If you have been searching for cheap Umrah packages from Leicester, these are real starting prices from our live package cards. Affordable should still mean a room you are glad to return to after a long night of worship.

What does the "from" price assume?

Each "from" price assumes four people sharing a quad room, an off-peak date and the flight shown on the package. A triple, double or single room costs more per person, and your quote says which of these apply. When you compare Leicester Umrah travel agents, ask each one the same question, because four-share and double-room prices are very different.

What makes a Leicester Umrah quote go up or down?

Five things move the price:

• Travel month: Ramadan, Christmas and Easter cost more than November.
• Room sharing: four people in a room pay less each than two.
• Hotel distance: the closer to the Haram, the higher the nightly rate.
• Airport and airline: direct flights usually cost more than one-stop routes.
• Booking time: rooms near the Haram and popular dates go first.

What Is Included in the Leicester Umrah Package?

Every Leicester Umrah package includes return flights, your Makkah and Madinah hotels, airport transfers in Saudi Arabia, the coach between Makkah and Madinah, and Umrah visa support. Guided ziyarah, most meals and travel insurance are extras.

What comes with every flight-inclusive package?

• Return flights from a UK airport to Saudi Arabia, including airport taxes
• Makkah and Madinah hotel nights at the star level you choose
• Airport transfers to your first hotel and from your last hotel to your flight home
• The coach between Makkah and Madinah, approx. 5 to 6 hours on the road
• Umrah visa support with step-by-step guidance for your Saudi ETA or visa application and help with the required booking process
• An ATOL Certificate under ATOL 10416
• UK-based customer support by phone and WhatsApp, before you fly and while you are away

Which extras can you add to your trip?

Guided ziyarah is a paid add-on, arranged on request, to places such as Masjid Quba and Mount Uhud in Madinah or Jabal al-Nour in Makkah. Meals are not part of the standard package; where a hotel serves breakfast, the package card shows it, and your quote confirms it. You can also add extra nights or a room upgrade. We strongly suggest travel insurance for Umrah that covers medical care abroad.

Where Do You Fly from for Umrah If You Live in Leicester?

Most Leicester pilgrims fly from Birmingham Airport, approx. 45 minutes away by road, and the nearest airport with direct Saudia flights to Jeddah. Heathrow and Manchester, each approx. 2 hours' drive, add more dates and fares. East Midlands Airport is closer but has no direct flights to Jeddah or Madinah.

Approx. 23.5% of the city's 368,581 residents were Muslim at the 2021 Census, many in Highfields, Evington, Belgrave and Spinney Hills, and anyone searching for flights from Leicester for Umrah is choosing between airports outside the city.

A typical Leicester to Makkah Umrah journey via Birmingham: leave home approx. 4 hours before take-off, fly approx. 6 hours to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, then transfer approx. 1 to 1.5 hours to Makkah. The plane crosses the miqat before landing, so many of our pilgrims put on ihram at home or at the airport.

Are there direct flights to Jeddah near Leicester?

Yes. Direct flights to Jeddah leave from Birmingham, Heathrow and Manchester, and take approx. 6 hours. Birmingham is the closest, with Saudia flying the route several times a week. We can book that direct flight on request; otherwise, your package may use a one-stop route with Qatar Airways, Emirates or Turkish Airlines, which often costs less. Your quote names the airline before you pay.

Can you fly to Umrah from East Midlands Airport?

Not in any practical way. East Midlands Airport, approx. 30 minutes from Leicester, has no direct flights to Jeddah or Madinah and few sensible connections for Umrah. Birmingham, approx. 45 minutes away, is the practical alternative, with a direct Saudia flight available on request.

Can you fly straight into Madinah from the UK?

Only on selected dates from Gatwick, approx. 2 hours 45 minutes from Leicester. Otherwise, you land in Jeddah, perform Umrah, then take the coach to Madinah. If you would rather begin in Madinah and settle your heart first, you enter ihram at Dhul Hulayfah on the way to Makkah.

3, 4 or 5 Star: Which Umrah Package Suits You?

Pick 3-star if budget matters most and everyone walks comfortably, 4-star for a balance of comfort and cost, and 5-star for older parents or anyone who needs the shortest walk to prayers. You walk to the mosque five times a day, so the hotel's position matters more than the room.

