Saudi Arabia is considered as most sacred country for whole Muslim world due to its two holy places, Makkah and Madina.

The primary reason of it is that Umrah can be performed at any time in the year, so we can say that it is a short pilgrimage to Makkah with short series of rituals like Tawaf (seven anti clock circle of Kaaba), Sai (seven round between Safa and Marwa hills) and Taqsir (cutting of hairs). These all rituals demonstrate that Umrah is a physically rigorous exercise that means one must prepare his or herself in advance before to go for this holy journey.You must book hotel or bedsit near to Al-Haram Mosque as there is no need to leave Makkah during Umrah. Umrah is a mini pilgrimage and can be performed in couple of hours but mostly, pilgrims book themselves for 15 days package. There are 320 hotels near Makkah and Madina, providing quality accommodations with great deals and 24/7 customer service.
