Preparing for\u00a0travel to Mecca<\/strong>\u00a0is a real blessing, especially when you're well looked after, isn't it? But what about\u00a0Umrah for children\u00a0<\/strong>? Is it possible to travel with them? And how do you get organised?<\/p>\n

If you're in this situation, you're probably asking yourself 1001 questions. That's good news, because the\u00a0HARAMAIN VOYAGES<\/strong>\u00a0has decided to bring you the news!<\/p>\n

The omra for children: good or bad idea?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Obviously, it's a very good idea. Is there a more beautiful place on earth than\u00a0Mecca\u00a0<\/strong>to welcome your cherubs! Your religious apprenticeship with them can take shape in this holy place of\u00a0Islam<\/strong>without a doubt bi idhnillah!<\/p>\n

However, a good idea does not necessarily mean easy. And parents certainly know that. Every outing needs to be organised in advance, so what about this\u00a0religious journey<\/strong>\u00a0out of the ordinary!<\/p>\n

It is also true that during the short pilgrimage (Umrah), certain rites such as the prayers at the Masjid Nabawi are performed separately, i.e. the man is separated from the woman. As a result, the children will have to be looked after alone at that time. Although this may seem difficult, nothing is insurmountable! All you have to do is go at your own pace and avoid putting pressure on yourself. And always remember that looking after your children is an act of worship!<\/p>\n
