This paper investigates and proves the potential of using 360 Degree Photography technique in developing Virtual Umrah application. This technique serves as an interactive tool to enhance technology based on learning and training and these findings lead to the idea to develop Virtual Umrah application. These techniques are divided into two components namely Virtual Environment and Virtual Object. The Virtual Reality of 360 Degree Photography technique is a learning based environment, essential to help educators overcome the limitations in traditional training sessions. This technique is beneficial to help users to understand better by providing the simulations of real-world using image based model with high degree of realistic user experience and interactivity. The Virtual Umrah modules show the real activities of the umrah ritual and help to generate ideas to pilgrims on what they have learnt.
