How crowded is মক্কা মুকাররমা during Ramadan?

Ramadan is the second busiest period after হজ্জ, attracting millions combining উমরাহ with the holy month's blessings. The first week sees major influx. Weeks two and three dip moderately. The last ten nights see extreme crowds, especially odd nights seeking Laylat al-Qadr.

Tarawih সালাতs are a major draw, with the Haram filling to capacity regularly exceeding two million during the last ten nights. The 27th night typically sees absolute peak attendance. তাওয়াফ between Isha and tarawih can involve 2 to 4 hour waits.

Strategies: perform তাওয়াফ during less busy windows (after Fajr or late after tarawih). Arrive at the Haram 2 hours before সালাতs. Use upper floors. The first half of Ramadan offers good balance of atmosphere and manageable crowds.
