Umrah is a voluntary Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Unlike Hajj, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year and is considered a highly recommended Sunnah. It involves entering Ihram, performing Tawaf around the Kaaba, and completing Sa'i between Safa and Marwa.

Habib e haram offers a complete range of Umrah services for Pakistani pilgrims: Saudi Umrah visa processing for all Pakistani passport holders, economy and business class return flights from Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, hotel accommodation ranging from budget-friendly to 5-star properties near Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid-e-Nabawi in Madinah, airport transfers and private transportation, optional Ziyarat programs, and dedicated 24/7 pilgrim support.
Enter Ihram: Put on the Ihram garments at the Miqat (designated boundary) and make the intention (Niyyah) for Umrah.
Tawaf: Circumambulate the Holy Kaaba seven times in an anticlockwise direction, starting from the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad).
Pray at Maqam Ibrahim: Offer two rakats of prayer at or near Maqam Ibrahim after Tawaf.
Sa'i: Walk seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa, commemorating Hajar's (AS) search for water.
Halq or Taqsir: Men shave or shorten their hair; women cut a small portion. This completes the Umrah
