Ihram at the Miqat<\/h2>\n<p>The pilgrim performs ghusl and puts on the Ihram garments before the Miqat. Travellers flying from Egypt usually enter Ihram before passing the Miqat, and the cabin crew announces it. Then make the intention for Umrah and begin the Talbiyah.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Tawaf<\/h2>\n<p>Tawaf starts at the Black Stone: seven circuits with the Kaaba on your left, making whatever supplications you can. After Tawaf, pray two rak'ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim if possible.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Sa'i between Safa and Marwah<\/h2>\n<p>Seven laps starting at Safa and ending at Marwah. The distance is fairly long, so wear comfortable shoes; wheelchairs are available for the elderly.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Shaving or Trimming<\/h2>\n<p>Men shave or trim their hair and women cut a fingertip's length; with this the Umrah is complete and the pilgrim leaves Ihram.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Drink water constantly \u2014 Zamzam water is available throughout the Haram.<\/li>\n<li>Choose less crowded times for Tawaf, such as mid-morning.<\/li>\n<li>Always carry a copy of your passport and your hotel card.<\/li>\n<li>Save the supervisor's and our office's numbers on your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A simple explanation of the Umrah rites in order, with practical tips for your first Umrah.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-umrah-guide"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldtourseg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
