Umrah is a spiritual pilgrimage that Muslims can perform at any time of the year. It is a smaller pilgrimage compared to Hajj and involves a series of rituals, including Tawaf (circumambulating the Kaaba) and Sa’i (walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah). While Hajj is obligatory for Muslims who meet certain conditions, Umrah is highly recommended but not obligatory.
The primary difference is that Hajj is an obligatory pilgrimage that must be performed at a specific time during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah. It is a fundamental pillar of Islam. Umrah, however, is voluntary and can be performed at any time of the year, except during the days of Hajj.

The best time to perform Umrah depends on your preferences and budget. Ramadan is considered the most rewarding time for Umrah, but it’s also the most expensive and busiest period. If you're looking for a more affordable and quieter experience, the months outside Ramadan, particularly during the off-peak season (March-April and September-November), are ideal.
