I would really appreciate some useful information and answer to my following questions.

Does a person really needs ummrah package offered through various travel agents?

No as far as I know but you will have to get a umra visa in you are not residing in KSA and for that it’s better to contact a travel agent who will make all the arrangements for you.

Can ummrah be performed without a guide/travel agents?

Yes ! You do not need a guide for Umrah. We did our Hajj without a guide. The travel agents are only responsiblele for your accommodation , travelling & food (if included) rest you will have to do yourself. I have seen groups among turkish , iranian people and from Pakistan Bohra community go in groups but they are not made by travel agents they are a result of a community.

Is it more economical to go with a travel agent?

Yes

what are the minimum day required to perform ummrah??

Once you are in Makkah 1 day is enough.

How difficult it is to get ummrah visa for ramazan??

My dad went with my dadi some 10 years back in ramazan it’s not difficult but you won’t get a nice accommodation , most probably it will be shared.

Please share all the info you think someone would need while planning ummrah during ramazan inshallah.

Jazak-Allah

any specific info you need let me know
