Umrah Packages from UK

Our Umrah Packages from UK

Every package includes return flights, hotels in both cities, transfers and Nusuk visa support. You choose 7, 10 or 14 nights, a quad, triple or double room, and one of six UK departure airports. The hotels below are the ones we are booking now; before you pay, we confirm the hotel name, its walking time and a fixed price for your dates.

Ten-night packages start at £790 (3-star), £835 (4-star) and £905 (5-star). We name the hotels in your quote, and they are of the same standard.

Walking times are approximate. They depend on the hotel, the building your room is in and the gate you use, so we confirm them for your dates.

We book Umrah for pilgrims across the UK. Find the details for your city: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford, Glasgow, Blackburn, Leicester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Belfast.

Compare Our 3, 4 and 5-Star Umrah Packages for 2026/27

All three tiers include the same flights, transfers and Nusuk support. The difference is the hotel standard and the walking time to Masjid al-Haram. In Madinah, walking times are measured to Masjid an-Nabawi.

3-Star Umrah Packages: From £725pp

Our 3-star hotels are approx. 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Masjid al-Haram, with a free shuttle at busy prayer times, and approx. 10 to 15 minutes from Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. Rooms are clean and simple. Sharing a quad room lowers the price per person, which is why groups and pilgrims on a fixed budget choose this tier most often. Return flights, hotels in both cities, transfers and Nusuk visa support are included, from £725pp for 7 nights.

4-Star Umrah Packages: From £765pp

Our 4-star hotels are approx. 7 to 10 minutes' walk from Masjid al-Haram and approx. 5 to 8 minutes from Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. Rooms are larger than at 3-star, and the walk is short enough for several trips a day with children, at a lower price than 5-star. Most families choose this tier. Return flights, hotels in both cities, transfers and Nusuk visa support are included, from £765pp for 7 nights.

5-Star Umrah Packages: From £825pp

Our 5-star hotels are the closest we book to Masjid al-Haram, approx. 2 to 10 minutes' walk, and approx. 2 to 5 minutes from Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. Rooms are the most comfortable of our three tiers, and the short walk lets elderly pilgrims and young families rest in their rooms between prayers. Return flights, premium hotels in both cities, transfers and Nusuk visa support are included, from £825pp for 7 nights.

Hotels change with dates and availability, so the names above are examples.

How Do I Choose the Right Umrah Package in 2026?

Start with these four questions.

• How close do you want to be? Distance to Masjid al-Haram is the main price difference between tiers, and it decides how tired you feel. If you will walk to the mosque five times a day with children or elderly relatives, paying for 4-star or 5-star saves you time and energy. If a longer walk or a shuttle ride is no problem, 3-star leaves more of your budget for the rest of the trip.
• How much leave do you have? Seven nights is enough for one Umrah and the main Ziyarat sites without rushing. Ten nights is the length most of our pilgrims choose, because it allows time for a second Umrah. Fourteen nights suits families and anyone who prefers a slower pace.
• When can you travel? Your travel dates change the price more than the hotel does. A 4-star package in late January can cost less than a 3-star package in Ramadan.
• Who is sharing the room? A quad room is the cheapest per person, a triple costs a little more, and a double gives couples privacy. As a guide, four people sharing one room on a 4-star, 10-night package start from £3,340 in total (4 × £835).

Tell us your dates, budget and who is travelling, and we will send you hotel names, flight options and a fixed price. There is no obligation, and nothing is reserved until you pay the £49 deposit.

How Your Nights Split Between Makkah and Madinah

A 7-night package is usually four nights in Makkah and three in Madinah. Ten nights is usually five in each city, and 14 nights is seven in each.

These splits are flexible, and changing a night is easy at the quotation stage. If you want more time in Madinah, for example to try for a second Rawdah visit, tell us before we book. Changing nights after your hotels are confirmed on Nusuk is much harder.

Inclusions and Optional Extras

Every Tawaf Travel Umrah package includes:

• Return flights from your chosen UK airport
• Hotels in Makkah and Madinah
• Airport transfers and coach transport between the two cities
• Nusuk visa support and guidance
• A pre-departure pack with your tickets, hotel vouchers and itinerary

Not included, so you can budget for it:

• Meals, unless you add a meal plan
• Guided Ziyarat tours, available as an add-on
• Travel insurance, which we recommend you buy when you pay your deposit
• The MenACWY vaccination and other health preparation
• Personal spending, Zamzam water and gifts
• Cabin upgrades, extra baggage and seat selection, arranged at cost on request

Umrah Package Prices Explained

Four things decide the price of a UK Umrah package: the hotel's star rating, the length of your stay, how many people share a room, and your travel dates. Every from-price on this page is per person, based on shared rooms on off-peak dates, and includes return flights, both hotels, transfers and Nusuk visa support.

