November Umrah With Madinah Ziyarah From Toronto
Quick answer
Yes. The November itinerary includes guided ziyarah in both Madinah and Makkah, with specific sites listed on the live package page.
Ziyarah can add useful historical context to an Umrah journey, but it should not be confused with the rites of Umrah. Al-Ibrahim Travel’s November itinerary lists guided visits in both Madinah and Makkah.
Which sites are listed?
The published Madinah ziyarah lists Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud and Masjid Qiblatain.
The published Makkah ziyarah lists Jabal al-Noor, Jabal Thawr and Mount Arafat.
The itinerary also includes a guided walking tour around Masjid an-Nabawi and its surroundings.
How is ziyarah different from the Umrah rites?
Ziyarah is a visit to important places. It is not part of the required sequence of Umrah. The rites of Umrah are completed in Makkah.
That distinction matters because a traveller should not judge the spiritual value of the trip only by the number of stops. Time for salah, Quran and rest is also important.
When does the group do ziyarah?
Madinah ziyarah is scheduled for November 24. Makkah ziyarah is scheduled for November 27 before the group returns early for Jumu’ah at Masjid al-Haram.
The exact order and timing can change locally, so follow the group leader’s instructions on the day.
