Overview
Want a longer Umrah with more time in Madinah, without paying a lot more? This 14 night trip is made for families in Blackburn and across Lancashire who prefer a slower, calmer pace. Aqdas Travel UK arranges everything for you, including hotels, return flights, visa help and all transfers. If you are still comparing, see all our Umrah packages from the UK.
You stay 4 nights in Makkah and 10 nights in Madinah. This is not the usual split, so we explain below who it suits and who it does not. Flights leave from Manchester Airport, about 45 to 60 minutes drive from Blackburn on the M65 and M61.

Why 10 Nights in Madinah
Most 14 night packages give you more time in Makkah. This one does the opposite, so it is worth checking that it is right for you.
This package suits you if you have done Umrah before, you want a calm and unhurried stay near Masjid an Nabawi, you are travelling with elderly parents or small children who find the Makkah crowds hard, or you want enough time for Ziyarah around Madinah.
This package may not suit you if it is your first Umrah and you want as much time at the Haram as possible, or you plan to perform Umrah more than once on this trip. In that case, a package with more nights in Makkah is a better fit, and we are happy to quote you one.
Getting There From Blackburn
Blackburn has no passenger airport, so your trip starts with the drive to Manchester. Most families drive and use long stay parking, which costs around £80 to £120 for a trip this long. The train is about £17 to £23 per person each way, but you have to change at Manchester Piccadilly, which is difficult with Umrah luggage.
If you are going with a mosque group, shared coach transport usually works out at £15 to £25 per person. We arrange group bookings, payment plans and shared transport, so please mention it when you call. Our guide to Umrah from Blackburn covers airport choices and real travel costs in more detail.
Book or Ask a Question
Call 0203 504 1818 or email info@aqdastravel.co.uk. We will confirm what is available, give you the hotel details and explain the full cost before you book anything. If you would prefer more comfort and a hotel closer to the Haram, see our 5 star Umrah packages.
