Ofcourse it will be crowded as local expatriates prefer this time for Umra as schools have a short break after exams.But you can choose your tawaaf timings wisely-after Tahajjud,Fajr or after Zuhr on weekdays.This is my practical experience.Anyhow there is always enough room for everyone to pray in this holy place.May Allah accept your prayers.Remember us,all Muslims in your duas.

if you will go by road just avoid to be at SALWA border on week end night ( Thursday) it will be toooo rush ....

if flight , the HARAM will be crowded for Friday prayer only after that u will enjoy the place .

Do not forget us in ur prayers ,and pray for all Muslims.

Take care

First of all May Allah Bless u and all muslims...Congratulations for being invited by Allah at his Place....

Secondly bro...what do u mean by buzy...its March ... Haram will be not at all crowded....and u can do the best umrah and tawaaf literly by touching the wall of Kaaba....and dont think like that ... you are one of the few people who got this chance...think about the people who are just imagining whole like that they will go to Haram...Have a holy trip...Allah Hafiz
