Umrah Packages from the UK in 2026: Your Complete Guide to Sacred Pilgrimage
Planning for Umrah: When you make the decision to take on Umrah, one of Islam’s most spiritually enriching journeys, planning for it can feel very challenging. EasyHajj offers complete Umrah packages from the UK to ensure that nothing disrupts your pilgrimage, and you can concentrate on carrying out ibadah at Makkah and Madinah.
What Sets Our Umrah Packages Apart for UK Pilgrims
As a British Muslim, we understand that you need far more than basic travel advice. Our Umrah packages are designed specifically for UK residents, offering direct flights from London and other major UK airports, accommodation close to the Haram, and professional English-speaking support throughout your Umrah journey.
Each of our packages combines critical travel details with valuable spiritual readiness. We arrange visas as per the UK travel requirements, direct flights from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, and other major cities in the UK. The packages include a variety of 3-star to 5-star accommodation/hotels, Saudi ground transfers, and guided Ziyarah tours of Islamic historic sites.
Because of our expertise, you receive thorough pre-travel preparation, complete itineraries detailing every process, and guidance post-program. Our pilgrims from the United Kingdom number in the thousands, and we have won their trust through continuity, consistency, and sincere concern for their spiritual journey.
Understanding Umrah: Duration and Spiritual Significance
Umrah is a great chance for spiritual healing and change compared with Hajj. Though Tawaf and Sa’i can be performed in three to six hours, our packages are designed for 7–14 nights to give you enough time to worship, reflect, and seek closeness with Allah.
And this lengthy period also makes it simple for you to spend several days in the tranquillity of Masjid al-Haram, offer extra Salah there, make a trip to the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, and go on optional Ziyarah tours. For most pilgrims, this intensity of experience is enhanced by a deliberate unhurriedness. You will have time to adjust to the climate, combat jet lag, and come clear-minded and oriented to your ritual in a manner befitting this incredible journey.
We suggest our 10-night options as the perfect blend of a real spiritual experience and a manageable amount of time away. These packages are based upon a stay of five nights in Makkah and five nights in Madinah, which is ample time for prayers but not so long that it takes you away from your family or professional commitments.
Accommodation Options Tailored to Your Needs
Our 3-star hotel in these holy cities place you within walking distance or a short ride from the Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi. These accommodations provide basic comforts, modern cleanliness and breakfast to power you through your worshipful days. Many of the British pilgrims also choose this option as it provides an opportunity to stay focused, without opting for “lacklustre” comfort.
For all our 4-star hotels, the standard of quality is even higher offering you the most comfortable and spacious rooms within your destination with extra treats from us including a larger buffet breakfast spread and value-added dining opportunities. Many families choose to stay in these properties, feeling for the extra comfort without luxurious being too much of a distraction from the goals of Hajj.
Our 5-star luxurious stay offers top-notch amenities, concierge service, spa facilities and gourmet dining. These pilgrims tend to enjoy luxury accommodation alongside their sacred journey, although we know the focus for most pilgrims is spiritual fulfilment and not 5* living.
All selections still have the essential factor in common – their distance to Haram. We never sacrifice location for low price. Every home we contract with places you not far from the holy sites, so that you can return to them time and time again for prayer and meditation.
Package Duration: Finding Your Perfect Fit
Seven-Night Packages
Our seven-night itineraries suit pilgrims with time constraints or those performing Umrah for their first time. These packages provide three nights in Makkah and four nights in Madinah, enabling completion of essential rituals with introduction to the holy cities. Working professionals and parents managing school holidays often favour this duration.
Ten-Night Packages
We recommend our ten-night options to most pilgrims. These packages allocate five nights to each holy city, providing genuine spiritual engagement, multiple opportunities for worship at optimal prayer times, and relaxed Ziyarah exploration. The extended timeframe significantly reduces the rushed atmosphere many pilgrims associate with shorter journeys.
Twelve-Night Packages
For pilgrims seeking deeper immersion, our twelve-night itineraries include extended Ziyarah programmes, multiple visits to important Islamic historical sites, and generous free time for personal spiritual reflection. Groups travelling together frequently select this duration.
