Why Is Thanksgiving the Best Time for a Short Umrah Trip from US  

Thanksgiving Umrah Packages
Table Of Content

    Thanksgiving Umrah Packages are one of the easiest methods for Muslims in the US to undertake Umrah without having to take a long period off work or school. The Thanksgiving holiday provides a rare 7-9 day break that is a fantastic fit for a short, meaningful journey with One More Holiday. It enables the passengers to do Makkah and Madinah visits with a smooth and well planned timetable.

    This time is very popular with American vacationers since it answers their major concern – limited vacation days. Thanksgiving week is a feasible time to conduct Umrah instead of waiting for long holiday. You will be doing Tawaf, Sa’i and Ziyarat while still attending your school or work.

    This time is most preferred by families since it coincides well with school vacations and office holidays. This makes it easier, more organized and less stressful to travel with groups or family.

    Thanksgiving is the best time for Umrah for US Muslims

    Thanksgiving works because it is smack in a natural break period. Most schools are closed. Many offices grind to a halt. It makes a nice little journey. Experience Umrah in 7 to 9 days without the stress and missed commitments. That’s the true edge.

    It also happens to coincide with rapid travel routes from major US airports such as New York (JFK), Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), Dallas (DFW) and Los Angeles (LAX).

    Quick answer: Thanksgiving is a time of freedom. That is why it works.

    Why early booking helps you to get the best deals?

    It’s not optional for the Thanksgiving season to book early. That’s what separates a decent bargain from paying too much.

    Flights to Jeddah Airport (JED) are climbing rapidly in November. Hotels around the Haram also fill up fast. Especially at the prime prayer periods. But there’s the rub. The closer you book to departure, the less choice you have of hotels near Makkah.

    Booking Thanksgiving Umrah Packages in advance allows you to secure:

    • Lower flight costs
    • Better location of hotel
    • Group time preferred
    • Simplified visa issuance by the Ministry of Hajj & Umrah
