Umrah Packages for Women

Yes — since 2019 the Saudi government allows women of any age to perform Umrah without a mahram (male guardian). Women travel solo or as part of a women-only group. No permission letter or mahram declaration is required on the Nusuk Platform visa application. UK passport holders receive an e-visa without visiting the Saudi embassy. Each passport must have at least 6 months’ validity and 2 blank pages at the time of travel.

No — women Umrah packages serve solo female travellers, women-only groups and mothers travelling with daughters or female relatives. Solo packages provide individual room allocation and a dedicated female guide. Group packages place 3–15 women together with shared rooms on a women-only floor, a female group leader and group Ziyarat tours. Women travelling with male family members book a standard or family Umrah package instead.

Yes — every women-only group package includes a dedicated female guide who accompanies the group throughout the journey. The female guide assists with tawaf at Masjid al-Haram, sa’i between Safa and Marwah, Ziyarat tours in both Makkah and Madinah, and day-to-day logistics at the hotel. Solo packages include female guide support on request. The guide speaks English and is experienced in assisting first-time female pilgrims with Umrah rituals.

Women Umrah package costs depend on 4 factors: star level, duration, travel month and solo or group booking. 3-star economy packages carry the lowest per-person rate, 4-star comfort sits in the mid-range and 5-star premium commands the highest. Women-only group packages cost less per person than solo bookings because room and transfer costs are shared. Off-peak months run below Ramadan and December peaks.

Yes — hotels at every tier sit within walking distance of Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and close to the women’s entrance of Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. 5-star premium hotels stand directly overlooking or adjacent to the Haram. 4-star and 3-star hotels sit within a 5–15 minute walk. Women-only floor allocation keeps rooms separate from male pilgrims. Hotels provide prayer areas on women-only floors for convenience between scheduled prayers at the Haram.

Pack 2–3 loose-fitting abayas (cotton for breathability), hijabs, underscarves, and prayer garments. Comfortable walking shoes are a must — pilgrims walk between the hotel and the Haram several times daily. Bring unscented toiletries, a reusable water bottle, personal medications and a small cross-body bag for daily use. A lightweight prayer mat, Quran and tasbeeh are recommended. Women do not wear ihram cloth — modest everyday clothing in any colour serves as ihram. Pack a light jacket for air-conditioned hotels and cooler Madinah evenings.

Book 8–12 weeks ahead for Ramadan and December departures and 4–6 weeks ahead for off-peak months. Women-only group departures run on set dates and fill based on group capacity — early booking secures a confirmed seat in the next available group. Solo packages offer more flexible travel dates. Labbaik confirms availability and pricing at the time of enquiry and holds your booking once a deposit is received.