Your travel dates make the biggest difference. This is the usual pattern for the 2026/27 season:

Why Pilgrims Book with Tawaf Travel

• A UK team you can reach: Our team is based in London, and you can contact us by phone and WhatsApp before you fly and while you are in Saudi Arabia.
• Financial protection where it applies: Flight-inclusive packages are protected under ATOL 10416, held by 7 Continents Travel Ltd. You receive an ATOL Certificate when you pay, and everything you booked should be listed on it. You can check any ATOL holder on the Civil Aviation Authority's ATOL website.
• Accredited and established: We are IATA accredited Umrah travel agency (IATA number 91280442), and 7 Continents Travel Ltd (Companies House 05224578) has arranged Hajj and Umrah since 2006. You can check all three registers yourself; we explain how further down this page.
• Named hotels, written prices: We tell you your hotel and its walking time before you pay, and the inclusions and exclusions are listed on this page.

How Booking Works, Step by Step

1. Tell us your dates, departure city and tier. We reply with hotel names, flight options and a fixed price.
2. Pay a £49 deposit to reserve your booking.
3. Send your passport details. We guide you through your Nusuk application and confirm the entry rules for your dates.
4. Pay the balance in instalments. It must be paid in full before you travel.
5. Receive your pre-departure pack with tickets, hotel vouchers, transfer details and itinerary before you fly.

Changes and cancellations follow our booking terms, which you can read before you pay a deposit.

UK Airports, Airlines and Flight Times

We book flights from six UK airports with airlines including Saudia, British Airways and Turkish Airlines, and with Pegasus and other carriers on some routes. Direct flights to Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) leave from Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham and take approx. 6 to 7 hours from London. From the other three airports, you change planes once.

Most flights to Madinah's Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED) involve a connection; a direct flight from Gatwick operates on selected dates only. Schedules change during the year, so we confirm routes and airlines for your dates when we quote.

The Umrah Visa, and What It Actually Costs

Every package includes visa support. The visa fee is a government charge set by the Saudi authorities and paid on the official Saudi platform, which shows the current fee before you pay. We do not add a hidden visa charge or any mark-up to your package price.

• Tourist eVisa: the visa most UK passport holders use for Umrah outside the Hajj season.
• Umrah visa: a visa issued for Umrah only. Since July 2026, a multiple-entry version is also available.
• Multiple-entry Umrah visa: valid for 365 days from issue, with up to 90 days' stay in total. You buy a Nusuk service package for each entry.
• Saudi ETA: available to UK passport holders since 1 July 2026. It is intended for tourism, business and short study, so check with us before you rely on it for Umrah.
• Nusuk Umrah permit: required whichever route you use. We give you support and guidance with the application.
• More detail: our Umrah visa page explains each route.

The 30-Day Entry Rule

A single-entry Umrah visa must be used within 30 days of the date it is issued. The 30 days count from the issue date, not your flight date. Saudi Arabia shortened this window from three months in late 2025, and an unused visa is cancelled automatically. After you arrive, you can stay for up to 90 days. Book your package early, but apply for the visa closer to your departure date; we will tell you when.

Season Cut-Off Dates for 2026/27

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah publishes fixed dates for each Umrah season. These are the official dates for 1448 AH, the current season.

The three 2027 dates mean different things. No new Umrah visas are issued after 9 March. If you already have one, you must enter Saudi Arabia by 23 March. Every Umrah-visa pilgrim must leave by 7 April, when Makkah begins preparing for Hajj.

Entry Requirements for UK Pilgrims

The Saudi authorities set these requirements and can change them, so we confirm the current rules for your dates before you pay. As a guide, you need:

• A valid visa or authorisation for Umrah, a Nusuk permit for each Umrah, and a Rawdah slot if you want to pray in the Rawdah in Madinah
• The MenACWY (meningitis ACWY) vaccination, given at least 10 days before arrival, with the certificate kept alongside your travel documents
• A passport valid for at least six months, generally with two blank pages

For the latest official guidance, see the FCDO's Saudi Arabia entry requirements and the Saudi Ministry of Health's Umrah health regulations.

Preparing for Umrah: The Rites and the Places to Visit

Your first Umrah takes a few hours. You enter ihram at the Miqat and recite the Talbiyah, perform tawaf around the Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram, walk sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and finish by cutting or trimming your hair. A second Umrah starts from Masjid Aisha at Tan'im.

For Ziyarat in Makkah, you can visit Jabal al-Nour, where the Cave of Hira is, and Jabal al-Thawr. In Madinah, besides Masjid an-Nabawi and the Rawdah, you can visit Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatayn, Mount Uhud and Jannat al-Baqi. The coach journey between the two cities is approx. 420 km.

