Umrah's performance is truly a blessed opportunity for a Muslim to visit the sacred land and supplicate to Almighty Allah. Millions of Muslim pilgrims travel every year through the hajj packages for the observance of holy rituals. Though Umrah isn’t an obligatory Ibadah, every Muslim desires to perform the pilgrimage with all of his heart and body; similar to similar the obligatory pilgrimage of the hajj.

Since such a huge number of pilgrims are present inside Haramain for the minor pilgrimage, a safe and healthy umrah experience should be the priority. While the authorities there greatly take this specific factor into consideration, individual safety and responsibility should also be taken care of.

Here are a few tips to enjoy a healthy umrah.

Get Vaccinated before your departure.

One of the fundamental parts of pre-preparations of Umrah is to get yourself vaccinated. Getting the necessary vaccination is part of your traveling requirement as mentioned on the visa application. Without it, no pilgrim is allowed to enter the kingdom. Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah puts a great emphasis on vaccination such that there’s a screening procedure on arrival to the kingdom. Consequently, those who haven’t received their vaccination shots would have to get the vaccination from Saudi Arabia.

Have a medical Check-Up.

Another most important thing to consider for a healthy umrah is having yourself medically checked up before your travel. Especially if you are suffering from a chronic disease. Get all of your health tests and scans done so that you may know of your physical abilities and limits; the precautions to take and the medications to take along.

Eat clean and exercise.

When all of your Umrah preparations are finalized, start working on your diet and health so that performing the rituals of Umrah will be hassle-free and tensionless for you. As part of the Umrah rituals, pilgrims actually have to walk miles and miles so if you are not really used to walk much, then you will not be able to persuade your Umrah in a better way. Therefore, build up your stamina beforehand by eating clean and exercising daily.

Keep yourself Hydrated.

If in such a situation, you do not drink enough water, you will get energy drained and some people can even faint.
