Why US Pilgrims Should Travel in December
When to perform Umrah causes a lot of concern. Finally, December has special advantages that make it an excellent month for US Muslims to undertake the pilgrimage.
Blessed Weather That Supports Worship
By December, Saudi Arabia is no sweltering July. You’ll be able to enjoy nice temperatures from 18°C up to 28°C, the perfect weather for performing each ritual effortlessly.
Picture Tawaf without the heat and exhaustion. Imagine doing Sa’i with vigor and attention. Imagine carrying on the ritual of standing there in dhikr, for long moments without being paralyzed by the sun.
The agreeable air and the serene sky are conducive to exclusive devotion. You won’t be troubled by discomfort or health issues. For pilgrims who are older, this mild climate is a blessing. UmraPackage creates December packages so seniors can easily participate.
US School Holidays Make Family Travel Easy
The Christmas break is your golden chance. Schools go on holiday for the best two weeks of the year, enabling families to make vacations out of it. The children will not miss any vital content or fall behind with their studies.
And it is a convenient time for working parents as well. Most workplaces are closed for Christmas, or open with a reduced schedule. Taking time off becomes easy without the guilt of long work hours.
This holiday schedule is designed so that your family travels together. Umrah is performed as an entire family; grandparents, parents and children. UmraPackage’s family packages are great for multigenerational travel.
A More Personal, Peaceful Experience
Whereas Ramadan brings millions generating electric spiritual atmosphere, December offers a different asset — intimacy and space. The holy mosques are less crowded and the pilgrims have more space during Tawaf and prayers.
You’ll find fewer queues for Zamzam water. Black Stone is more accessible to pilgrims. Finding some private nooks for personal dua seems closer to reality. This placid atmosphere benefits first-time pilgrims, who might become overwhelmed by the throngs.
This is especially nice for those families with young kids. Less traffic leads to better conditions for kids and less parental stress.
End the Year Spiritually
There are 31 days in December, which is a special month since the year is coming to an end. And for many Muslims in the US, it is seen as a perfect time to reflect on the previous year, ask forgiveness and begin anew with fresh faith.
Doing Umrah in December is a great way to reset your spiritual energies. You arrive home just before New Year with blessings to take into new beginnings.
