A First-Timer’s Guide to Performing Umrah

Everything a first-time pilgrim from Uganda should know before travelling for Umrah, from ihram to tawaf.

At Makkah Madinah Hajj Services, we believe that a well-prepared pilgrim is a peaceful pilgrim. Our travel advisors have guided thousands of Ugandan Muslims through this very journey, and the guidance below distils the questions we hear most often.

Before you travel, take time to understand each rite, gather your documents early, and speak with someone who has been before. Our team runs pre-departure briefings in Kampala so that every member of your group boards the plane knowing exactly what to expect on arrival in the Kingdom.

Speak to an advisor

This article is part of our ongoing series for pilgrims. If you have a specific question about your trip, our advisors are available seven days a week to help you plan with confidence.