Tips from Our Umrah Team

Advice our specialists give UK pilgrims before they travel:

• Book your Rawdah slot on the Nusuk app as soon as your permit is issued. Slots are released in limited windows and are taken quickly, especially in Ramadan.
• Pack your ihram in your hand luggage. Depending on your route, you may need to enter ihram before landing or on the coach.
• Tawaf is usually quietest after Fajr and late at night, and busiest straight after Maghrib and Isha.
• Travelling with elderly relatives? Ask us about hotels with a private prayer hall overlooking the Haram, such as Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana, for days when the walk is too much.
• Keep a printed copy and a phone copy of your ATOL Certificate, hotel vouchers and visa documents. It saves time at the airport and at hotel check-in.

When to Go: Ramadan, Easter and the 2027 Hajj Break

Your dates affect both the price and how crowded Makkah and Madinah are. The season table above shows the usual price pattern.

Ramadan is the busiest and most expensive time for Umrah. In 2027 it is expected to begin around 8 February, with Eid al-Fitr around 9 March. The Saudi authorities set separate Nusuk permit rules for Ramadan each year, so we confirm the rules for your dates. Book three to six months ahead, because flights and Makkah hotels sell out first.

Easter needs care in 2027. Easter Sunday is 28 March, after the 23 March last entry date for Umrah-visa pilgrims, and everyone on an Umrah visa must leave by 7 April. If you want to travel in the Easter school holidays, contact us early and we will tell you which dates and visa routes are still possible. December also sells out early because of the Christmas school holidays.

Umrah then stops for Hajj. Hajj 2027 is expected in mid-May, no new Umrah visas are issued after 9 March 2027, and the new season is expected to open in early June 2027. We check these dates regularly and confirm what you can book for your plans.

Booking timeline: book 4 to 8 weeks ahead for off-peak months, and 3 to 6 months ahead for Ramadan, December and Easter.

Umrah Packages for Families, Couples, Groups and Women

We plan each package around who is travelling:

• Family Umrah packages: connecting or adjacent rooms, child and infant prices, and a slower itinerary for younger travellers. Children can perform Umrah at any age, although a child's Umrah does not count as their obligatory Umrah once they reach adulthood.
• Couples: a double room in both cities, with the husband as the wife's mahram for travel. Each traveller needs their own Nusuk permit, but you share one booking.
• Group Umrah packages: quad rooms and one booking for the whole group, with the same flights and the same transport for everyone.
• Women's and first-time Umrah packages: women aged 18 and over may perform Umrah without a mahram under current Saudi policy, and we arrange women's group departures at a slower pace with extra support for first-time pilgrims. The schools of Islamic law differ on whether a mahram is needed for travel, so this is a personal decision.
• Elderly and reduced-mobility support: ground-floor or lift-served rooms, airport assistance, and advice on wheelchair hire and the paid assistance services at both mosques. Tell us when you enquire.

Choosing a UK Umrah Agent You Can Verify

You can check any UK Umrah agent on three public registers, and each check takes under a minute. We encourage you to check us too.

The three registers to check

1. ATOL protection: search the company name or ATOL number on the Civil Aviation Authority's ATOL website. ATOL protects flight-inclusive bookings if the company you booked with fails financially. It is not travel insurance and does not cover illness, cancellation or disruption. Our ATOL number is 10416, held by 7 Continents Travel Ltd.
2. IATA accreditation: an accredited agent issues airline tickets directly instead of passing your booking to a third party. Our IATA number is 91280442.
3. Companies House: check the limited company behind the trading name on Companies House. Tawaf Travel is a trading brand of 7 Continents Travel Ltd, company number 05224578. Trading names often do not appear on the register, which is normal. A brand that cannot tell you which company owns it is a warning sign.

Read your ATOL Certificate when it arrives. Anything not listed on it is not protected.

Warning signs worth walking away from

• No ATOL number on the website, or a number that shows a different company name
• A refusal to give you the inclusions and exclusions in writing before you pay the balance
• Pressure to pay in full immediately, or to pay into a personal account instead of a company account
• A business you can only contact through WhatsApp or social media, with no registered address you can check
• Hotels described as "near the Haram" with no hotel name and no walking time
• A promise that your visa is guaranteed. Only the Saudi authorities decide who receives a visa

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an Umrah package from the UK in 2026/27?

Prices start at £725 per person for 7 nights at 3-star, £765 at 4-star and £825 at 5-star, based on shared rooms on off-peak dates. Ten-night packages start at £790, £835 and £905, and 14-night packages at £850, £895 and £975. Every price includes return flights, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, transfers and Nusuk visa support. Travel dates affect the price most, so ask us to compare two or three options.

