Umrah Packages from Birmingham

Planning Your Umrah from Birmingham

Booking your Umrah should feel like a conversation, not a form to fill in. Whether it is your first pilgrimage or a return journey, we will talk it through at your pace. We have helped Birmingham families of every kind make this journey: young couples travelling together for the first time, parents fitting the trip into the school holidays, and grandparents returning to the Haram. So, we know what tends to be on your mind, from how near the hotel is to the Haram, to which flight is easier for older travellers, to fitting the trip around work and school. Tell us who is coming and what matters most, and we will build a Birmingham Umrah package to suit, with a real person on the phone whenever you need one.

Serving Pilgrims Across Birmingham and the West Midlands

Every week we help the Birmingham Muslim community plan their Umrah from Birmingham Airport, and we arrange Umrah packages across the West Midlands: from Sparkhill, Small Heath, Alum Rock, Aston, Handsworth and Balsall Heath, out into Solihull, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Walsall, with some pilgrims travelling from as far as Leicester. Before you fly, you will know your flight options, hotel location, room arrangements and travel documents, so there are no surprises on the day. Share your dates, budget and star tier, and we will shape an ATOL-protected package to match.

Our Umrah Packages from Birmingham

Every package covers return flights, hotels in both Makkah and Madinah, Nusuk visa support and transfers, in 7, 10 or 14 nights. Compare the tiers below, then see all our Umrah packages from the UK, or browse by occasion: Ramadan, Easter, family, group and women's only Umrah.

3-Star Umrah Packages Birmingham: from £695pp

Comfortable, budget-friendly stays in reliable hotels within walking or short-shuttle distance of the sacred sites. These are the cheapest Umrah packages from Birmingham we offer, and a sensible choice for first-time pilgrims, students and anyone who wants a straightforward, affordable trip without giving up reliability. Available as 3-star 7, 10 and 14-night packages.

4-Star Umrah Packages Birmingham: from £825pp

A step up in comfort, with hotels closer to the Haram, larger rooms and stronger facilities. Popular with families and couples who want more ease without moving to full luxury. Available as 4-star 7, 10 and 14-night packages.

5-Star Umrah Packages Birmingham: from £855pp

Our luxury Umrah packages from Birmingham use premium 5-star hotels a short walk from Masjid al-Haram, with spacious rooms and upgraded dining. Well suited to families marking a special occasion, elderly pilgrims who value being close to the mosque, and anyone wanting a restful, comfortable Umrah. The 5-star tier typically ranges from £855 to about £1,065 per person, depending on season and duration.

Ramadan, Easter and Family Umrah from Birmingham

Tawaf Travel offers flexible travel options for pilgrims planning their spiritual journey during key times of the year. Ramadan Umrah holds special significance, with options including full-month stays and shorter trips during the last ten nights when many pilgrims hope to experience Laylat al-Qadr. As Ramadan is a busy travel period, early booking helps secure preferred dates and hotels near the Haram. Easter Umrah packages are popular with families travelling during UK school holidays, allowing them to perform Umrah without disrupting school schedules. Booking in advance helps secure suitable flights, accommodation, and travel arrangements.

What First-Time Birmingham Pilgrims Should Know

If this is your first Umrah, keep things simple. A 3 or 4-star hotel within walking distance means you are not tied to shuttle timings, and a direct flight from Birmingham helps you arrive less tired. Ten nights makes a comfortable first stay across Makkah and Madinah. We will walk you through entering Ihram at the Miqat (Dhul Hulayfah, for pilgrims starting in Madinah) and each step of Umrah at the Haram, and you can reach us at any point along the way.

How Much Do Umrah Packages from Birmingham Cost in 2026?

