Islam is a religion that is on the list of new religions. In this religion, Umrah and Hajj are two major journeys that take place only in the country of Saudi Arabia, while the number of its followers is increasing day by day. No one can say that Muslims do not exist there, because they are all over the world.

Umrah is called a minor pilgrimage to the pilgrimage because of its importance, time, and many rituals. But we are not saying that this is not important to Muslims. This is Sunnah, while Hajj is Fard. If we are one of the inhabitants of European countries then we should know, how to prepare yourself for the journey to Umrah?

I describe the weather in European countries and then Saudi Arabia, so that, you can easily understand what are the basic requirements for travelling to Saudi Arabia.

Europe is the continent such as Asia, South America, Australia, North and America. I tried to provide average annual temperatures for major cities in all European countries.

Airline

Direct flights mean arriving at own destination without interruption in the middle while indirect flights mean reaching own destination with one or two stopovers.

Transportation

Transport is a very important means of travelling from one place to another even when you are in Saudi Arabia or not. If you are going to a strange place or city without a guide, you may have a difficult time travelling to that city.

But if you get any transportation before you leave your homeland then you may be a lucky person. People can get this facility in their packages when booking. If you have not got then you can use the private taxi there with full payment or sharing. You can use the Uber service and train service is also available there.

Accommodations

Accommodation is the next priority step, staying somewhere short-term or long-term. Many luxury hotels offer excellent lifestyle accommodation, but not everyone is rich enough to afford a night out at such hotels. No doubt, the name of the country is listed in the developed countries. Such people have a choice of cheapest hotels.

Here, I share my personal experience of travelling to Umrah to understand how important a travel Agent is. A few years ago, I think it was 2013 when I was only thirteen years old. My father decided to spend Easter holidays this year in Makkah and the land of Madinah.
My father chose Easter due to getting seven holidays from his office. When he contacted a travel agent from the UK to get a cheap Easter umrah package, Agent booked our hotels that were 1 km from Masjid Haram and Al-Nabvi Mosque.
Our agent arranged a direct flight from London, but at the time of departure, our flight was delayed for any reason, so our agent quickly arranged another flight with a short break in the middle. I have since realized that an agent is very important to participate in any journey.
