DAY 1: ARRIVE IN JEDDAH.

A Private Chauffeur will be at the Arrival Point to pick you up on a Private Vehicle and Transfer to The Hotel in Makkah.

Once you arrive, check in & go to Haram to perform Umrah.

Step-By-Step Guide — How to Perform Umrah

1. Make the intention (niyyah). Quietly form the intention in your heart to perform ‘Umrah for the sake of Allah. Niyyah is internal — you don’t have to say it out loud but be clear in your heart.
2. Prepare & enter Ihram at the miqāt. — Perform ghusl (full ablution) or wudu, put on Ihram clothing (for men: two unsewn pieces; for women: modest dress that fulfills hijab). — Apply perfume before putting on Ihram (do not apply after). — Declare the intention to enter Ihram and begin reciting the Talbiyah: Transliteration: Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk. Labbayk lā sharīka laka labbayk. Innal-hamda wan-niʿmata laka wal-mulk, lā sharīka lak. Translation: “Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am — You have no partner. Verily, all praise, grace, and sovereignty belong to You; You have no partner.” Continue reciting the Talbiyah aloud as you travel toward Makkah until you reach the Masjid al-Haram and are about to begin Tawaf.
3. On arrival — enter Masjid al-Haram respectfully. Ensure you have wudu. Maintain proper etiquette: modest dress, lower voice, avoid pushing, and keep focus on worship.
4. Perform Tawāf (circumambulation of the Kaʿbah). — Begin at the corner of the Kaʿbah where the Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone) is located. If possible, touch/kiss it saying Bismillāh, Allāhu Akbar; if not reachable, point toward it (known as israr) and say Allāhu Akbar. — Make seven complete circuits (counter-clockwise). Each circuit starts and ends opposite the Hajar al-Aswad. Recite dhikr, Qur’ān, or personal duʿāʾs; there is no single required supplication. — Sunnah for men: the first three rounds are often done at a brisk walk (raml); women should walk normally. — After completing seven circuits, go to the area of Maqām Ibrāhīm (if accessible) and offer two rakʿahs of prayer. If Maqām Ibrāhīm is crowded, you may pray anywhere in the Masjid al-Haram.
5. Drink Zamzam (optional but recommended). After Tawaf and the two rakʿahs you may drink Zamzam water and make duʿāʾ — it is encouraged to ask Allah for your needs.
6. Perform Saʿī between Safa and Marwah. — Proceed to Safa, face the Kaʿbah, raise hands, and make duʿāʾ. Then walk toward Marwah — that is counted as the first leg. — Walk back and forth between Safa and Marwah until you have completed seven legs (this ends at Marwah). During the two short marked sections men may walk briskly (raml); otherwise walk at a normal pace. Make duʿāʾs freely during Saʿī.
7. Complete Halq (shaving) or Taqsīr (trimming). — Men: choose between shaving the head (halq — complete shave) or trimming the hair (taqsīr). Shaving is considered more complete, but trimming is permissible. — Women: cut a small portion of hair (commonly a fingertip’s length) — many women simply snip a small lock. After this act your Ihram restrictions are lifted.
8. Exit Ihram. Once hair is cut/shaved, the prohibitions of Ihram end and you return to normal dress and can resume normal activities permitted outside Ihram.
9. Final etiquette & optional acts. — You may perform additional voluntary tawāf (Tawāf al-Nafl) if you wish. — Maintain humility, patience, and good manners throughout; help fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments or harm.
10. Practical reminders & common rules. — Stay in a state of wudu when performing Tawaf and the prayers; if you lose wudu, renew it. If water is not available, perform tayammum where appropriate. — Do not cut nails or hair, use perfume (men), engage in sexual relations, or hunt while in Ihram. Women should follow their usual modest covering (they may cover/uncover the face according to their personal madhhab or practice). — If you are combining Umrah with Hajj, or performing rituals during Hajj season, some rules differ — follow guidance specific to Hajj.