Umrah packages from Birmingham usually start from around £695 per person for a 3-star package, rising to roughly £855 to £1,065 per person for 5-star, depending on when you travel and how long you stay. Four things move the price the most:

• How close and how highly rated your hotel is: the nearer the Haram and the higher the star rating, the higher the cost.
• How long you stay: 7, 10 or 14 nights.
• When you travel: Ramadan, the summer school holidays and the December break are the busiest and priciest windows, while late autumn and mid-winter are usually quieter and more affordable.
• How many share a room: a quad or triple lowers the per-person price compared with a twin or double.

Prices move with airline fares and hotel availability, so a tailored quote for your exact dates is always more reliable than a headline 'from' price. Whatever your budget, we can put together an affordable Umrah package from Birmingham that fits, and for the latest Umrah deals from Birmingham and an exact figure, get your Birmingham Umrah quote today by phone, WhatsApp or the enquiry form.

Before You Book: 5 Things to Check

Before you book any Umrah package from Birmingham, check these five things:

1. How far is the hotel from the Haram? Confirm whether it is walking distance or a shuttle hotel. A short walk matters most for elderly pilgrims and anyone who wants to return to the room between prayers.
2. Is the flight direct or connecting? A direct BHX to Jeddah flight is faster and less tiring; a connecting flight is usually cheaper with more dates. Weigh comfort against budget.
3. Who is sharing the room? Double, triple or quad. A quad or triple lowers the per-person price, so decide who is sharing before you compare quotes.
4. Is your visa supported through Nusuk? Check that your Umrah visa is supported for you through Nusuk, and that you know which documents you need.
5. What do the transfers cover? Confirm your airport pickup and the Makkah to Madinah transfer, and whether they are shared or private.

Flights from Birmingham Airport (BHX)

Birmingham Airport (BHX), officially Birmingham International Airport, is a convenient departure point for Midlands pilgrims, close to the M42 and M6 and served by rail and coach. For your Birmingham to Jeddah flights for Umrah, you can fly direct from BHX to Jeddah with Saudia, the Saudi national carrier, in around 6 hours 15 minutes. Direct services run on limited days each week, so it is worth booking early to hold the dates you want. If you prefer a lower fare, connecting routes with Turkish Airlines (Istanbul), Qatar Airways (Doha), Emirates (Dubai) or Oman Air (Muscat) cost less but take longer. Choose direct for comfort with elderly pilgrims or children, or connecting for budget or flexibility. Birmingham has no direct Madinah flight.  Departing from another city instead? See our Manchester and London Umrah packages.

Which Airport Do You Fly Into: Jeddah or Madinah?

Most pilgrims fly into Jeddah (King Abdulaziz International Airport), then drive to Makkah, approx. 1 hour 30 minutes away. To begin in Madinah instead, fly into Madinah (Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport) and visit Masjid an-Nabawi first. Makkah has no airport of its own, so every Makkah-first trip arrives through Jeddah. One tip from experience: check your Saudia baggage allowance before you fly, and remember you can bring Zamzam water home within the airline's allowance.

Hotels in Makkah and Madinah

Your hotel makes a real difference to how restful your Umrah feels, so location and tier are set out clearly in every package. Distances below are approximate and depend on the exact hotel in your package.

Makkah Hotels

In Makkah, packages use hotels within approx. 500m to 1.5km of Masjid al-Haram, from comfortable 3-star options with shuttle access to 5-star hotels a short walk from the mosque. On the premium tier, Swissôtel Makkah and Pullman ZamZam Makkah sit inside the Abraj Al Bait complex, approx. 2 minutes' walk from Masjid al-Haram, while Hilton Suites Makkah is approx. 5 minutes' walk. Closer, higher-rated hotels cost more but save you walking time between prayers.

Madinah Hotels

In Madinah, hotels sit within approx. 300m to 900m of Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet's Mosque. Anwar Al Madinah Mövenpick faces the mosque directly, approx. 1 to 2 minutes' walk from Masjid an-Nabawi, and Al Haram Hotel by Al Rawda is another well-regarded option on the higher tiers. Staying close to Masjid an-Nabawi makes reaching each prayer and the Rawdah Sharif far easier, particularly for elderly pilgrims.