Fourteen-Night Packages
Our most comprehensive packages extend across two full weeks, providing the ultimate spiritual retreat. These journeys incorporate extended Ziyarah tours, visits to significant Islamic sites including Mount Uhud, Quba Mosque, and Cave Hira, plus ample opportunity for repeated worship at both Harems. Retired pilgrims and those prioritising maximum spiritual benefit often choose this duration.
What Every Package Includes: Transparency and Completeness
We avoid the hidden costs and ambiguous terms that frustrate UK pilgrims. Our all-inclusive packages clearly specify every component of your journey:
Visa Processing: We process your Umrah visa from the document submission up to Saudi Ministry endorsement. Our insight into UK-to-Saudi criteria removes the red tape and frustration.
Return Flights: Direct flights from the UK to Madinah ’s Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport with return also from Jeddah. We bargain hard to get you the very best deals on decent airlines, so you can trust us – unlike sites such as Expedia or AirAsiaGo/Go Holiday where they all too often list the worst possible airlines at prices that make no sense.
Hotel Facilities: Overnight for bed and breakfast at a hotel which we have personally checked. We make sure that each room is comfortable and close to holy places.
Land Services: Airport pickup & Drop off, Daily transportation between Makkah & Madinah and all Ziyarah places. Our buses are up to date with professional drivers accustomed to carrying pilgrims from all over the world.
Ziyarah Tours: Escorted trips to important Islamic historical sites such as Jabal al-Nour (Mountain of Light), Ghar Hira (Cave of Hira), Mount Uhud, and Quba Mosque. At all of these places, our guides include the historical history and spiritual meaning.
Seasonal Timing: Choosing Your Optimal Travel Period
Ramadan Umrah Packages
Performing Umrah during Ramadan multiplies the spiritual rewards substantially. The blessed month creates an atmosphere of heightened devotion throughout the Harems, with pilgrims engaging in intensive worship. Our Ramadan Umrah packages fill rapidly, so early booking ensures availability. March represents Ramadan in 2026, offering moderate temperatures ranging from 23°C to 35°C.
Off-Peak Season Advantages
Pilgrims booking during September through November benefit from significantly reduced crowds, more accessible worship spaces within the Harems, and notably lower accommodation costs. Temperatures remain pleasant during these months, typically between 25°C and 38°C. We frequently recommend off-peak travel to pilgrims prioritising meaningful spiritual experience over seasonal tradition.
Summer Availability
June through August presents budget-conscious options with reduced pricing. However, temperatures escalate significantly—reaching 43°C in July—requiring substantial physical preparation. This season suits younger, physically robust pilgrims prepared for extreme heat.
How to Select Your Ideal Umrah Package
To start, decide when you want to travel and for how long. Think about your professional schedule, family responsibilities and your physical ability to worship in the heat. Record how long your passport remains valid (you must have at least six months from the date they enter) and gather official paperwork for needed vaccinations, especially meningitis for adults.
Review accommodation options honestly. Consider whether luxury comfort, practical accommodation or maximum savings matter most to you. It’s important to think about your objectives: are you trying to get reflective peace, be part of an active community, or learn more with direction?
Be open with our consultants about your budget. We keep our pricing as open and transparent as possible across all our tariffs to help you find the right value for your needs.
Preparation: Essential Steps Before Your Journey
Documentation Requirements
Your passport represents your primary travel document. Ensure it remains valid for the entire duration of your absence. Request required vaccinations from your NHS-registered GP—meningitis vaccination proves essential for Umrah visa approval. Collect recent passport photographs with white backgrounds as specified by Saudi requirements.
Physical Preparation
Umrah involves sustained walking, particularly during Tawaf and Sa’i. Begin a gradual fitness programme three months before departure, incorporating daily walks of increasing duration. Wear appropriate footwear during training to identify shoes that provide comfort during extended walking. Ensure you’ve addressed any existing health conditions with your GP, obtaining clearance for pilgrimage.
Spiritual Preparation
Beyond physical readiness, cultivate mental and spiritual readiness. Engage with Quranic recitation, establish consistent prayer habits, and study the rituals you’ll perform. Many pilgrims find that beginning Sunnah prayers weeks before departure deepens their spiritual connection.

Your relationship with Aqdas Travel continues after your return to the United Kingdom. We provide detailed travel feedback forms, enabling us to refine our services continuously.
