Why should we go for the Easter holidays to perform Umrah?
If you get a chance to perform Umrah in your life, you will not miss it during the Easter holidays of 2023.
Because the Government of the UK closed the doors of outings for individuals because of Coronavirus in 2020. In 2021, the second wave of COVID-19 again stopped UK residents to perform Umrah due to the lockdown.
By the end of 2021, various Corona vaccines had become commonplace on the market. Muslims in the UK celebrated the Easter holidays by performing Umrah because almost everyone had been vaccinated.
Easter always comes between March and April. Now Easter event 2023 starts on Friday 7th April and ends on Monday 10 April. And it’s a lucky time for each Muslim because Ramadan is coming in 2023 on 22 March. So, Muslims can easily earn large rewards during the Easter holidays. People don’t upset about choosing Ramadan Umrah Package 2023 vs Easter Holidays Umrah Package 2023. therefore select any suitable package.
A brief introduction about Umrah:
If you’re going to Umrah for the first time then you have to know about Umrah. Umrah is the name of the journey to Makkah, which can be performed at any time of the year except for 5 days of Hajj. This opportunity to perform Umrah at any time is only for countries that are GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) or Saudi residents.
This does not mean that your Umrah will be completed after reaching Makkah, while the real meaning of Umrah is to perform four important rituals according to Islam. Therefore, Umrah is directly related to your intention.
Without it, you are only visiting these places even if you are in 2 of the world’s greatest mosques (Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi). You should do this when you have prepared yourself properly with the right intentions. This is possible only when you can do it physically, mentally and financially.

Why does the timing of the Easter date change every year?
Most of us think that Easter is a Christian festival like Christmas. Therefore, this festival will come according to the Gregorian calendar but isn’t correct. Every year the date of Easter changes due to the Jewish calendar.
According to the Bible, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ took place after the Jewish Passover. So the followers wanted it to be celebrated, such as what happened at that time. A year has 365 days in the Gregorian calendar and 354 days in the lunar calendar. As a result, the date of Easter varies from year to year.
In Saudi Arabia, Easter is also a time of year when the sunny days return, and the intensity of temperatures is low in March & April (days are longer). It would be better for you to head to Saudi Arabia than spend the Easter holidays in the United Kingdom and Europe. Therefore, performing Easter Umrah is the best time for UK inhabitants to spend sunny holidays.
Another reason to do Umrah during the Easter Festival is the low-budget Umrah package for you. Generally, both Ramadan and December are considered the two peak seasons of Umrah. During Ramadan, the prices of Saudi hotels and flights to Saudi Arabia touch the sky. But during the Easter Festival 2023, you can get the Easter Umrah package 2023 at cheaper rates.
Don’t miss the opportunity to perform Umrah during Easter Holidays in 2023. Outbreaks of the coronavirus have made it impossible for Muslims to perform Umrah since 2020 and 2021. But thanks to the tireless efforts of our medical experts and the invention of vaccines by the grace of Allah, we will be able to perform Umrah this year.
