Choose your Umrah package

These are Umrah packages with flights included, and our Umrah packages near the Haram put a hotel close to Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah, with transfers and Nusuk permit support. Before we recommend a hotel, our team checks the walking route, the entrance and step-free access, so the distance on paper matches the walk. On the Makkah side, the Ajyad hotels we use sit near the less-crowded Safa entrance.

3-Star Economy Umrah Packages

These budget Umrah packages UK pilgrims choose most use central Emaar properties in Ajyad, such as Emaar Afaq Al Sud or Emaar Diwan Al Sud in Makkah (approx. 900 m from Masjid al-Haram), with Emaar Taiba or Grand Zowar in Madinah (approx. 600 m from Masjid an-Nabawi).

• 3-Star, 7 nights from £725 pp: 4 nights in Makkah, 3 in Madinah, a complete first Umrah at our entry price.

Umrah with a stopover

Prefer to break the journey or see more on the way? You can add a two to four-day stay to your Umrah in a Muslim-friendly city. Popular combinations include Doha (from £1,395 pp), Dubai (from £1,295 pp), Istanbul (from £1,375 pp), and Cairo for the Pyramids and the Nile (from £1,699 pp), each with 5 to 10 nights of Umrah alongside. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will build it around your package.

What's included in our Umrah packages, and what isn't

A complete Umrah package normally includes return flights, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, airport transfers, inter-city transport and Nusuk guidance.

We describe our packages as fully bundled, and we spell out exactly what is and isn't in the price rather than leaving you to guess. Every Makkah Tour Umrah package includes:

• Return flights from a UK airport with a trusted carrier such as Saudia, British Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines or Etihad Airways.
• Hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, within walking distance of Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi at your chosen star rating.
• All airport and inter-city transfers, from Jeddah or Madinah airport to your hotel and between the two cities.
• Nusuk permit support. We guide you through the Nusuk app and the service-package requirement so your Umrah permit is in place before you travel.
• On-ground assistance from a UK-based team and representatives in Saudi Arabia throughout your trip.

A few things are usually not included, so you can budget for them:

• Guided Ziyarat tours of the historical sites, including the Rawdah, Jannat al-Baqi, Mount Uhud, Masjid Quba (Quba Mosque) and Masjid Qiblatain in Madinah, and the key sites around Makkah, such as Jabal al-Nour and the Cave of Hira (Ghar e Hira) (available as an add-on).
• Meals and board upgrades. Packages are usually room-only or breakfast, and full-board or Ramadan Iftar and Suhoor plans can be added.
• The Saudi government's ETA or visa fee, where it isn't part of your package, and travel insurance.
• Extra nights, room upgrades or a stopover are all available on request.

How much does an Umrah package cost from UK?

From the UK, our Umrah packages start from £725 per person for 3-star, 7 nights, and rise with star rating, trip length, travel season and departure city. 4-star packages start from £765 pp and 5-star from £825 pp. A few things move the price:

• Hotel star rating and distance to the Haram: Closer, higher-rated hotels cost more.
• Trip length: 10- and 14-night stays cost more than 7 nights, but the fixed flight and permit costs are spread over more nights.
• Travel season: Ramadan, December and Easter carry a premium, while off-peak months are cheapest.
• Room sharing, explained below.
• Departure city and flight routing: Direct flights and popular airports can cost more than one-stop routes.

Every 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star Umrah package (7, 10 or 14 nights) starts under £1,000 per person, so you can perform Umrah from UK affordably; peak-season and premium rooms cost more. The average Umrah cost from UK is £725 to £975 per person, including flights, hotels in both cities, transfers and Nusuk support; a family of four sharing a quad pays about £2,900.

Room sharing: quad, triple and double

Sharing a room brings the per-person price down. Quad sharing, four adults per room, is the most economical and suits groups. Triple sharing sits in the middle. Double sharing gives couples and small families more privacy at a higher per-person rate. Tell us your group, and we will quote the right mix.

When is the best and cheapest time to go for Umrah from UK?

The cheapest time for Umrah from UK is off-peak, usually January and February. Ramadan, December and Easter cost the most.

• Cheapest (off-peak): January, February and the quieter weeks after Hajj, when flight and hotel demand and rates are lowest.
• Mid-range: September, October and November, with moderate demand and reasonable availability.
• Peak: Ramadan, the December school holidays and Easter, roughly 20 to 40% more; hotels near the Haram fill first, so book early.
• Ramadan note: an Umrah in Ramadan carries a reward equal to Hajj, in reward only, and doesn't discharge the Hajj obligation. Only one Umrah per person is allowed that month, and the last ten nights go first.
• First-timer tip: arrive a day before your Nusuk permit date so jet lag doesn't eat into your first tawaf.

