Why people fly Lahore to Medina
Lahore sends large numbers of Umrah pilgrims every year, from groups of friends and extended families to elderly parents travelling with their children. Medina is cherished for Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Rawdah, Quba Mosque and Uhud. Many pilgrims begin in Medina, spend several days in Ziyarat and prayer, and then travel to Makkah for Umrah. Others visit relatives who live and work in Medina.
Best time to travel
Winter and early spring bring pleasant weather in Medina for walking between sites. Ramadan is a deeply special time with a larger gathering of visitors, and the Hajj season changes the pattern of demand around it. Many Lahore families plan around school holidays and Ramadan, so booking early gives more choice of dates.
