Umrah
Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time of the year, unlike the Hajj which has specific dates. It involves performing a series of religious rituals including circling the Kaaba, walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah, and shaving the head or trimming the hair. Umrah is considered a highly recommended act of worship in Islam, although it is not obligatory.
