Are there special considerations for women performing Umrah?

Women perform the same essential rites as men with some differences in practice. Women wear modest regular clothing for Ihram rather than the specific white garments men wear. The hair trimming at the end of Umrah involves cutting a small amount from the ends rather than shaving. Our Women’s Umrah Guide covers Ihram, menstruation considerations, practical safety tips, and packing advice specific to women travelers.
