Have More Benefits by Booking January Umrah Packages

The climate of Makkah is of the hot desert type, which means that the city is characterised by scorching temperatures during the summers that often go beyond the 40-Degree Celsius mark. The winters are relatively pleasant in this part of the world with rainfall occurring between the months of November and January. It is during this time of the year that most of the Muslims living in the countries of Northern Europe prefer to make their journey to the holy city of Makkah for their Umrah. This Islamic pilgrimage is also known among many of the Muslims across the world as the 'minor pilgrimage' or the 'lesser pilgrimage'.

For many of the Muslims, the opportunities for Umrah January month presents are tremendous, largely because of the pleasant climate of Makkah during this time of the year. It gives them greater convenience to perform all the rituals associated with the minor pilgrimage. The rituals involved in Umrah are lesser when compared to the major pilgrimage of Hajj and this is the reason why it is often accomplished within a few hours. Numerous Muslims residing in the United Kingdom also prefer to visit the holy city for performing their lesser pilgrimage in the month of January.

Muslims living in the UK can book any of the January Umrah packages to make their journey of Umrah comfortable and cost-effective.
