Umrah Packages from UK – ATOL Protected 2026 Deals

Cheap Umrah Packages from the UK

Our packages range from £590 to £1,170 per person, depending on hotel star rating, trip duration and travel dates.

The cheapest months for Umrah are January, February and May — outside school holidays and Ramadan. Prices rise 20–40% during Ramadan, December and Easter because flight and hotel demand peaks at the same time.

Quad sharing (4 adults per room) is the most affordable option. Double sharing costs more but gives couples and small families privacy. Triple sharing sits between the two.

What is the cheapest package of umrah?

A 7-night quad-sharing 3-star package starts from £590 per person. That includes flights from London, hotel in both cities, visa and private transport. Shorter trips are not cheaper — the visa and flight cost is fixed regardless of nights.

What Is Included in All-Inclusive Umrah Packages

Every package covers 5 things: return flights, hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, Umrah visa processing, private airport-to-hotel transfers, and inter-city transport between Makkah and Madinah.

The Saudi government issues the Umrah visa free of charge. The fee UK pilgrims pay — typically £50–£80 — is the agency processing and Nusuk service-package cost, not a government charge.

Three visa routes are available to UK passport holders:

• Umrah visa — the standard route, processed through an authorised operator
• Tourist eVisa — valid for Umrah outside the Hajj season, no dedicated Umrah visa needed (GOV.UK)
• Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW) — for short visits, currently available to UK citizens

Every visit requires an Umrah permit issued through the Nusuk app before arrival. The Nusuk platform is run by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, and each permit requires a service package from an approved provider.

Optional extras include guided Ziyarat tours to historical sites in Makkah and Madinah, scholar-led group guidance, and Iftar/Suhoor meal plans during Ramadan.

Hotels in our Makkah and Madinah packages

We book directly with properties in both cities — not through third-party consolidators. Hotels change by season and availability; these are the properties currently in our packages:

3-star economy: Emaar Andalusia, Emaar Al Khalil, Emaar Al Manar, Elaf Ajyad and Al Ebaa in Makkah. Al Aqiq Al Rawda in Madinah. All within 5–15 minutes' walk of the Haram.

4-star comfort: Voco Makkah, DoubleTree by Hilton Makkah, Dar Al Fayzeen, M Hotel Al Dana and Al Massa Grand in Makkah. Millennium Al Aqeeq in Madinah. Closer to the Haram with upgraded room sizes and amenities.

5-star premium: Swissotel Al Maqam, Jabal Omar Hyatt Regency, Hilton Makkah Convention, Fairmont Makkah Clock Tower, Pullman Zamzam and Anjum Hotel in Makkah. Pullman Zamzam in Madinah. Haram-view rooms available at the Clock Tower and Swissotel properties.

Hotel availability tightens during peak months. During Ramadan and December, 5-star properties near the Haram book out months in advance — early booking secures your preferred hotel.

How Long Does Umrah Take — 7, 10 and 14-Night Packages

The Umrah ritual itself — entering ihram, performing tawaf (7 circuits of the Ka'bah), sa'i (7 laps between Safa and Marwah), and cutting the hair — takes 3 to 6 hours.

The trip around it is what varies:

• 7 nights — 3 nights in Madinah, 4 in Makkah. Enough for one Umrah and the main Ziyarat sites. Best for experienced pilgrims or those with limited leave.
• 10 nights — 4 in Madinah, 5 in Makkah (our most popular). Time for a second Umrah from Masjid Aisha at Tan'im, and unhurried visits to Masjid Quba and Jannat al-Baqi.
• 14 nights — 5 in Madinah, 7 in Makkah. Allows multiple Umrahs, extended worship, and day trips. Suits families with children and elderly pilgrims who need a slower pace.

The transfer between Makkah and Madinah is approximately 420 km by road (4–5 hours by coach, under 3 hours by the Haramain High-Speed Railway from Makkah to Madinah station).

Can I do umrah in 7 days?

Yes. The ritual is completed in one day. A 7-night package gives 3 nights in Madinah for Ziyarat and 4 in Makkah — enough for one full Umrah, daily prayers at the Haram, and visits to the main historical sites.

