Following the successful conclusion of Hajj seasons, Saudi Arabia has reopened its doors to international Umrah pilgrims. As of June 11, the new Umrah season is officially underway and will continue into 2026 (1447H), inviting Muslims worldwide to undertake the spiritually significant lesser pilgrimage.
Unlike Hajj, which is restricted to a specific five-day period in the Islamic lunar calendar, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year (except during the Hajj season).
