How long is Umrah? What are the minimum days for Umrah? The questions asked by more than 1000 Muslims. The world is moving fast. Today there are lots of people who want to perform Umrah. But they don't have the time. Here is a guide on performing an Umrah in minimum time.
I have considered the rest time. I have allocated enough time for transportation too.
There are two steps
- Preparing for Umrah

Preparing for Umrah - A minimum Days Umrah
To get ready for Umrah you must have

Performing umrah - how long is umrah - 6 hours maximum
You will have your ihram clothes with you. If the flight is direct, you will wear ihram at the airport, the airport of your departure flight.If the flight has one transit stop. You can wear ihram there. In Some Airlines, the Captian announce before they enter the Meeqat. You have to go to flight lavatory and wear it. Believe me, and it's not a good idea, but doable. And enter the state of ihram.
Click here if you don't have ihram.
Start reciting Talbiyah when you enter the Meeqat.
Once you arrive at Jeddah airport, make sure you confirm, which terminal is your departure terminal. There are two terminals in Jeddah International Airport. Take a taxi to your hotel in Makkah masjid Al Haram. It's a 90 mins journey. Get a shared taxi at $15. Or get a full taxi at $40. Don't pay more than $65 for the whole taxi. Keep reciting the Talbiyah.
Check-in, your hotel! Keep your luggage. If you want to eat, you can eat some food. Ask the reception they will help you.

You can continue to stay at Masjid al-haram or go back to your room.
Leaving Haram
You must have confirmed which terminal you are departing from. Your journey to the airport can be 90 mins. Flight checking closes before 60 mins. Zam water purchasing at the airport can take 15 mins. So leave for the airport before 200 mins of departure. i mean 3 hours and 20 minutes.
