refers to a sacred journey in which Muslims from various countries travel to
the Holy Kabah after getting awareness about its performance and significance
and booking Umrah Packages.

must wear Umrah traveler's clothes (Ihram) and desire to conduct Umrah or Hajj
upon entering the blessed city. If it wasn't Hajj season, he or she wore Umrah
pilgrim's dress for performing "single Umrah" and executing its
demonstrations according to the Islamic teachings.

Putting on pilgrim's dress (called "Ihram") and stating the intention
(Niyyah).

Meeqat station or the nearest point to the Holy Mosque, pilgrims must wear
