DIY Umrah

Home » DIY Umrah

Currently, the Saudi border is closed until further notice. Hajj this year will be available only for residents. We have no information of when will Umrah start again. Once this information is available we will share it with you ASAP! 

Welcome to MuslimTravelGirl’s DIY Umrah Guides 

 

In 2012 when I started my dream was to perform an Umrah. After looking at Umrah packages and the prices I was so disappointed I couldn’t afford to visit the Holy cities of Makkah and Medinah in style just like I wanted, so I decided to perform my own DIY Umrah. 

I decided to perform my own DIY Umrah (or Do-It-Yourself Umrah). Since then I have become the “Umrah girl” and I have performed Umrah several times with amazing savings and also helped thousands of other Muslims through this Umrah blog to do exactly the same. 

Umrah should not be an unattainable dream, it should be a spiritual uplift in a busy world! 

Umrah (Islamic Pilgrimage) was one of the best trips I have ever taken and I never even dreamt of having the ability to perform an Umrah during the last 10 nights of Ramadan with massive savings. 

My first Umrah was in 2013 for under £300 per person, including flights and hotels but excluding the visas!

My second Umrah was in 2015 during the last 10 nights of Ramadan in the newly opened Hyatt Makkah and we travelled in business class costing us a total of £2000 for two people and a saving of a standard Umrah package of £18,000. 

My third Umrah was in business class again from Doha with a very cool saving and a five-star stay in the Conrad Makkah and Hilton Convention centre which I reviewed. 

My passion is to help as many Muslims as I can through this site to perform their own Do-It-Yourself Umrah and have amazing experiences without breaking the bank.
