Authorities have recommended pilgrims to select the best times to complete the rites in order to prevent crowding and improve their experience, as the number of Muslims visiting Saudi Arabia for Umrah is increasing.
The optimal times to perform Umrah rituals, which involve strolling between the hills of Safa and Marwah and circling the Holy Kaaba, have been determined by the General Authority for Care of the Two Holy Mosques.
The best times to conduct Umrah are from 6 AM to 8 AM, 12 PM to 2 PM, and 2 AM to 4 AM, according to the authority. The purpose of this advice is to make worshippers’ rituals easier and more peaceful.
