Overview
Our 7 Nights 3 Star April Umrah Package offers a straightforward one-week Umrah option for UK pilgrims looking to travel in spring on a budget. It includes 4 nights in Makkah at Makarem Al Shorofat, with a free shuttle service to the Haram, and 3 nights in Madinah at Dar Al Eiman Al Nour, just a short walk from Masjid Nabawi.
It is one of our Umrah packages from UK airports, with return flights, Saudi visa assistance, hotels, and all your transfers arranged by our UK team at Aqdas Travel.
Price and Travel Dates
From £999 per person on a quad sharing basis (4 people per room). You can secure your place with a £99 deposit.
Umrah visa rules before Hajj: Every year Saudi Arabia pauses Umrah visas ahead of the Hajj season. Visas stop being issued at the start of Shawwal, pilgrims must arrive by the middle of Shawwal and everyone on an Umrah visa must leave by the end of Shawwal. Because the Islamic calendar moves around 11 days earlier each year, these deadlines fall on different dates every year and can affect April travel. Our team will confirm which dates are open for your year before you book. If you are travelling with children at Easter, we will check your school holiday dates against that year’s deadlines.

Why Choose This Package?
Four nights in Makkah gives you time to perform your Umrah properly and return to the Haram for extra Tawaf and prayers, and three nights in Madinah gives you time to pray at Masjid Nabawi and visit Quba Mosque. It is a good fit for working professionals, first time pilgrims and families who can only get one week off.
Spring is warm rather than mild in Makkah, with daytime temperatures usually in the mid to high 30s°C. That is much easier than the summer, but it is still best to plan Tawaf for the early morning or evening. Because the Makkah hotel is outside walking distance, the free shuttle is your main way to the Haram. It gets busy before prayer times, so leave early for the congregational prayers or take a taxi when you are short of time.
Every booking is ATOL protected under licence 12834, and you can read reviews from other pilgrims on Trustpilot. You can find out more about how we handle transfers on our transportation services page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I travel on this package in April?
It depends on the year. Umrah visas are paused before Hajj, and because the Islamic calendar moves around 11 days earlier every year, the last date for Umrah pilgrims changes too. In some years April is fully open, and in others only the first days are, or none at all. Our team will tell you exactly which dates are available when you enquire.
Can I walk to the Haram from the Makkah hotel?
It is around 2.5 km, so most pilgrims use the hotel’s free shuttle, which runs around every 20 minutes. Taxis are also easy to find.
How far is the Madinah hotel from Masjid Nabawi?
Dar Al Eiman Al Nour is around 600 metres from Masjid Nabawi, usually a 7 to 9 minute walk.
Can I visit the Rawdah?
Yes, with a free permit from the Nusuk app. Each person can book one permit every 365 days, and there is an instant access option when you are close to the mosque.
