Umrah from New York
So, you live in New York. Maybe in NYC or near it. And you want to do Umrah. But you don't know where to start. It can feel scary at first. Umrah is a holy pilgrimage that Muslims undertake to Makkah (Mecca). It's not like Hajj, which you must do at a certain time. You can do Umrah any time of the year. That's why so many people from NYC do it, and Alhamd Travel is here to help you in this journey.
What Is Umrah?
Okay. Let's explain. Umrah is a pilgrimage, a journey to a holy place. For Muslims, it means going to the Kaaba in Makkah.
You do special steps:
- Wear Ihram (white cloth for men, simple dress for women).
- Do Tawaf (walk around the Kaaba seven times).
- Do Sa'i (walk between two hills called Safa and Marwa seven times).
- Cut hair (men shave or trim, women cut a bit).

Hotels In Makkah And Madinah

Umrah is not easy for kids. But people do take them. Take snacks, stroller, small toys. For old people, get a wheelchair. Some packages help you rent one. Additionally, choose hotels with elevators.