December Umrah Packages — Cheapest Month from the UK

Prices follow two drivers: flight cost and hotel demand in Makkah and Madinah.

Cheapest months (off-peak): January, February, May and early June. Hotels are at their lowest rates and flights from the UK are widely available. A 7-night off-peak package starts from £590 per person.

Most expensive (peak): Ramadan, December (school holidays + Christmas break) and Easter. A Ramadan Umrah package carries a 20–40% premium over the same hotel and flight in an off-peak month — a 7-night 3-star Ramadan package starts from approximately £830.

Mid-range: September, October, November. Moderate demand, reasonable availability.

During Ramadan, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah permits only one Umrah per person for the entire month. A separate prayer permit exists for Taraweeh in the last 10 nights — these are two different permits, routinely confused.

Umrah in Ramadan carries a reward equal to Hajj — in reward only. It does not discharge the obligation of Hajj; the person still owes Hajj separately.

Umrah Packages from London, Manchester and Birmingham

We book flights from every major UK airport:

• London Heathrow — the widest choice. Direct flights to Jeddah on Saudi Airlines (Saudia) and British Airways. One-stop options on Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), Qatar Airways (via Doha) and Gulf Air (via Bahrain).
• Manchester — direct flights on Saudia. One-stop on Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways.
• Birmingham — one-stop connections through Istanbul, Doha and Bahrain. The closest major airport for pilgrims from the Midlands, Bradford and the North.

Jeddah (King Abdulaziz International Airport) is the main arrival point — approximately 80 km from Makkah, with a transfer time of about 1.5 hours by private vehicle. Madinah Airport (Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International) serves flights arriving in Madinah first, cutting out the inter-city road transfer at the start of the trip.

Direct flights from London to Jeddah take about 6.5 hours. One-stop flights typically add 3–5 hours depending on the layover.

We also arrange departures from airports across the UK:

• Leeds Bradford — Leeds Bradford Airport serves pilgrims from Bradford, Blackburn, Huddersfield and West Yorkshire. One-stop connections via Istanbul or Doha.
• Glasgow — Glasgow International Airport. Connections via Istanbul, Doha or Bahrain for Scottish pilgrims.
• Edinburgh — Edinburgh Airport. Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways connections available.
• Bristol — Bristol Airport serves pilgrims from the South West and South Wales.
• Newcastle, Cardiff, Belfast, Luton, Stansted and Gatwick are also available on request.

Umrah packages from Manchester include direct Saudia flights and are the most popular choice for pilgrims in the North West after London. Umrah packages from Birmingham suit pilgrims across the Midlands with one-stop connections through major Gulf and Turkish hubs. Whichever airport you fly from, the package price includes all transfers on the Saudi Arabia side.

Umrah Visa and Entry Requirements for UK Citizens

UK citizens need 4 things before travelling:

1. Passport validity — at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Saudi Arabia, with two adjacent blank pages.
2. Umrah visa or qualifying visa — a dedicated Umrah visa, a tourist eVisa, or an Electronic Visa Waiver. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has confirmed that all visa types now allow the holder to perform Umrah.
3. Meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate — must be valid at least 10 days before arrival, for everyone aged one year and over (GOV.UK).
4. Nusuk permit — an Umrah permit issued through the Nusuk app before arrival. Each visit under the multiple-entry visa also requires a Nusuk service package from an approved provider.

UK BRP (Biometric Residence Permit) holders who are not UK citizens should check their specific visa eligibility. Most BRP holders from countries with eVisa access can apply for the tourist eVisa for Umrah.

We handle the full visa application for every package — you provide your passport and photo, we process everything else.

Visa costs for UK-based pilgrims

The Umrah visa itself is free — the Saudi government charges nothing for it. The processing fee UK pilgrims pay (typically £50–£80 per person) covers two things: our agency processing service and the mandatory Nusuk service package that every pilgrim must purchase from an approved operator.

