About | All About Umrah

Why this site exists

All About Umrah exists because planning Umrah is harder than it should be. Information is scattered, outdated, or written by people who have never set foot in Makkah or Madinah. This site is written from Madinah, by someone who lives here, and updated regularly to reflect how things actually are on the ground. The aim is to give every English-speaking Muslim the information they need.

Step-by-step guidance, Ihram rules, what to pack, and everything in between.

Written by Idrees

I'm Idrees, and I live in Madinah. I am not a travel agent. My income from this site comes from directory listing fees and referrals, which are always disclosed. My writing comes from lived experience having completed Hajj and Umrah more times than I can remember (Alhamdulillaah).

I built this site to give Muslims a reliable place to research and plan their Umrah. The guides are written to be useful, and the directory exists to connect pilgrims with Umrah companies.
