Saudi Minister for Hajj and Umrah Dr. Tawfiq al-Rabi'ah suggested that the best days for performing Umrah are Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Sunday.
Saudi Minister said that every pilgrim wants to get closer to the Holy Kaaba and be able to kiss the black stone but not everyone gets the opportunity because of the huge crowd.
He suggested Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday the best days for performing Umrah as the crowd is relatively smaller. He said that the best time of the day to perform Umrah easily is between 7:30 am to 10:30 am and between 11pm to 2am at night.
