Best Time for Umrah from Bangladesh
For most pilgrims from Bangladesh the best time for Umrah is November to January: cooler weather in Makkah, moderate crowds and prices outside the December school holidays. Ramadan carries the greatest reward but the highest prices and crowds. The season usually closes around mid-Shawwal and reopens after Hajj.
