Umrah is one of the holiest practices for Muslims all around the world. However, due to the lack of proper travel advisory, many pilgrims face problems before traveling. But worry no more. In this blog, we have compiled the necessary information that Umrah pilgrims need before starting their Umrah process. The rules for Umrah 2022 are as follows:
- It has been declared by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah that pilgrims above the age of 12 years are allowed to enter the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Madinah.
