Pilgrimage Glossary
Umrah & Hajj — Quick Reference
What is Umrah?
Umrah is a non-mandatory Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, that can be performed at any time of the year. Pilgrims enter ihram (a sacred state), perform tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram, complete sa'i (walking) between the hills of Safa and Marwa, and shave or trim the hair. From Shigar, the standard Umrah trip lasts 10-14 days including travel and time in Madinah.
What is Hajj?
Hajj is the obligatory pilgrimage that every able Muslim must perform once in their lifetime. It takes place on specific days of the Islamic month of Dhu'l-Hijjah, with Hajj 2027 expected on 14 May–19 May 2027. From Shigar, Hajj packages typically run 25-40 days and include all rites at Makkah, Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, plus time in Madinah at Masjid an-Nabawi.
