Umrah Packages from Birmingham for Families in the Midlands
The Midlands is a rich field of Islamic life, but for many families in Birmingham an umrah booking with a London agency severely robs sleep and the bank account without any indication of what sort of exchange one should expect from having to go so far. Aqdas Travel is changing that with our range of luxury umrah packages tailor made for the way Midland families travel. Once your family leave Birmingham Airport you will be in the excellent hands of our local team who have coordinated 20,000+ UK pilgrims over nine years. ESMA Pentravel is proud to present you with a spiritual family getaway, without the design of London and all its planning.
The Birmingham Family Umrah Advantage
Local Expertise Meets Spiritual Excellence
Birmingham has one of the country’s largest Muslim communities, but the majority of umrah operators are in London. We are not like them — our team knows Midlands family dynamics, school holiday calendars and workplace cultures. When you book with us, you’re not slotting into a package designed around what London thinks Birmingham families are like and want*; it’s competitively priced to sell by being right for how actual (non-Blairite) Birmingham families actually live and travel. We know what’s effective with Midlands couples, multi-generational families and tight-knit communities after all these years. Our family packages to umrah are tailored according to families.
Quality Over Volume
On purpose we keep our Birmingham groups smaller than other companies, so your family always gets individual attention along the way. “The major tour operators will treat umrah as a conveyer belt; we’ll treat it as if you’re going to visit your family.” Your personal coordinator is with you from the time you first contact us until your safe return home. We don’t have a transactional relationship; we care about your experience because we encounter you in our community often.
Your Umrah Guide: Why Birmingham is Unique
Multi-genologies Midlands Families Require Different Kinds of Support
Birmingham’s families feature elderly parents making the journey for the first time, their children who are little boys and girls on their 1st umrah as well as working age men and women with careers to look out. Such complexities are neglected in the standard umrah packages. We don’t. Our pre-departure briefings explain grandparents’ health frustrations, help children grasp the spiritual meaning and instil working parents with skills for time management. On-the-ground guides get family dynamics — they are trained to provide space for individual spiritual moments while making the larger group a cohesive, supportive unit.
Group Umrah Packages From Birmingham: For Community Travel
Umrah Group Packages For Masjid & Community Organizations
A lot of Birmingham families go in masjid groups. We’ve really got the system down, which is why our tailored group umrah packages work so well.
If you want to take a local masjid group, 30 people, friends from your community — our group umrah packages cover full logistics while maintaining a small-group feel.
We offer:
Group prayers in the Haram
Shared meals according to your dietary preferences
Optional activities that create a sense of camaraderie
Flexible structures that comply with individual spiritual needs
Group leaders and community organizers enjoy the benefits of our clear group pricing and one-on-one dedicated group coordination.
Tailored Service So You Get Value for Money
Pricing Transparency, Quality of Delivered Results
Birmingham families deserve transparency on costs. We itemize all costs up-front — Travel Formalities charges, flights from Birmingham Airport, transfers per person, transport and optional extras. For rivals, the costs may be buried in hard-to-define “package prices.” We don’t. You can see which resources you are paying for, and why. That transparency translates into no surprises in airports, no pressure to upgrade, and none of those mysterious “facility fees” showing up at checkout.
Midlands Working Families Flexible Pay Plans
We know not every family can afford full funds up front. Secure your booking with a 30% deposit and have the flexibility to cancel or change date for free up until 60 days before departure*.
Note: you must select “Partial Payment” to see instalment options.
This is rooted around life in Birmingham: school fees in September, bonus seasons and monthly budgeting. No financial tricks, no secret interest payments — just fair payment plans created for working families.
Your Umrah Guide: Step By Step From Birmingham
Phase 1: Meeting & Intake (Weeks 1–2)
You get in touch with our Birmingham-based practice and book a video consultation. We are specific about understanding your family’s needs:
| Key Question | Why It Matters |
|---|
| Who is traveling? | Ensures suitability for age, health, and group size |
| What’s your spiritual goal? | Aligns the journey with intention |
| Any health considerations? | Allows for proper pacing and support |
| Group-focused or family time? | Shapes the structure of the itinerary |
| Ramadan umrah or ease of booking? | Determines timing and logistics |
Bespoke Proposal (Within 48 Hours)
We provide a bespoke proposal that includes flights from Birmingham Airport, accommodation aligned to your budget, Travel Formalities details, timeline information and a detailed itinerary. This is not a template — it’s based on your family and its unique requirements.
Stage 2: Documenting & Preparing (Weeks 3–6)
We’ll advise you on Travel Formalities regulations based on the experience of thousands of UK applicants. We gather papers, apply, and follow all steps through Saudi officials. Meanwhile, we provide detailed preparation materials:
| Preparation Area | What You Receive |
|---|
| Prayer Times | Structured guidance for daily worship |
| Spiritual Orientation | Understanding rites and meaning |
| Packing Lists | Prepared for varied Saudi weather |
| Travel Insurance Advice | Practical protection guidance |
| Health Preparations | Readiness for all age groups |
First-timers receive extra orientation calls covering what to expect, how to pray, and how to navigate holy sites with ease.
Phase 3: Pre-Departure Preparation (Weeks 7–8)
Two weeks before takeoff, we hold a full group prep session (or individual calls for privacy-loving families). We finalize logistics, confirm plans, answer last-minute questions and build confidence. You receive emergency contact details, flight tracking information and arrival instructions. Families feel prepared — not anxious.
On-the-Ground Experience: The Real Magic Happens Here
Family-Caring Local Guides
Your family is met at Jeddah Airport by our Saudi Arabia team — guides trained in both religious knowledge and family dynamics. They support elderly relatives and young children, know when to keep groups together and when to allow private moments. They can recommend quieter worship spots, safe evening routes and suitable dining options. This is informed, empathetic assistance — not scripted tour guidance.
Structured Spiritual Focus With Flexible Days
We provide a recommended daily structure covering prayer times, Haram access windows and optimal site visits — while remaining flexible. Elderly members may need slower pacing. Children may need afternoon rest. Community groups may prefer evening sessions. Independent travellers may want autonomy. We embrace these differences because umrah spirituality is personal.
Why Families in Birmingham Keep Returning
We regularly hear from families returning for second and third umrahs because they felt supported, engaged and spiritually fulfilled. Parents say their children understood the journey. Elderly relatives felt valued. Community groups felt authentic. These are real Birmingham families who may find cheaper options elsewhere but return because they know what they’ll receive: authentic care, spiritual focus and tailored support.
Your Birmingham umrah experience deserves a provider who knows your city, respects your family and values quality over quantity. We’ve been doing this since 2016, learning what truly works for Midlands families in particular. Ready to make your umrah the way your family really needs it? Call our Birmingham office today and we’ll discuss creating something really special for your family.
