What is Umrah, and how is it performed?
Ihram, tawaf, sa’y and shortening the hair: a calm outline of Umrah. The group teacher completes the rites with you.

What is Hajj? A calm map of the obligatory journey
A particular place, a particular season, particular rites. The pillars and types of Hajj, and how registration with Surre works.
September 17, 2026
Preparing for Umrah: heart, home and suitcase
Making amends, the seminar, health and a simple suitcase. Documents have their own page; here we talk about the rhythm of the road.
September 16, 2026
Preparing for Hajj: taking the hardship seriously
Hajj is walking, sun and crowds. A modest note on wird, health, bags and the pace of the group.
September 15, 2026
Documents needed for Hajj
Passport, photographs, vaccination and agency registration — the list changes by year. We lock the exact items by phone.

A typical Umrah day: how the hours flow
Fajr, the Haram, meals and visits. Not every group walks at the same hour; a sample rhythm.
September 13, 2026
Hajj days in outline: the skeleton of the rites
From Tarwiyah to Eid, Arafat to Mina. No promise of hours; the order of the obligations and the pace of a Surre group.
September 12, 2026
Places to visit in Makkah
Beyond the Haram: Nur, Thawr, al-Mu’alla, Hudaybiyyah and Arafat. The visit programme depends on the group and on permits.
September 11, 2026
Places to visit in Madinah
The Prophet’s Mosque, the Rawdah, al-Baqi’, Uhud, Quba and Qiblatayn. Days in Madinah are built without hurry.

How to choose an Umrah package
Economy, silver, gold, platinum: the difference is hotel distance, room and pace. Price alone is not the measure.
September 9, 2026
How to read Umrah prices
Quad, triple, double; fuel surcharge, visa, season. We open calmly what sits under a line that looks cheap.
September 8, 2026
Ramadan Umrah: crowds, tarawih, quiet
The pace of iftar and suhur, the last ten nights, why hotel distance matters. A Ramadan group is not for everyone.
September 7, 2026
What you need to know about ihram
Intention and talbiyah, izar and rida, the miqat, the prohibitions. The cloth is not ihram itself; we set the intention in the seminar.
September 6, 2026
Tawaf and sa’y: steps, intention, crowd
Seven circuits, Safa–Marwah, idtiba and ramal. Intention sets the type of tawaf; a crush is not a condition of the rite.
September 5, 2026
Umrah: questions we hear often
Where ihram is put on, when the visa comes, what a package holds, whether a boutique group is possible. Short answers, a longer call.
September 4, 2026
Visiting the Rawdah and Nusuk
Entry to the green carpet is, in most seasons, by appointment. We do not promise a slot; manners and the teacher’s direction are enough.
September 3, 2026
An early call, places and instalments
An early conversation is for holding the season, before any discount sentence. Instalments with Albaraka in the call; no till on the site.
September 2, 2026
Umrah with women, elders and children
Mahram, pace, wheelchairs, a child’s sleep. Choose the package with these sentences, without shyness.
August 28, 2026
Documents needed for Umrah
Passport, photographs and current rules — we confirm the list by phone.
August 25, 2026
Preparing for a first Umrah: a calm checklist
Passport, ihram and spiritual readiness — call us for the current document list.

Where does the name Surre come from?
The Ottoman Surre tradition and the trust we carry in our name.
