You could always do a Ziyarat tour package, which is a tour guide that will take you by taxi to all the sacred places and historical sites in either Makkah/Madinah. On reflection I should have booked this instead of trying to plan everything myself.
I think it’s definitely worth doing especially if you can get a guide that can give you tours of the places. This is something I intend to pay for on my next trip. For example, had I had this for visiting Uhud Mountain, this would have been much more fulfilling and proper as someone who is knowledgeable can give you an excursion to the right place. So something to consider.
One thing that anyone planning to do Umrah is that an Umrah visa costs around £185 whereas a standard KSA visa costs around £35 which is a bit dumb to be honest considering that it would be cheaper in most cases to paying the additional baggage fee to get the ZamZam water rather than pay the Umrah visa. So something to keep in mind.
