1. Is it really possible to perform Umrah for free?

Yes — but not in the sense that everything is free.
What’s possible is reducing planning, guidance, consultation, and mistakes to zero cost, and lowering flight + hotel expenses through smart timing, early booking, and choosing the right areas. Some people also save through promotions, group travel, and point redemptions.

2. Is free Umrah consultation really free?

Yes.
At Almazarat Travel, our team provides completely free Umrah consultation, including:

  • itinerary planning

  • hotel comparisons

  • budgeting

  • explanation of visa rules

  • best travel seasons

  • advice for first-timers

No charges, no hidden fees — ever.

3. How much does Umrah normally cost in 2025?

For most travelers, typical costs include:

  • Flights: USD $600–$1,200 (depending on city & season)

  • Hotels: $30–$250 per night (depending on distance & category)

  • Transportation: $20–$60

  • Food: $10–$20 per day

  • Visa: $140

This guide helps you reduce many of these costs.

4. What is the cheapest month to perform Umrah in 2025?

Generally:

  • February

  • May–June

  • September–November

These months are outside peak seasons and typically offer cheaper flights and hotel rates.

5. Can I get cheaper hotels if I don’t stay in the first ring?

Yes. Staying 300–900 meters from Haram can reduce costs by 50–70% while still being very walkable — especially for young and healthy travelers. For families or elders, consulting our team helps pick the right distance.

6. Can I plan Umrah without joining a package?

Absolutely — and it’s often cheaper.
DIY Umrah lets you:

  • choose your airline

  • pick your hotel

  • decide your length of stay

  • avoid unnecessary add-ons

We help pilgrims build DIY itineraries for free.

7. How do I avoid scams or overpriced Umrah packages?

Tips:

  • Avoid agencies that cannot provide real hotel booking numbers

  • Beware of “too good to be true” prices during peak season

  • Always check the walking distance yourself, not just “near Haram” claims

  • Ask for photos or videos of actual room views

If unsure, you can simply ask our team to check it.

8. What if it's my first time going for Umrah?

No problem.
We help many first-timers understand:

  • Ihram rules

  • Miqat

  • Tawaf & Sa’i

  • What to pack

  • How to move between cities

  • How to avoid common mistakes

Our team will guide you step-by-step without any charge.

9. Do you provide a free personalized Umrah itinerary?

Yes — fully customized based on:

  • your travel dates

  • your budget

  • number of days

  • whether you're traveling with kids or elders

  • your preferred hotel level

You can request one anytime.

10. Why is this website offering free help?

Because we believe guidance should be accessible to every Muslim, not only those who can afford expensive consultation. Our mission is to make information clear, halal, and beneficial for all pilgrims.
