To fulfill this wish, most of you would be planning to perform it and choose a package. Whether you want to book an Umrah package from Delhi or from any town/city of your country, there are certain things to keep in mind. Here are what you should consider:

Tour & travel company 

First of all, you should think about the company or tour & travel agency offering Umrah packages from your local city/town. Check whether the agency or travel operator is genuine and trustworthy. Think about their industry experience and accreditation and recognition to respective government authorities and allied bodies. 

Season/weather 

As per Quran, the Holy book of Islam, you can perform Umrah at any time of the year. However, you need to be careful about the weather at Mecca and Madina before you book an Umrah package from Delhi or your locality. Thinking about the weather will help you make specific arrangements for this religious journey. You need to make your booking in advance if you wish to go for this pilgrimage during holiday seasons. As far as possible, think about performing this spiritual journey in the off season, not during holidays for your convenience and comfort. 

Cost 

Performing Umrah means you need to go to Mecca and Madia and get a respective visa. It includes costs for accommodation, flight tickets, transportation, etc. that could be expensive for most of you. However, choosing an Umrah package as per your actual needs could be less costlier for you. It will be better for you to decide how much you can spend and compare a few umrah packages from your locality. You can start funding it after planning it to perform this pilgrimage at a certain time in the future to make it easily accessible for you. 

Accommodation 

Mecca and Madina are the most important holy places for Islamic followers spread all over the world.
