How long does Umrah take?
The core Umrah rituals usually take about 3–6 hours if it isn’t too busy. Most people plan a short trip of 3–7 days so they can rest, pray comfortably, and not feel rushed. Many packages run 5–10 days, often with a visit to Madinah.

- Ihram and intention at the miqat
- Tawaf (7 circuits around the Ka‘bah)
- Two rak‘ahs of prayer
- Drinking Zamzam
- Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah (7 lengths)
- Halq or taqsir (shaving or trimming hair)
Rough timings
- Tawaf: about 1–2 hours
