Unveiling the Rich Experiences Await Young Umrah Pilgrims
Saudi Arabia’s recent reforms have significantly revamped the Umrah pilgrimage, transforming it into a more convenient and engaging experience, especially appealing to younger individuals. Beyond performing the Umrah rituals, the journey now offers a diverse cultural and entertaining experience, catering not only to families but also to the youth.
Travelling for Umrah has become considerably more convenient and accessible year-round, thanks to the simplified process of obtaining visitor visas to Saudi Arabia or electronic Umrah Visas. The E-Visa option is now available to citizens from 63 countries, as well as holders of US, UK, and Schengen visas, through the Nusuk website. This platform not only assists with planning and booking but also provides comprehensive information, services, and package options in 10 languages. With a plethora of hotel choices in Mecca and Medina, this initiative aims to make Umrah more affordable and hassle-free, reflecting the Kingdom’s commitment to providing diverse accommodation options around the Haram to fulfill the needs of all visitors.
Visitors also have the opportunity to partake in a variety of events and festivals, including Riyadh Season and Diriyah Season. Additionally, they can attend football matches, witnessing the skills of the world’s top players. Every Ramadan, Hayy Jameel in Jeddah hosts a captivating program tailored for both youth and families, featuring enjoyable evening events.
Following the completion of Umrah, travelers have several activities to engage in. History enthusiasts can explore Mada’in Saleh, an archaeological marvel tracing back to the Nabatean civilization, or pay a visit to Quba Mosque, revered as the inaugural mosque in Islam, situated in Medina. For nature lovers, the Farasan Islands in the Red Sea, renowned for their rich biological diversity, and the Rub’ al Khali desert, the world’s largest sand desert, ensure an unparalleled adventure.
Furthermore, the Asir region stands out for its remarkable geographical diversity and nature. Meanwhile, Jeddah acts as a gateway to extraordinary diving adventures, with unique areas nearby showcasing the mesmerizing marine life of the Red Sea.
