Overview

For pilgrims who want to immerse themselves in both holy cities, this 14 nights Manchester Umrah package includes 7 nights in Makkah and 7 nights in Madinah. With two full weeks, you can settle in, establish a routine, and experience the journey without rushing between rituals.

It is one of the best value Umrah deals from the UK for a long stay. You stay at Emaar Al Khalil Hotel in Makkah and Al Ansar New Palace Hotel in Madinah, both around a 10 minute walk from the Harams. Flying from Manchester Airport, the package suits pilgrims from Whalley Range, Crumpsall, Blackley, Prestwich and the wider Greater Manchester area. Return flights, Nusuk assistance, transfers and round the clock support are all included.

Price and Booking

From £839 per person. You can secure your place with a £99 deposit. Because flights and Nusuk processing cost the same whatever the length of the trip, a two week stay works out at better value per night than a shorter one.

Why Choose This Package?

A full week in each city changes the pace of the whole trip. You get the chance to perform Tawaf at different times of day, visit the Ziyarah sites in Makkah and Madinah properly rather than rushing through a checklist, and there are always two Fridays within the stay. There is also real space to rest without feeling that you are losing pilgrimage time.

This length particularly suits retirees with flexible schedules, first time pilgrims who want an unhurried experience, and families using the school holidays to give their children a deeper connection to Islamic history. In Madinah, you can book your Rawdah visit on the Nusuk app before you travel.

Every booking is ATOL protected under licence 12834, and you can read reviews from other pilgrims on Trustpilot. If you would prefer a hotel closer to the Harams, you can compare our 4 star Umrah packages.

Honestly? Fourteen nights isn't for everyone, and that's fine. It's specifically brilliant for certain groups. Retirees with flexible schedules absolutely love it - no work constraints, they can travel off-peak when it's cheaper and quieter, and the slower pacing suits older bodies better than rushed trips. First-time pilgrims wanting comprehensive understanding benefit massively - you have time to learn rituals properly, visit every significant site with guides explaining everything, make mistakes and correct them, and truly absorb what you're experiencing rather than just ticking boxes. Families providing children Islamic education find two weeks transformative - kids actually remember and understand when they're not being dragged frantically between sites. People taking sabbaticals or extended leave specifically for spiritual purposes obviously need maximum time. Those combining Umrah with Hajj season often extend stays to fourteen nights or more. Basically, if you're thinking "I wish I had more time" during shorter trips, or you want genuine life-changing spiritual immersion rather than just performing obligatory rituals, fourteen nights is your answer. But if you're just fulfilling basic obligation quickly, seven nights works fine - don't force two weeks unnecessarily.

Seven nights per city compared to typical 4-3 or 5-5 splits creates fundamentally different experiences. In Makkah with full week, you genuinely settle into rhythms rather than constantly feeling like you just arrived. You can perform Umrah on day 2 when properly rested instead of rushing jet-lagged, attend two Friday prayers if your dates align (incredible spiritual experience), visit Cave of Hira on one day, Jabal Thawr another, Jannat al-Mu'alla cemetery another - spacing sites out for proper absorption rather than exhausting marathon tours cramming everything into 2 days. You pray Tahajjud (late night voluntary prayers) multiple times across the week at different hours experiencing varied atmospheres. You rest days when genuinely tired without anxiety about "wasting" precious limited time. In Madinah with full week, your Rawdah entry chances increase dramatically - with 3 nights you might get 2-3 attempts, with 7 nights you get 6-8 attempts across different times and crowd conditions, vastly improving success odds. You visit Quba Mosque multiple times (each visit carries special rewards), spend different days at Uhud, the Seven Mosques, and other sites without speed-running through them. Most significantly, seven nights lets you experience each city's unique spiritual character across different moods - Friday energy differs from Wednesday calm, dawn atmosphere differs from evening. You become temporary resident rather than passing tourist.

Right, full transparency about week-long 3-star stays because this matters. Emaar Al Khalil in Makkah and Al Ansar New Palace in Madinah are both solid 3-star properties - they maintain standards adequately for extended stays but you need realistic expectations. Rooms around 20-24 square meters with two double beds (or four singles), functioning air conditioning that sometimes struggles during peak heat but generally works, WiFi that connects (mostly, though speeds aren't amazing), private bathrooms with reliable hot water and basic toiletries, daily housekeeping that actually comes daily (usually), and 24-hour reception. For week-long stays specifically, you notice things you might not in shorter visits: mattresses are decent but not luxury (some people bring thin mattress toppers), soundproofing isn't perfect (you'll hear neighboring rooms sometimes), water pressure varies (usually fine, occasionally weak), and hotel restaurants get repetitive after 4-5 days (worth exploring local eateries nearby). Walking distances (10-15 minutes to mosques) feel longer when you're doing it multiple times daily for a week, so comfortable walking shoes become essential. The shuttle buses help during busy times but aren't always immediately available - sometimes you wait 10-15 minutes. Is it bearable for seven nights? Absolutely. Is it luxury? No. Does it serve its purpose (clean place to sleep, shower, rest between worship)? Completely. Many pilgrims actually prefer 3-star for extended stays because savings fund other meaningful experiences.

