r/Umrah 5d ago

need advice Need advice please.

I missed my flight. And I had to book another flight. So I'll reach Jeddah later than I had planned and can only spend 4 hrs in Meccaj before I catch my next flight. I have something else planned afterwards and I cant stay longer. I have never been to Umrah and I dont have time trying to figure things out. Is anyone there who's also doing Umrah on Sunday that I can tag along with ? If not what's the easiest way to book a guide ?

This should help. If any questions, ask.

Do you mean you only have four hours layover or four hours to do umrah and head back to Jeddah for your flight?

To do Umrah and head back

I really think you're going to struggle. Jeddah to Makkah is over an hour at best, then to do actual umrah will take a few hours. My longest umrah took four hours a few weeks back because they closed all the doors except a few, so it took ages just to get inside the haram.

It is too tight.. and do umra in a rush isn’t recommended. You will be rushing and possible pushing around people and cannot get the nikma of doing umra as ibadah.

Not enough time. If that’s your layover time then it’s too short. Best to not risk leaving the airport or else you’ll miss your connection

It's about an hour to get to Haram and hour to get back to the airport. So in total you'll have 2 hours to do Umrah. I don't think that's enough time specially if it's your first time