What is included in an Umrah package?

Return flights from your UK airport, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, airport and intercity transfers, Nusuk visa support and a pre-departure pack. Meals, guided Ziyarat and travel insurance are not included.

How do I choose the right Umrah package?

Consider four things: how close to Masjid al-Haram you want to stay, how much leave you have (7, 10 or 14 nights), when you can travel, and how many people will share a room. Distance to the mosque makes the biggest difference to comfort and to the price of each tier. Send us your budget, dates and group size, and we will recommend a tier with hotel names and a fixed price.

Which hotels are included, and how far are they from the Haram?

Hotels vary with dates and availability. As a guide, our 3-star hotels are approx. 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Masjid al-Haram, 4-star approx. 7 to 10 minutes and 5-star approx. 2 to 10 minutes. Recent examples include Al Kiswah Towers and Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana in Makkah, and Saja Al Madinah and Dar Al Taqwa in Madinah, where walking times are measured to Masjid an-Nabawi.

Are flights included, and which UK airports can I fly from?

Yes, return flights are included. We book flights from London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick (LGW), Birmingham (BHX), Manchester (MAN), Leeds Bradford (LBA) and Glasgow (GLA), with airlines including Saudia, British Airways and Turkish Airlines. Direct flights to Jeddah (JED) leave from Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham; from the other airports, you change planes once. Most flights to Madinah (MED) involve a connection, so we confirm the options for your dates when we quote.

How long is the flight from the UK to Jeddah?

A direct flight from London to Jeddah takes approx. 6 to 7 hours. With a connection, the journey takes longer depending on where you change, and we confirm the routing for your dates when we quote.

Is the Umrah visa fee included, and how much does the visa cost?

Every package includes visa support. The visa fee is a government charge set by the Saudi authorities and paid on the official Saudi platform, which shows the current amount before you pay. We do not add a hidden visa charge or any mark-up to your package price.

Can I perform Umrah on the new Saudi ETA?

The Saudi Electronic uthorisation (ETA) has been available to UK passport holders since 1 July 2026 and is intended for tourism, business and short study. Most UK pilgrims use the tourist eVisa or an Umrah visa, and we confirm which route suits your dates before you apply.

Is my booking ATOL protected?

Flight-inclusive packages are financially protected under ATOL 10416, held by 7 Continents Travel Ltd. You receive an ATOL Certificate when you pay; check that every part of your trip is listed on it. You can check any ATOL holder on the Civil Aviation Authority's ATOL website.

Do I need travel insurance for Umrah?

Yes, we recommend it. Travel insurance is not included in our packages, and ATOL protection is not insurance. The tourist eVisa includes the medical cover the Saudi authorities require, but that does not cover cancellation, lost baggage or most disruption, so buy a policy as soon as you pay your deposit.

Can I cancel or change my Umrah booking?

Yes, under our booking terms. Changes are easiest at the quotation stage. Once flights are ticketed and hotels are confirmed on Nusuk, airlines and hotels usually charge for changes. Read our booking terms before you pay a deposit, and choose travel insurance that covers cancellation.

How much does Umrah cost for a family of four?

As a guide, four people sharing one room on a 4-star, 10-night package start from £3,340 in total (4 × £835), including flights, hotels, transfers and Nusuk visa support. Child and infant prices, room type and travel dates change the final price, so we quote your family's exact cost.

Can I pay for my Umrah package in instalments?

Yes. A £49 deposit reserves your booking, and you pay the balance in instalments before you travel.

What documents and vaccinations do I need?

Generally, a passport valid for at least six months with two blank pages, a valid visa or authorisation for Umrah, and a Nusuk permit for each Umrah. Saudi Arabia currently requires the MenACWY (meningitis ACWY) vaccination, given at least 10 days before arrival. Requirements can change, so we confirm the current rules for your dates before you pay.

When is the cheapest time to go, and how early should I book?

January is usually the quietest and cheapest month of the 2026/27 season. Prices are often lower again when the new season opens in early June 2027, although Makkah and Madinah are very hot then. Ramadan, the Christmas holidays and Easter cost the most. Book 4 to 8 weeks ahead for off-peak months and 3 to 6 months ahead for peak dates.

Can I do Umrah over Easter 2027?

Only with careful planning. Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027, after the 23 March last entry date for Umrah-visa pilgrims, and every Umrah-visa pilgrim must leave by 7 April. Contact us early and we will tell you which dates and visa routes are still possible.

Do you offer 7, 10, 14 or 21-night packages?

Our set packages are for 7, 10 or 14 nights. Longer stays, including 21 nights, are available on request. Ten nights is our most popular length, with time for a second Umrah and unhurried Ziyarat.