Umrah visa, the Saudi ETA and Nusuk in 2026-27, explained simply

Most UK passport holders travel on the Saudi ETA, launched 1 July 2026, plus a separate Nusuk permit for the Umrah, which we arrange before you travel.

Which entry route do UK citizens use now?

• Saudi ETA, launched 1 July 2026: multiple entry, up to 180 days a year, and it covers Umrah outside the Hajj season. For most UK travellers, it replaces the former Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW).
• Tourist eVisa (Saudi eVisa): a separate multiple-entry route issued via Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Tourism.
• Dedicated Umrah visa: still the route for some UK residents who are not British passport holders, arranged through an authorised operator.

The Nusuk permit, separate from your visa

Your visa or ETA gets you into Saudi Arabia; your Nusuk permit authorises the Umrah, issued through the Nusuk app run by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, and each visit needs a service package from an approved provider. We provide Nusuk support so it is in place before you travel; you send your passport and photo, with full details on our Umrah visa page.

Passport, vaccination and entry checklist

• A passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival.
• A MenACWY (meningitis ACWY) certificate, valid at least 10 days before arrival, for everyone aged one and over.
• Your ETA, eVisa or Umrah visa, plus your Nusuk permit.

Latest Umrah updates for UK pilgrims (updated September 2026)

• The Saudi ETA (from 1 July 2026) replaces the former EVW for most UK travellers and simplifies repeat visits.
• Nusuk is mandatory: every Umrah needs a permit through the Nusuk app with a service package from an approved provider.
• All qualifying visa types (the ETA, tourist eVisa or a dedicated Umrah visa) allow Umrah outside the Hajj season.
• MenACWY remains mandatory for all pilgrims aged one and over.
• Ramadan 2027 begins on or around 8 February 2027; a short Hajj-season closure falls around May 2027 before Umrah reopens from early June 2027.

Flying for Umrah: departure cities and airports

Flying for Umrah, we run direct London to Jeddah flights from London Heathrow (LHR) on Saudia and British Airways, with one-stop Gatwick (LGW) routes via Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways), Abu Dhabi (Etihad Airways) or Dubai (Emirates). Direct Manchester (MAN) and Birmingham (BHX) to Jeddah run too, plus cheap Umrah deals and connections from other UK airports. Whether you're booking Umrah packages from London, Manchester or Birmingham, or from a regional airport, all transfers on the Saudi side, including King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), approx. 80 km from Makkah, or Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED) for Madinah, are covered in your package.

Getting between Makkah and Madinah

The two cities are approx. 450 km apart by road. We arrange private transfers between Makkah and Madinah as part of your package, a journey of around four to five hours. Many pilgrims also travel independently on the Haramain High-Speed Railway, which links the two cities in around two and a half hours, though train tickets aren't part of our packages.

Who our packages suit: families, women, groups and first-timers

Family and children's packages

Our family Umrah packages for UK pilgrims travelling with children welcome children of any age; a child's Umrah is valid and rewarded but does not discharge their obligation after puberty. We arrange connecting rooms, cots and a gentler pace.

Women travelling without a mahram

Saudi policy permits women aged 18 and over to perform Umrah without a mahram. This changed the administrative requirement; the scholarly position across the four schools of Islamic law still differs, so it remains a personal decision. We also run women's Umrah packages with female-guided group departures.

Group and quad-sharing packages

Our group Umrah packages suit four or more travellers sharing; quad sharing puts four adults per room on a single booking. Larger groups receive additional savings, and we handle families, mosque groups and community trips regularly.

Elderly and less-mobile pilgrims

For elderly parents, senior pilgrims and less-mobile travellers, we arrange hotels closer to Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, accessible rooms, wheelchair assistance and a gentler itinerary.

A first-timer's Umrah, step by step

If it is your first Umrah, here is how to perform Umrah; the rite itself takes about three to six hours:

• Enter Ihram and make your intention at the Miqat, the boundary you cross before arrival.
• Tawaf: seven circuits of the Ka'bah (the Kaaba) at Masjid al-Haram, passing the Hajar al-Aswad (the Black Stone) and Maqam Ibrahim.
• Sa'i: seven laps between the hills of Safa and Marwah.
• Trim or cut the hair to complete the Umrah and leave Ihram.

