What is the Umrah Season in Saudi Arabia?

The Umrah season in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the period during which pilgrims are allowed to perform the Umrah rituals, which consist of circumambulating al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa, walking between Safa and Marwa, after entering the state of Ihram from one of the designated Miqat (entry points for Ihram) before performing Hajj or Umrah.

The Umrah season for pilgrims arriving from abroad and the issuance of their visas begins annually after the Hajj season, specifically on the thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah each Hijri year. It continues until the beginning of the Hajj season, during which Umrah is not permitted for non-Hajj pilgrims.
