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

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.

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

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.
