Not only you make a lot of saving owning to advance bookings in airlines and hotels, you also get opportunity to choose the best of seats, convenient flight connections and location of hotels (Distance of your hotel from Masjid al-Haram or Kaaba sharif matters a lot and can make a lot of difference in your overall experience of Umrah).

 

Visa for Umrah is also a very important area during the planning of a Umrah travel, Umrah visa, like visa for any other country could be as easy or as difficult. It is also important to note that no agent is involved in the decision-making process for Umrah visa application and cannot influence the outcome of your visa application.

 

The embassy of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia takes the decision if to grant a visa or deny a visa. Umrah visa application generally takes a 4-5 working days to process but again embassy may take more time, you should ideally give 20 - 25 working days to be on safe side.