On our current cards, some 3-star Madinah hotels sit closer to Masjid an-Nabawi than the 4-star ones, so compare hotels near the Haram by distance, not stars alone; your quote confirms the hotel for your dates. Planning a first-time Umrah with your parents? Tell us about their mobility.

How many nights do you need for Umrah: 7, 10 or 14?

Seven nights lets you perform Umrah calmly and spend three nights in Madinah. Ten nights add rest days, and fourteen suits elderly pilgrims or anyone wanting an unhurried week in each city. The rites, from ihram through Tawaf and Sa'i between Safa and Marwah to cutting the hair, take approx. 3 to 4 hours. The extra nights give you Fajr without rushing and quiet hours with the Qur'an in Masjid an-Nabawi.

When Should You Go for Umrah from Leicester in 2026/27?

Among Umrah packages for 2026 from Leicester, November dates are usually the quietest and lowest-priced, with January and the weeks after Ramadan close behind. Ramadan 2027 begins approx. 8 February and is the busiest, dearest time of year. Umrah pauses around Hajj, so there is no Umrah window in May 2027, and it reopens approx. early June 2027, around Muharram 1449.

When should you book for Ramadan 2027?

Ramadan Umrah packages are usually booked early, especially for the last ten nights. These dates are among the busiest times of the year, and hotels closer to Masjid al-Haram often become unavailable first. If you are hoping to spend the final nights of Ramadan in Makkah and pray Laylat al-Qadr in the Haram, it is better to plan so we can help you find suitable hotel and travel options.

Which school holidays suit an Umrah trip?

Leicester City Council's 2026/27 calendar gives four windows: October half-term (19 to 23 October 2026), Christmas (21 December to 1 January), February half-term (15 to 19 February 2027, inside Ramadan) and Easter (22 March to 2 April 2027). The May half-term falls in the Hajj pause. Academies may set their own dates, and term-time absence can lead to a fine.

What Documents Do UK Pilgrims Need for Umrah in 2026/27?

You need a passport valid for at least six months, permission to enter Saudi Arabia, your Umrah booked on Nusuk, and the MenACWY vaccine at least 10 days before you arrive. Our Umrah visa support for Leicester pilgrims covers each of these steps, and approval rests with the Saudi authorities.

• A passport valid for six months or more from your travel date
• Saudi entry permission (the Saudi ETA or an eligible visa), approved before you fly
• A Nusuk account with your Umrah booking
• A MenACWY certificate dated at least 10 days before arrival
• Printed copies of flights, hotel vouchers and your ATOL Certificate

How do the Saudi ETA, visa and Nusuk fit together?

The Saudi ETA or a visa lets you enter the country. From 1 July 2026, UK passport holders can apply for a Saudi ETA with multiple entries and stays of up to 180 days a year; it cannot be used for Hajj. Nusuk is the official Saudi platform where your Umrah and Rawdah visit are booked. Your adviser confirms the right entry route for your dates and guides you through Nusuk, which is our Umrah visa assistance in the UK. Approval rests with the Saudi authorities.

Is Makkah Tour a Safe Company to Book Umrah With?

Makkah Tour is a trading brand of 7 Continents Travel Ltd (Companies House 05224578), trading since 2004. The company is IATA accredited (91280442) and holds ATOL 10416, which protects flight-inclusive packages if the company fails financially. You receive an ATOL Certificate when you book a package with flights.

We are a UK Umrah travel company serving pilgrims nationwide by phone and WhatsApp, without a shop in Leicester. If you are comparing us with a Leicester Umrah travel agency, the checks that protect you are the same wherever the office sits:

• An ATOL number you can look up with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)
• A company record on Companies House
• IATA accreditation for the agency
• A written quote listing inclusions and extras
• Independent reviews you can read on Trustpilot and Google

What does ATOL protection cover on an Umrah package?

ATOL applies to packages that include a flight, so our ATOL-protected Umrah packages are the flight-inclusive ones, and the protection applies only if the company fails financially. The scheme then gets you home if you are abroad, or refunds you if you have not travelled. It does not cover missed flights, illness or a change of plan, which is what travel insurance is for.
