10 Nights 3 Star Manchester Umrah Package: Proper Time, Proper Price
Extended Stay Without Extended Bills
Right, so you’ve looked at the 7 nights option and thought “that’s a bit rushed, innit?” Fair enough. Ten nights gives you proper breathing room – five full nights in each holy city. You actually settle in rather than just passing through.
Our 10 nights Manchester Umrah package keeps the same straightforward approach – fly from Manchester, no London connections, reasonable 3-star accommodation, honest pricing. Just more time to actually absorb everything.
Why Ten Nights Changes Everything
Here’s what you get with those extra three nights: you’re not constantly checking your watch, you can visit Ziyarah sites without speed-running through them, you pray at different times experiencing varied atmospheres, and you rest properly when tired without guilt about “wasting pilgrimage time.”
Five nights per city means equal time in Makkah and Madinah. Feels more balanced than that lopsided 4-3 split. You establish routines, know where things are, feel settled – not like you’re permanently jet-lagged.
Your Manchester Departure Advantage
Same benefits as shorter packages – direct Manchester Airport access, no expensive London travel, familiar departure point, decent Muslim facilities. But with ten nights, the convenience matters even more. You’re gone longer, so not adding that London journey stress makes a real difference.
Many Greater Manchester families prefer extended stays because it allows proper pacing with children. Not rushing kids through sites creates better memories and less meltdowns.

The Hotels: Straight Talk
Emaar Andalusia in Makkah – solid 3-star property, nothing fancy but properly maintained. Rooms are clean, AC works, WiFi connects (mostly), daily housekeeping. About 12-15 minute walk to Haram, or shuttle bus during busy times.
Jawharat Al Rasheed in Madinah – similar standard, comfortable enough for five nights. Walking distance to Prophet’s Mosque varies (10-15 minutes typically), but Madinah’s generally more relaxed than Makkah anyway.
Both hotels provide what you actually need – somewhere clean to sleep, shower, and rest between prayers. Not luxury, not pretending to be, just functional comfort at honest rates.
Five Nights Per City: The Breakdown
In Makkah (5 nights):
- Perform Umrah rituals without rushing
- Multiple Tawaf attempts at different times
- Visit Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, other sites properly
- Pray during peaceful dawn and late-night hours
- Actually rest when exhausted
In Madinah (5 nights):
- Multiple Rawdah entry attempts (increases success chances)
- Proper time at Prophet’s grave without crowds pushing
- Visit Quba Mosque, Uhud, Seven Mosques thoroughly
- Experience Madinah’s unique peaceful atmosphere
- Engage with other pilgrims, build connections

The Economics Make Sense
Ten nights from Manchester typically costs only slightly more than seven nights – maybe £100-150 extra per person. But you get 43% more pilgrimage time. That’s roughly £25-40 per additional night. Try finding decent accommodation anywhere for that.
For Manchester working families, this represents genuine value. Similar to our comprehensive Umrah packages range, we focus on what actually matters – proper time, proper support, proper pricing.
Room Sharing: The Reality
Package pricing assumes 4 people per room. That’s standard for budget 3-star – typically two double beds or four single beds. Works fine for families, friend groups, or couples traveling together.
Want different configurations? Triple rooms (3 people) cost a bit more per person. Double rooms (2 people) cost noticeably more. Single rooms (solo traveler luxury) cost significantly more. Ask when booking for specific pricing.
Transport Included, But What Exactly?
The transportation services included cover Manchester Airport to Makkah hotel, Makkah hotel to Madinah hotel, and Madinah hotel back to airport. That’s it.
Local taxis around Makkah or Madinah? Not included. Ziyarah tour transport? That’s the optional add-on. It’s clearly stated – we’re not hiding anything. Budget £30-50 extra if you want occasional local taxis for comfort.

Manchester Community Knows Extended Value
Greater Manchester’s Muslim community increasingly chooses extended stays when possible. Seven nights works for quick trips, but ten nights provides that deeper experience many people actually want.
Whether you’re from Cheetham Hill, Longsight, Rusholme, Levenshulme, or anywhere across Greater Manchester – you know the value of getting it done properly first time rather than rushing and regretting it.
Make It Work For You
Ziyarah tours worth adding? Absolutely. Having a knowledgeable guide explain historical significance at sites creates much richer understanding than just visiting independently.
Breakfast inclusion? Depends. Some people prefer exploring local restaurants (cheaper, more authentic). Others value hotel breakfast convenience, especially families with children. Your call.
