What better Muslim family-friendly trip to go on than to Mecca? This holy journey is one that so many Muslims around the globe eagerly anticipate in order to strengthen their faith and be spiritually cleansed. Completing Umrah as a family can encourage unity amongst one another and help you create fulfilling memories that will last a lifetime. If you are thinking of completing Umrah as a family, here are some things you should consider to ensure a smooth experience:
Prepare Spiritually
Understanding why you are completing Umrah is important for a meaningful experience. Sit down as a family and learn what the rituals are; make it fun by quizzing each other, and use visual guides to boost engagement.
Fly in Cooler Months
Unlike Hajj, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year. To avoid the stresses that come with performing Umrah in high temperatures, flying in winter is highly advised.
Take Home Comforts
Keep children happy by packing home comforts such as familiar snacks and their favourite pair of comfortable shoes.
Pack the Essentials
Bringing along reusable water bottles, sunhats, and sunscreen can help your family stay safe if travelling in warmer months.
Take Breaks
Make time for regular breaks to allow for rest. You can make breaks fun by bringing books about the prophets, small toys, and games.
Plan for Emergencies
Mecca can become very crowded, so decide on a place to meet in case of separation and ensure children have contact information on them at all times.
