Can i go to medina

At least you are not on your Ihram when you travel on the plane. Spending a few days in Medina allows you to get used to the place and conditions. If you decide to proceed to Makkah. Forget about sleeping and resting. You that on the plane. Head to Makkah, check in at the hotel people check in all hours of the day and go straight for Tawaaf. Barbers are open all hours of the day as well. If you do not want to walk about at night, bring your own clippers and cut your hair at the hotel.

People travel all hours of the day to Makkah and Medina. People constantly arrive and depart. When I went in , I checked in my hotel about pm.

Thanks PrestonGuild I was thinking the same, that going to Medina first will make us more settled over there Did you use a taxi? A lot of these taxi fares are not fixed but by negotiation and in busy Umrah and Hajj periods they are inflated.

I would say you are looking at about SAR to go to the airport to Medina and about the same to go to Medina to Makkah. However you are in not much of a bargaining position outside the airport with an Ihram on, suitcase in each hand and unable to speak Arabic.

Hi dear friend, It is good news that you decided to go for Umrah in It is life time opportunity and I would rather say it life changing opportunity in ones life to seek Kaba just before eyes and seeking Allah for His blessings and forgiveness.

Here regarding your concerns and odds, I would advise to book an Umrah package by some Hajj and Umrah services providers in your area. It is positive to get an Umrah package with flight opt or opt out , hotel booking, transports for zeyarats visits and others.

It was mashalAllah wonderful all together in every aspect. If you enter Jeddah in the state of Ihraam your intention is to perform Umrah. You can rest whilst travelling to Mecca , once you get to the hotel you can have a shower and re-tie your ihraam have something to eat if you must and then go.

Hotels do allow checkin at any time and the desks are manned most of th enight because people are always coming and going especially if it is a branded hotel. By the time we finished our umrah it was just before Tahajjud time My mother requires the assistance of a wlaking stick and i did struggle to find barbers but now I can direct you where to go and you will find one no problem at that time there are many places open - this is nto an issue.

It is safe to travel in the night but bare in mind a lot of the drivers are not safe drivers I was lucky i had arranged for a Pakistani uncle to pick us up and he was a very good safe driver. I think we paid SAR from Jeddah to Mecca yes you can get it cheaper but there were 4 adults a baby and loads of luggage so I needed a 7 seater. I didnt want to turn up and haglle with a taxi driver I did this last time and it is too much effort, for a small family like yourself a smaller vehicle may be cheaper.

You can always get peopel cheaper but I put other priorities before the cost i. If you have any specific question, please ask always happy to help and have recently come back so everything is fresh in my head. Another thing to consider, if you are going to land on a Thursday evening the first 12 hours are going to be hectic.

I did ,, out of excitment ,, our tickets to pakistan with saudi airlines with stopover for 13 hours,, but then thought ,, that why should we stopover for 13 hours. Now visa is a big issue, any advice will be greatly appreciated. Skip to main content.
