Umrah Packages
from Ilford
2026

Ilford is unusual, because both work properly. Ilford station sits on the Elizabeth line, which runs direct into every Heathrow terminal with no changes at all, and the same line reaches Liverpool Street for the Stansted Express in around fifteen minutes. Heathrow gives you Saudia direct to Jeddah and Madinah. Stansted gives you Turkish Airlines through Istanbul, which often prices lower outside peak season. We quote both, show you the comparison, and let you decide.

Airlines price their seats independently, so Heathrow and Stansted rarely move together. Most agencies simply quote whichever airport they habitually use, which means you never find out what the alternative cost. From Ilford you have genuine access to both. We check Saudia from Heathrow and Turkish from Stansted before giving you a figure. On some dates they land close together. On others the gap is well worth having, particularly across a group of eight or ten.

Yes, roughly fifteen minutes away at 665 Romford Road, London E12 5AD. It's a straight run west along the A118, the same road that becomes Ilford Hill at your end. No appointment needed. Walk in between 9am and 7pm Monday to Saturday and someone will sit down with you, go through hotels and dates properly, and print the numbers so you can take them home and discuss them with your family before deciding anything.

Packages start at £765 per person for 7 nights, £815 for 10 nights and £995 for 14 nights. That covers return flights, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, Nusuk permit processing, every transfer in Saudi Arabia and guided Ziyarah. Deposits start from £99. Because Ilford can reach two airports easily, we price both routings before quoting, which sometimes moves the final figure in your favour.

Regularly, and it makes up a substantial part of our year. Group bookings for masjid parties, extended families and community groups across Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes and Barkingside come through us throughout the season. A group leader can meet us on Romford Road to agree dates, hotel tiers and staged payments before anyone commits a penny. Start Ramadan planning in autumn rather than spring, because the hotels closest to the Haram are contracted a long way ahead.

Yes, from document collection through to approval. We check passport validity, photograph specifications against Saudi requirements and your MenACWY vaccination certificate before anything is submitted, because those three things cause almost every delay we see. You don't complete the Nusuk application yourself. Bring your documents to the office or send them across and we take it from there.

Yes. A great many pilgrims across Redbridge hold a Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian or Afghan passport alongside UK residence, and we process those bookings routinely. Processing times and the document set differ from British passport applications. Tell us your passport type in the first conversation and the correct timeline gets built into your dates, rather than a problem surfacing a fortnight before you fly.

Yes. Every flight inclusive package we sell is covered under ATOL licence 12834, and your certificate is issued the moment your deposit is paid. You can verify that number yourself on the Civil Aviation Authority register in under a minute, and we would encourage you to do exactly that. Never pay any agent, however well known they are on Ilford Lane or anywhere else, without seeing a valid licence number first.
