for the desired Umrah package i.e premium, 5-star or go for the group packages if you want to save some pennies. No more worries about cheap flights, hotel bookings and the food. Your tour operator will take care of all these things and you can enjoy your sacred journey with full freedom.
