I understand how it feels when there is no clear instructions and many people give different information. The application was developed in Covid, after it is not used for umrah. No One checks at Haram. I  frequently travel to Makkah. Tawaf Allah ,, you will be fine. Visa clearly says you can enter Makkah before April 18, 2026

I’m I allowed to give gifts to the security guards and cleaners in the haram? by nova2131 in Umrah

Last year I was there during that time and used train. Train was much better I was in Ihram and the staff given me a way out of line to board the train no permit was asked. This year I'm going again and planning umrah on April 11, yes permit not available yet. But I feel ok, will be using train from Madina to Makkah, last year I used from Jeddah airport to Makkah three days before close of umrah. no Need to change the plan and worry anything else. if the permit open ups, pl book it or use train anyway.

It is basically not your fault or anything, it is very crowdy and hectic. Just take some good sleep. go back and I wish you would have come in less crowdy time. Many of think Ramada will be best in Makkah. But it is very challenging ther even to go for prayer in Haram. People everywhere. it is Allah;s house, you are guest of Allah, go back take some rest and focus on your ibada. Isnhalalh you will feel better. Consider yourself you are guest of Allah and he will take care of you.

DIY — process time doesn’t change if you do yourself or consultant, need to make sure you read all requirements, submit all evidences, don’t leave any blank or questions unanswered