Umrah Visa and Nusuk Guidance for UK Pilgrims

Your Umrah visa is issued electronically as a Saudi eVisa through Nusuk, the official platform of the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, which is also used to confirm your accommodation. Every Birmingham Umrah package includes Nusuk visa support, and we check your requirements with you so your visa, vaccination record and documents are all in order before you fly. A few key points for UK pilgrims in 2026:

1. From 1 July 2026, the Saudi Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) replaced the earlier Electronic Visa Waiver, so check the current entry route that applies to you before you travel.
2. The MenACWY (meningitis ACWY) vaccination is mandatory and must be given at least 10 days before you arrive in Saudi Arabia, so keep your certificate with you.
3. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your date of travel.
4. Women aged 18 and over can now perform Umrah without a mahram, under current Saudi policy, though families and groups are of course welcome to travel together.

Ziyarah: Sacred Sites to Visit

Many pilgrims like to visit the historic Islamic sites around the two cities, known as Ziyarat. In and around Makkah, these often include Jabal al-Nour and the Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat. In Madinah, pilgrims commonly visit Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatayn, and the site of the Battle of Uhud with the graves of the martyrs. A guided Ziyarat tour can be added to any Birmingham Umrah package, so you can visit the sites that matter to you between prayer times.

What's Included and What's Not

Every Birmingham Umrah package from Tawaf Travel includes:

• Return flights from Birmingham (BHX), or another UK airport of your choice
• Hotels in Makkah and Madinah at your chosen star tier
• Umrah visa through Nusuk (Nusuk visa support)
• Airport transfers and the intercity Makkah to Madinah transfer

Not automatically included, but available on request:

• Guided Ziyarat tours
• Travel insurance
• Private transfers
• Meals beyond those specified in your hotel booking

Setting this out upfront means you always know exactly what your package covers, with no assumptions and no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions: Umrah Packages from Birmingham

What is the cheapest Umrah package from Birmingham?

The cheapest are our 3-star packages, from £695 per person. They usually pair a connecting flight from Birmingham (BHX) with hotels a short walk or shuttle ride from the Haram. Prices rise with a higher tier, a closer hotel, a longer stay, or peak dates like Ramadan.

Is Birmingham cheaper than London for Umrah packages?

Prices are broadly similar, since hotels and flights make up most of the cost and both cities fly direct to Jeddah. The real saving from Birmingham is convenience: no long trip down to Heathrow or Gatwick. Compare a live quote for your dates.

How do I get to Birmingham Airport?

Birmingham Airport (BHX) sits approx. 8 miles east of Birmingham city centre. From Birmingham New Street, a direct train reaches Birmingham International station in around 10 minutes, and the free Air-Rail Link takes you into the terminal in about 2 minutes. By car, it is close to the M42 and M6, with long-stay and short-stay parking on site.

Yes. Saudia flies direct from Birmingham (BHX) to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia in around 6 hours 15 minutes. Direct services run on limited days each week, so book early. Connecting routes via Istanbul, Doha, Dubai or Muscat usually cost less.

Do you book flights directly from Birmingham?

Yes. We book your flights from Birmingham Airport (BHX) itself, including the direct Saudia service to Jeddah where dates allow. Some agencies advertise Birmingham departures but route you through Manchester or London; we do not, so you are not left arranging the extra journey yourself.

What is included in a Birmingham Umrah package?

We serve pilgrims across Birmingham, including Sparkhill, Small Heath, Alum Rock, Aston, Handsworth and Balsall Heath, plus Solihull, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Walsall and the wider West Midlands. Everything is arranged around your Birmingham Airport (BHX) departure.

Which airport do I fly into for Umrah?

The MenACWY vaccination is required at least 10 days before arrival, and your passport should be valid for six months.

How early should I book my Umrah from Birmingham?

For off-peak months, 6 to 12 weeks ahead is usually enough. For Ramadan, the summer holidays and December, book as early as you can, as these sell out and prices rise.
