The Muslims all over the world perform Umrah to clean the soul of past sins. It is believed that Umrah is protection from poverty and the burdens of life because the one spends wealth and time in the path of Allah. There are two key rituals of Umrah, Tawaf and Sa’i. Tawaf is a circling round the Kaaba seven times. For men it is suggested to do the first three circuits in a hurried pace, followed by four rounds of a more leisurely pace. Enter Al Masjid Al Haram (Holy Mosque) and perform Tawaf. And Sa’i is walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah beside the Kaaba. At the end of Umrah, men exit from Ihram by shaving their head (Taqseer). Women in Saudi Arabia Can Now Perform Hajj and Umrah Without a Male Guardian.

This is one of the two holiest cities millions of pilgrims visit while coming on Umrah. The city is centered around Al Masjid an Nabawi, also known as the Prophet's Mosque, which was constructed by the Prophet himself and is also where he is buried. The Madinah is also called The Enlightened City.
