I’ve been blessed to perform Umrah a few times before, but this visit hit differently. I just walked out of the Haram for the final time, and I couldn't hold back the tears. It’s that heavy, aching realization that the privilege of being in His House has come to an end and I have to return to 'normal' life. Has anyone else ever felt this specific heartbreak when leaving Makkah? How do you cope with the transition back home?

Planning to go for Umrah this weekend, in shaa Allah. My last Umrah was about a year ago.
Has anything changed since then that I should know about? Any new rules, tips, or recommendations?

I’ll be flying into Jeddah and traveling to Makkah by train, so I’d also appreciate any advice for the journey , I already know about the transportation options and Miqat, so I’m mainly looking for any recent changes, useful advice, or things you wish you’d known before your trip.

Jazakum Allahu khayran
