14 Nights 3 Star London Umrah Package: Two Full Weeks From the Capital
A Proper Fortnight in the Holy Cities
Right, this is the extended option – fourteen full nights, seven in each city. Not rushing through, not cutting corners on time. Just complete immersion at budget-friendly 3-star rates.
Our 14 nights London Umrah package combines the capital’s unmatched flight connectivity with maximum pilgrimage duration. Two full weeks to actually live in Makkah and Madinah, not just visit.
Why Two Weeks Makes Complete Sense
Seven nights each city isn’t just double the standard visit – it’s fundamentally different. You’re not a tourist anymore, you’re temporarily residing. Establish routines, build connections, experience the cities across different moods and times.
This duration particularly suits retirees with flexibility, those taking extended annual leave, or people combining Umrah with the sacred Hajj season.
London’s Unbeatable Connectivity
From Heathrow and Gatwick, you get multiple daily direct flights to Jeddah. More departure options than any other UK city. Multiple carriers competing. Better backup plans if issues arise.
Living in London, Kent, Surrey, Essex, or anywhere in the South East? Your local airports beat traveling elsewhere for departure. Time saved, stress avoided, especially crucial for two-week trips.
Working with Aqdas Travel, London pilgrims get dedicated support understanding the capital’s unique Muslim community needs.

The Hotels: Two-Week Reality Check
Emaar Al Khalil in Makkah – budget 3-star property, about 10-12 minute walk to Haram. For a full week’s stay, manage expectations. Rooms are clean and maintained, AC functions adequately, WiFi connects (speeds aren’t brilliant), daily housekeeping happens consistently.
Elaf Taiba in Madinah – similar 3-star standard, roughly 10-12 minutes to Prophet’s Mosque. Comfortable enough for seven nights. Madinah’s calmer atmosphere makes these properties feel more relaxed than Makkah equivalents.
Both hotels provide adequate comfort for extended stays without luxury pretensions. You’re budget 3-star for a reason – sensible rates.
Seven Nights Per City: Full Immersion
Makkah (Full Week):
- Perform Umrah rituals at genuinely preferred time
- Multiple Tawafs across different days and hours
- Complete Makkah Ziyarah without any rushing
- Attend two Friday prayers if timing aligns
- Pray Tahajjud repeatedly experiencing varied atmospheres
- Actually rest when exhausted without guilt
- Experience Haram across all moods
Madinah (Full Week):
- Numerous Rawdah entry attempts throughout week
- Proper reflection time at Prophet’s grave repeatedly
- Visit Quba Mosque multiple times for rewards
- Thorough Uhud and Seven Mosques exploration
- Engage deeply with Madinah’s peaceful energy
- Build meaningful pilgrim friendships
- Complete spiritual transformation opportunity
Who Needs Fourteen Nights
Perfect Candidates
| Pilgrim Type | Why Two Weeks Works |
|---|
| London Retirees | Flexible schedules, prefer unhurried pacing |
| Sabbatical Travelers | Taking extended time off work |
| First-Timers | Want comprehensive learning experience |
| Deep Seekers | Genuine spiritual transformation focus |
| Combined Hajj | Extending stay around Hajj season |
| South East Families | Using school holidays maximally |
Comparing Comfort Levels
This 3-star fortnight versus shorter 4-star packages presents interesting choice: more time at budget comfort, or less time at premium comfort?
Many London pilgrims choose extended budget over shortened luxury. Time matters more than fancy amenities for spiritual purposes.
Want true luxury? Consider our 5-star packages offering premium experience in condensed timeframes.
Room Sharing for Fortnight
Quad occupancy (4 per room) over two weeks requires realistic expectations. You’re sharing close quarters for fourteen consecutive nights – coordination essential.
Works for families, close friends, or compatible couples. Solo travelers or couples wanting privacy pay premiums for double/single configurations.
Transport Inclusions Clarity
Included: London airports to Makkah hotel, Makkah to Madinah transfer, Madinah to departure airport.
Not included: Local taxis within cities, Ziyarah tour transport (optional extra). Budget £40-70 additional over two weeks for occasional taxi comfort.
Extended Stay Budget Reality
Additional Costs (14 Days)
| Expense Type | Realistic Estimate |
|---|
| Meals (no breakfast) | £200-350 per person |
| Ziyarah Tours | £60-100 comprehensive |
| Personal Shopping | £50-150 typical |
| Local Transport | £40-80 occasional use |
| Travel Insurance | £40-65 two-week coverage |
| Miscellaneous | £40-70 buffer |
| Total Additional | £430-650 per person |
London’s Two-Week Market
London’s massive Muslim population increasingly recognizes extended stay value. If you’re investing London airport travel, flights, and Travel Formalities anyway – maximize the experience.
Seven nights fulfills obligations. Fourteen nights creates transformation. Different purposes entirely.
Similar to our January packages offering extended winter options, this London fortnight focuses on maximum meaningful time.
Making Two Weeks Work From London
For Working Londoners: Requires careful leave planning. Many combine two weeks annual leave with bank holidays creating extended periods.
For South East Families: School holidays (half-terms, Easter, summer) accommodate fortnights perfectly. Plan around these fixed periods.
For Retirees: Complete flexibility choosing quieter periods with better rates and smaller crowds.
Ziyarah Tours: Practically Essential
With fourteen nights, comprehensive Ziyarah becomes crucial. You have time to visit everything properly with guides explaining significance.
Children especially benefit from educational guided tours versus independent wandering.
The Fortnight vs Week Choice
Could you do two separate week-long trips instead? Technically yes. But one continuous fortnight offers better value (one set of flights/Travel Formalities costs), deeper spiritual continuity (momentum builds rather than restarting), and simpler planning (one trip to organize, not two).
Across all our Umrah packages range, extended single stays consistently outperform split shorter trips for genuine transformation.
London Booking Timeline
Two-week packages from London need 10-15 weeks advance booking minimum for general periods, 4-6 months for school holidays and Ramadan.
London’s 1.3 million Muslim population creates intense demand. Early booking secures proper availability and configuration.
Honest Assessment
This package suits people genuinely wanting maximum time in holy cities at minimum luxury premium. You’re budget 3-star deliberately – keeping costs sensible while maximizing duration.
Not for those wanting pampered comfort. Not for rushed obligation-fulfillers. For people seeking genuine two-week spiritual immersion from London at honest working-family rates.
Our London team handles everything straightforwardly – no pressure, no surprises, just proper service for the capital’s pilgrims planning extended sacred journeys.
