For many Muslims living in Texas, especially in and around Dallas, the dream of visiting Makkah and performing Umrah feels powerful and possible. And with the growing number of travel options available now, 2025 may be the best time yet to make that sacred journey.
Umrah is a pilgrimage to Makkah (in Saudi Arabia). It's a little different from Hajj, where the bigger pilgrimage is once a year. You can do Umrah at any time of the year. It's shorter than the Hajj but still holds great value in Islam. It includes some very special acts of worship. For Muslims, Umrah is a beautiful way to seek closeness to Allah, ask for forgiveness, and refresh the heart.
Dallas is home to a huge Muslim population, which means there are more services and more flight options that cater specifically to Muslim travelers. Planning Umrah from Dallas is now easier than ever, and here's why:
Dallas has two main airports: DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth International) and DAL (Dallas Love Field). DFW offers a wide range of international flights. Depending on the airline, flights often have one stop only, sometimes through New York, Chicago, or Istanbul. You don't have to travel far just to begin your journey. You can fly out of your city with peace of mind.
Because the community is big and active, Alhamd Travel has created custom Umrah packages from Dallas, Texas. That means:
Plus, you can attend pre-Umrah seminars, where scholars explain what to do, what to bring, and how to prepare spiritually and practically. This can make a big difference when preparing for something as sacred as Umrah.
When you book an Umrah package from Dallas, here's what you'll usually get:
They typically include round-trip airfare, so your travel from your home country to Saudi Arabia and back is already arranged. You'll also have hotel accommodations in both Makkah and Madinah, ensuring you stay close to the holy sites in both cities.
The Umrah visa is also commonly part of the package, saving you the hassle of applying for it separately. As for meals, that can vary, some packages offer daily meals, while others may not, so it's important to check the details of what's included when choosing your specific plan.
Most packages are 5 to 10 days long, depending on how much you want to see or do. Some packages also include visits to historical sites in Madinah, such as Masjid Quba, Jannatul Baqi, and Mount Uhud.
In the past few years, Umrah travel has been affected by restrictions. But now, rules have relaxed, and Saudi Arabia has made the visa process smoother for travelers from the US. If you're booking early in 2025, you may find early-bird Umrah packages from Dallas that save you hundreds of dollars. Alhamd Travel offers family discounts or installment payment options if you book beforehand.