Manchester families need very realistic budgeting for two-week trips to avoid financial stress ruining the experience. Package covers flights, hotels, Nusuk Permit, basic transport. Beyond that, careful planning required. Meals become significant over fourteen days: if not adding breakfast package, budget £7-13 per meal per adult, £5-9 per child, three daily meals = approximately £25-40 daily per adult, £15-25 per child. Over 14 days that's £350-560 per adult, £210-350 per child just for food. Adding hotel breakfast (where available) costs more upfront but eliminates morning stress with hungry children and ensures proper nutrition - roughly £10-15 daily per person, £140-210 for fortnight. Ziyarah tours for families become practically essential with two weeks - comprehensive guided tours both cities cost £60-100 per adult, children often 50% discount. Having guides explain history creates understanding children actually retain. Personal expenses multiply over two weeks: souvenirs and gifts for extended family (£60-150), Zamzam containers and shipping (£20-40), extra clothing because kids inevitably damage/outgrow stuff mid-trip (£30-60). Local taxis for occasional family comfort (especially with tired children or elderly grandparents): £50-100 over two weeks. Travel insurance for 14-day family coverage: £120-200 total. Grand total realistic additional budget (family of 4): £1,100-1,800 beyond package cost. Manchester families consistently underestimate because they're thinking "it's only 3-star hotels, how expensive can it be?" but two weeks in Saudi Arabia with family genuinely costs.

Fourteen nights quad sharing requires honest conversation about practicalities because two weeks sharing close quarters is very different from 3-4 nights. Standard quad configurations: two double beds or four single beds in 22-25 square meter rooms with one bathroom. This works for families (2 adults, 2 children), close friend groups who know each other well, or two couples traveling together who are comfortable sharing space. Over two weeks, small irritations compound: coordinating one bathroom for morning Fajr preparation when everyone needs it simultaneously creates tension, different sleep schedules (early sleepers vs night prayer enthusiasts) cause friction, snoring that's tolerable for 3 nights becomes maddening by night 10, varying cleanliness standards start annoying people, and limited storage space means someone's suitcase is always in someone else's way. Privacy is minimal - changing happens in bathroom, no private conversations, and intimate time for married couples basically doesn't exist. However, quad sharing makes two-week packages financially possible for many families who simply couldn't afford double/single rates. Money-saving is substantial. Tips for successful quad sharing: establish morning bathroom schedule first night, bring earplugs for sensitive sleepers, respect quiet hours for people sleeping, keep your stuff organized in designated area, communicate openly about issues before they fester. If you're a couple without children and don't know who you'll share with, ask agency to pair you with similar demographic (age, family situation). Solo travelers or couples absolutely requiring privacy must accept that double occupancy costs noticeably more (roughly 60-70% of total quad price for just 2 people), single occupancy costs even more (approximately 75-85% of total quad price for 1 person).

Timing strategy differs dramatically based on travel period preferences. For off-peak periods (avoiding Ramadan, Hajj, major UK school holidays), booking 12-15 weeks ahead hits sweet spot - sufficient advance for good Manchester flight selection, proper hotel room availability and configuration choices, time to arrange installment payment plans if needed, but not so far ahead that life circumstances might change. For UK school holiday periods (half-terms in October/February, Easter break, summer holidays July-August), book minimum 4-5 months ahead because Manchester's massive Muslim population (120,000+) creates intense competition for family packages during these limited windows. Christmas season (late December) also needs 3-4 months advance for same reason. Ramadan packages require 6-8 months advance booking minimum - seriously, people book next Ramadan immediately after current Ramadan ends. Why such long lead? Global demand for Ramadan Umrah is astronomical, and Manchester has particularly high demand during this period. Last-minute bookings (under 6 weeks) rarely work for 14-night packages because agencies need time to coordinate extended hotel stays, confirm flight availability, process Nusuk Permits (which take 2-3 weeks minimum), but occasionally you get lucky if someone cancels and agency needs to fill spot urgently. Payment structures: most require deposits (£100-150 per person) at booking, balance due 6-8 weeks before departure, but many offer payment plans for two-week packages specifically because total cost is higher - spreading over 4-6 monthly installments significantly helps Manchester working families booking multiple people. Early booking advantages for 14-nighters specifically: maximum Manchester Airport flight time selection (crucial for planning work/school around), guaranteed hotel availability for full two-week blocks (hotels don't always have 14 consecutive nights available, especially popular properties), ability to request specific room locations (ground floor for elderly, connecting rooms for families), negotiation leverage for extras (breakfast, upgrades, Ziyarah tours), and psychological benefit of having major trip secured and progressively paid rather than stressing.
