Does anyone know which is more less expensive? 1.) Umrah through travel agencies or 2.) Doing Umrah through visit visa and finding hotels and transportation services on your own?
If I use the second method, is it possible to find open hotels during the month of Ramadhan?
Why don't you just ask the travel agency to arrange your Umrah visa (without a related Umrah package on top of that)? Then you can still find hotels and transportation on your own. However I would advise not to go there in High Season if you intend to do everything on your own.