Tourist eVisa holders pay the standard eVisa application fee directly to the Saudi government portal, plus the Nusuk service package separately. The eVisa is a multi-entry visa valid for one year and allows Umrah outside the Hajj season.

BRP holders from countries eligible for the Saudi tourist eVisa can apply online. BRP holders from countries not on the eVisa eligibility list need a dedicated Umrah visa processed through an authorised operator — we handle this for all nationalities.

Umrah Packages for Families, Women and Groups

Group and quad-sharing packages

Groups of 4 or more save through quad sharing — 4 adults per room in both Makkah and Madinah. We arrange a single booking for the entire group: one visa submission, one flight booking, one transport allocation. Groups over 10 receive additional discounts on hotel rates.

Do UK citizens need visa for umrah?

Yes. UK citizens need a valid visa — either a dedicated Umrah visa processed through an authorised operator, a tourist eVisa (valid for Umrah outside Hajj season), or an Electronic Visa Waiver. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has confirmed all visa types permit Umrah.

How much does umrah typically cost?

From the UK, Umrah packages range from £590 to £1,170 per person depending on star rating, duration and season. The main cost variables are hotel proximity to the Haram, flight routing (direct vs one-stop) and room sharing type (quad, triple or double).

How much is the umrah visa for UK citizens?

The Saudi government issues the Umrah visa free of charge. The £50–£80 fee UK pilgrims pay covers the agency's processing service and the mandatory Nusuk service package — it is not a government charge.

Is 7 days enough for umrah?

Yes. The Umrah ritual itself takes 3 to 6 hours. A 7-night trip gives enough time for one complete Umrah, daily prayers at Masjid al-Haram, and Ziyarat visits to historical sites in Makkah and Madinah.

How much does a 15 day umrah package cost?

A 14-night 3-star package starts from £750 per person. 5-star options for the same duration start from approximately £1,120. Longer stays allow multiple Umrahs — to perform a second Umrah you must leave the Haram boundary and enter ihram again from Masjid Aisha at Tan'im, about 7 km from the Grand Mosque.

Which month is best for umrah 2026?

It depends on your priority. For the lowest price: January or February. For spiritual reward: Ramadan (Umrah in Ramadan carries a reward equal to Hajj, though it does not replace the Hajj obligation). For families with school-age children: August, December or Easter — but expect peak pricing.

How much does umrah cost from London?

From London Heathrow, a 7-night 3-star package starts from £590 per person with direct flights on Saudi Airlines or one-stop flights on Turkish Airlines. 10-night packages from London start from £655.

How much is umrah for 3 people?

For 3 people sharing a triple room, a 7-night 3-star package costs approximately £1,770 total (3 × £590). Triple sharing is slightly more per person than quad sharing (4 per room) but gives more space. Each person needs their own visa and Nusuk permit.

Can husband and wife do umrah together?

Yes. A married couple can perform Umrah together and there is no restriction on travelling as a pair. The husband serves as the wife's mahram for travel purposes. Both need individual Umrah permits through the Nusuk app, but they can share the same package booking, hotel room and transport arrangements. We offer couple Umrah packages with double-room accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah.

How much is the umrah fee for 2026?

There is no single "Umrah fee." The Saudi government issues the Umrah visa free of charge — the £50–£80 that UK pilgrims pay covers agency processing and the mandatory Nusuk service package. The actual cost of Umrah depends on your package: 7-night packages start from £590 per person (3-star), £685 (4-star) and £880 (5-star). Each includes flights, hotels in both cities, visa processing and private transport. The main cost variables are hotel star rating, trip duration, departure city and travel dates.

How far in advance should I book Umrah?

Book 4–8 weeks ahead for off-peak months and 3–6 months ahead for peak periods. Ramadan packages sell out first — book 4–6 months before departure, as last 10 nights availability closes earliest. December and Easter packages need 3–4 months' lead time because UK school holidays push flight fares closer to departure. Off-peak months — January, September and October — give more flexibility at 4–8 weeks ahead. Hotels within walking distance of the Haram fill first at the 5-star tier. Your deposit secures the booking and ATOL protection covers your money from the point of payment.
