Perform Umrah with Muslims Holy Travel’s July Umrah Packages from the UK

Umrah in July: An In-Depth Analysis

Umrah is open year-round, except on Hajj. Umrah season begins on the 1st of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic year. Since the last 2-3 years, July has been coinciding with Hajj, and very few pilgrims went for Umrah. In 2024, 1st Muharram will fall on July 7th, and in 2025, it will move to June because the Islamic calendar shortens by 10 days each year. The above discussion makes Umrah in July even more exciting. You can begin the Islamic New Year with Allah’s blessings. This is an added advantage of booking July Umrah packages 2025. However, you must still make your decision carefully. To help you make the right call, the following section illuminates different aspects to consider before booking an Umrah deal.

Saudi Arabia Weather in July

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the hottest countries in Asia. The temperature in summer can reach up to 50 °C, and this can be too much for many pilgrims while performing Umrah. The average temperature for the summer months is 29–43 °C, and it lasts from May to September. Out of all these months, July is the hottest because the days are long and the nights are short. However, the good part is that July falls in the monsoon season. You may get to see some rain during a July Umrah. And trust us, you don’t want to miss a chance to see Masjid Al Haram and the Prophet's Mosque drenched in rain. It will melt your heart and make you fall in love with Allah’s magnificence all over again.

The above discussion makes it clear that performing Umrah in July isn’t going to be easy due to the harsh weather. However, being in Mecca and Medina inspires Muslims to stand up and face the heat. It reveals how hard it was for Hazrat Bilal (RA) to bear the atrocities of Kufaar, who made him lie on piping-hot sand on the streets of Mecca. If you prefer to perform Umrah in a cooler environment, don’t go in July. Instead, call us and get details about plans for the winter months.

Crowds in the Holy Cities

Due to the hot weather, the crowds are fewer compared to Ramadan and the winter months. The mosques are rarely fully occupied during the day, but the crowds start to build up after Maghrib and Isha prayers. Most pilgrims prefer to pass the day in their hotels and come out for pilgrimage after the sun goes down. Performing Umrah right after Fajar prayers is also a nice idea because the sun is not at its peak and the crowds are fewer. Day and Night Time ComparisonThe days are much longer than the nights in July. As already explained, most pilgrims stay in hotels during the day and come out in the evening. One way to augment your Umrah trip and pray from the comfort of your hotel is to get 5-star Umrah packages, as they often come with hotels considered inside the Haram boundaries. Pilgrims can pray here just like they are actually inside Haram.

Local Holidays

One added benefit of going for Umrah in July is that you can plan your trip with your family and relatives. Since there are local holidays in July and August in the UK, Muslims Holy Travel, has designed Umrah packages for families. The deals are all-inclusive and come with flights, hotels, meals, and transportation.

Cost of Doing Umrah from the UK

A critical factor that often stops many people from going to Umrah is the package cost. For all people running tight on budget, July is the best option to fulfil their religious duties. The price of Umrah deals is highest in Ramadan and then during the winter. Moreover, to further keep the price under control, July Umrah packages for groups are excellent. Such deals come with shared hotels and transportation, allowing Umrah tour operators to offer low-priced plans.

Tips for Performing Umrah in July

As we all know, Umrah can be a physically draining worship. The rituals demand 100% strength and stamina. Many pilgrims get dehydrated during Umrah trips. The main reason is the hot temperature, as already explained. However, here are some tips to beat the heat and stay healthy during the minor pilgrimage.

• Engage in light physical activities at least 2 weeks before going for Umrah. A 30 to 60-minutes daily walk will set you on par with Umrah rituals.
• Pack water bottles, energy bars, and some snacks in a backpack, and take it with you when outdoors for Umrah or ziarats. Drink enough water during Tawaf and Sa’i.
• Don’t forget to eat healthy and sleep for at least 6-7 hours in a peaceful environment when in Saudi Arabia. Sleeping peacefully is vital to maintain good health, and this is where July Umrah packages with better hotels play a critical role. These places offer better rooms with AC, comfy beds, and other essential facilities to make your journey comfortable.
• An excellent way to avoid scorching sunshine outdoors is to use umbrellas and rechargeable neck fans. These things help keep your shoulders, neck, and head cool, avoiding any chances of a heat stroke. Moreover, using sunscreen is also recommended.
• Take special care of the elderly, kids, and females with you. If you are accompanied by disabled pilgrims, stay with them all the time and adjust your pace accordingly.
• Take breaks between Tawaf and Sa’i to regain your strength. Don’t overexert yourself, and pay attention to any signs of discomfort.
• Buy comfortable footwear as per Umrah requirements, and use moisturisers to avoid rashes and blisters. If you don’t know which type of shoes to wear, consult your Umrah service provider.
• If you are on medication or someone with you has a chronic disease and requires regular doses, keep enough medicines with you. Don’t forget to keep a health information card with you, mentioning your disease, medicines, blood group, and other essential information, so you can be attended to quickly in case of an emergency.