On the way, you recite the talbiyah and keep to the Ihram restrictions; afterwards, you can drink Zamzam water and settle into the five daily prayers at the Haram. Pack two sets of Ihram garments for men, modest clothing for women, comfortable footwear, an unscented toiletry kit, any medication and your documents. Our full how-to-perform Umrah guide covers each step in detail.

How to book, and how your money is protected

From your first enquiry to returning home

• Speak with an Umrah specialist about your budget, group and dates, and we will suggest the right package.
• Choose your flights and hotels, then secure your booking with a deposit; the balance is due before departure.
• Complete your documents: your passport and a photo are all we need to begin, along with your visa preference.
• Receive your Nusuk guidance, so your Umrah permit is in place before you travel.
• Travel with support: flight tickets, hotel vouchers and transfer details, plus a UK line and on-ground help throughout.
• Return home confidently, having completed your Umrah with everything handled from your first enquiry.

Your financial protection

These are ATOL-protected Umrah packages: every flight-inclusive Makkah Tour booking is covered under ATOL 10416, the Air Travel Organiser's Licence, against our financial failure, and you receive an ATOL Certificate confirming what is protected. As a package holiday under the UK Package Travel Regulations, you also get defined rights and clear financial protection if something changes before you travel.

How to spot a genuine UK Umrah agency and avoid Umrah scams

For many UK Muslims, Umrah is a trip they save years for, and GOV.UK warns that fraudsters push fake Umrah deals through legitimate-looking companies. When comparing the best Umrah packages UK agencies advertise, look past the headline price to what is included and whether the agency is ATOL protected. A few quick checks protect you:

• Check the agent's ATOL number, the Air Travel Organiser's Licence, on the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) register; a licensed UK Umrah operator will be listed there. Ours is 10416.
• Confirm they are a Nusuk-approved provider.
• Be cautious of prices far below the market.
• Get written confirmation and an ATOL Certificate before you pay the balance.

How much does an Umrah package cost from UK?

How much does Umrah cost from London?

Are there Umrah packages under £1,000?

Yes. All our standard 3-star, 4-star and 5-star Umrah packages start from under £1,000 per person, from £725 for 3-star. The final price depends on your dates, hotel and room sharing.

What's the cheapest way to perform Umrah from UK?

What's the cheapest month for Umrah?

Off-peak months, usually January and February and the quieter weeks after Hajj, are cheapest. Ramadan, December and Easter carry a premium.

Do UK citizens need a visa for Umrah in 2026-27?

Most UK passport holders now travel on the Saudi ETA (launched 1 July 2026) or a tourist eVisa, plus a separate Nusuk permit. Always confirm current rules on GOV.UK before booking.

Is the Nusuk permit the same as a visa?

No. Your ETA or visa lets you enter Saudi Arabia; the Nusuk permit authorises your Umrah and is issued separately through the Nusuk app. We provide Nusuk support.

How far in advance should I book?

About 4 to 8 weeks for off-peak months, and 3 to 6 months for Ramadan, December and Easter, which sell out first.

Can women perform Umrah without a mahram?

Saudi policy permits women aged 18 and over to perform Umrah without a mahram. The scholarly position across the four schools still differs, so it is a personal decision. We also run women's group departures.

How close are the hotels to the Haram?

Our 3-star hotels, such as Emaar Afaq Al Sud, sit approx. 900 m from Masjid al-Haram; our 4-star approx. 750 m, and our 5-star hotels, such as Swissotel Makkah, are about a 5-minute walk from the Haram, with Haram-view rooms. Exact hotels are confirmed at booking.

Which Umrah package is best for first-time pilgrims?

Most first-time pilgrims choose a 7 or 10-night package, as it gives enough time for worship at Masjid al-Haram and Ziyarat while keeping the trip manageable. Our 3-star 7-night package is the most popular for first-time Umrah.

Are direct flights available from UK?

Direct flights to Jeddah operate from London Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham on Saudia and British Airways. Other airports connect via Istanbul, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

What vaccinations do I need?

A MenACWY (meningitis ACWY) certificate is mandatory, valid at least 10 days before arrival, for everyone aged one and over.

How do I pay, and is my money protected?

A deposit secures your booking, and the balance is due before departure. Every flight-inclusive booking is protected under ATOL 10416 against our financial failure.

Can I add a stopover such as Dubai or Istanbul?

Yes. Our Umrah-with-stopover options add two to four days in Doha, Dubai, Istanbul or Cairo, alongside your Umrah nights.
