November Umrah Packages 2026

Why UK pilgrims choose November for Umrah

November rarely tops the peak-season lists, and that is part of its appeal. Three things make it a favourite with UK pilgrims:

• Milder weather. Daytime temperatures in Makkah usually land in the high 20s to mid-30s Celsius, with Madinah a degree or two behind; once the sun drops, both cities cool into the high teens and low 20s. After a Gulf summer, that shift alone makes Tawaf and Sa'i far more manageable — which matters if elderly parents or young children are travelling with you.
• A quieter Haram. Falling clear of Ramadan, the main school breaks and the year-end rush, November brings thinner queues at the Mataf, an easier path towards the Black Stone, and more rooms free close to the Haram.
• Lower prices. Airlines and hotels price the month in the dip between their autumn and winter highs, which is why some of the better November Umrah deals appear in the weeks before the December rush.

Which package fits your November trip?

Our November Umrah packages from the UK come in three tiers: 3, 4 and 5-star. They share the same essentials, so the main differences are the hotel standard and how close you stay to the mosques.

3-Star November Umrah Packages

Our 3-star November Umrah packages, from £790pp, are the budget-friendly choice. They suit students, solo pilgrims and cost-conscious families who want a cheap November Umrah that still covers the essentials. Return flights, Nusuk visa support and transfers all come as standard. In Makkah, you could stay at Al Tayseer Towers or Emaar Al Khalil, both a short walk from Masjid al-Haram; in Madinah, at Swiss International Madinah, Zowar International or Odst Al Madinah, a short walk from Masjid an-Nabawi. We confirm the exact hotel and distance on your quote.

4-Star November Umrah Packages

The 4-star November Umrah packages, from £980pp, sit in the middle: more room, better facilities, and the tier most families and couples choose. You still get return flights, Nusuk visa support and transfers, now with upgraded hotels in each city. In Makkah you might book Emaar Grand Hotel, Emaar Elite Hotel or Palestine Hotel Makkah, each a short walk from Masjid al-Haram; in Madinah, Saja Al Madinah, Grand Plaza Badr Al Maqam or Emaar Al Mekhtan, each a short walk from Masjid an-Nabawi.

5-Star November Umrah Packages

Our 5-star November Umrah packages, from £1,200pp, are the luxury tier, with 5-star hotels near the two Harams and private transfers on request. Return flights, Nusuk visa support and transfers are all included. In Makkah, that means names like Jabal Omar Marriott Makkah, Shaza Makkah or Fairmont Clock Royal Tower, each a short walk from Masjid al-Haram; in Madinah, Pullman Zamzam Madinah, Dallah Taibah or Dar Al Eiman Al Haram Hotel, each a short walk from Masjid an-Nabawi.

What every November package covers

Whichever tier you land on, the spine of the package stays the same:

• Return flights from your UK departure airport, timed to the dates you give us.
• A hotel in Makkah and a hotel in Madinah at your chosen standard, each measured against Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi.
• Nusuk visa support: hands-on help through the Nusuk platform — the system the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah requires for both the visa and the hotel booking.
• Ground transfers throughout: airport to Makkah, Makkah across to Madinah, and back to the airport for the flight home.
• A UK team you can reach before you fly and while you are away: phone 0203 195 8700 between 10 am and 6 pm, or WhatsApp 07418 378756.

How long should you go for?

Every Umrah package divides your nights between the two cities. Three lengths cover most UK schedules:

If none of these lines up with your plans, we can build the split around you.

Getting there: flights and transfers

Every November package is built on return flights. Direct flights to Jeddah run with Saudia from London Heathrow (LHR), Manchester (MAN) and Birmingham (BHX), and the Heathrow to Jeddah leg takes roughly six to seven hours. For Madinah, London Gatwick (LGW) now has a direct service, which we can include where it fits your dates. If you are flying from Leeds Bradford (LBA), Glasgow (GLA) or another UK airport, we arrange a connecting route to suit you. Your airport transfers and the road transfer between Makkah and Madinah are included in every package.

Your Umrah visa, Nusuk and the Rawdah

Since Nusuk — the official platform of the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah — became mandatory, your Umrah visa and your accommodation both have to be booked through it. Saudi Arabia also updated its entry routes in 2026: the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) replaced the earlier EVW from 1 July 2026. Our team provides Nusuk support and guidance, so your application and booking go through cleanly with nothing missed. Keep half an eye on your passport too; it needs at least six months left from the day you travel.

Praying in the Rawdah is booked the same way — those slots are reserved through the Nusuk app, and we will talk you through the steps.

One more common worry, settled: women aged 18 or over can now perform Umrah without a mahram, with no mahram certificate needed for the visa. Our Umrah visa page has the full details.

The vaccination you will need

One health requirement is fixed: the MenACWY meningitis vaccination, which Saudi Arabia mandates for every pilgrim and which must be given no later than 10 days before departure. Your GP surgery or a travel clinic can administer it and issue the certificate you will carry. While you are there, it is worth arranging enough of any regular medication to last the whole trip.

The rites, and where to go for Ziyarat

Umrah follows a set order: entering Ihram at the Miqat, the appointed boundary before Makkah; performing Tawaf around the Kaaba; then Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. Many pilgrims pause to drink Zamzam water before their hair is trimmed and the rites are complete. Most then set aside time for Ziyarat. Around Madinah that usually takes in Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatain, Mount Uhud and Jannat al-Baqi; closer to Makkah, the sites include Jabal al-Noor, Jabal Thawr, Mina and Arafat. Our guided Ziyarat puts each place in context rather than simply driving past it.

Planning a family or group trip

Bringing the family or a wider party along? Our family November Umrah packages put connecting and family rooms front and centre, keep everyone on the same flights wherever the schedule allows, and steer you towards a tier that keeps the group together. It is worth raising a larger party early, since the room blocks nearest the mosques tend to go first. See our group Umrah packages, or ask us to price a private family booking.

Booking November Umrah from London, Manchester, Birmingham and beyond

We fly pilgrims out from right across the country. If you would rather start from a page built around your city, see our dedicated Umrah packages for London, Manchester and Birmingham. Or just tell us your closest airport, and we will build the routing back from there. Bradford, Glasgow, Leicester and other UK cities are all covered on connecting routes. If November does not suit your dates, our full range of Umrah packages covers every month of the year.

When to get your booking in

For November, the sweet spot for booking is four to six months out, roughly May to July. Book early, and you hold the hotels nearest the mosques and catch fares before the autumn climb. If avoiding crowds matters most to you, the middle two weeks of the month are usually the quietest.
