UMRAH: FOUNDATIONS OF OUR FAITH TOUR
Return to the foundations of your faith, physically and spiritually
Join us for a journey of a lifetime. Perform Umrah and tawaf of the Kabah in the blessed city of Mecca before heading to Madinah to pray in the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) masjid and greet him at his resting place. Throughout the trip, the basics of purity, prayer, and faith are emphasized, while also recollecting the great events of the Prophetic Seerah.
