How long is the flight from London Heathrow to Jeddah?

The direct flight from London Heathrow to Jeddah takes approximately six to seven hours. On arrival at King Abdulaziz International Airport, our ground team or transfer driver will meet you and take you directly to your hotel in Makkah — typically a further hour's drive from the airport.

Are your Umrah packages from Heathrow all-inclusive?

Yes. Every package we offer departing from London Heathrow is fully all-inclusive. This covers your return flights, Umrah visa processing, hotel accommodation near the Haram in both Makkah and Madinah, all transfers between airports, hotels, and cities, and a dedicated group leader. There are no hidden additions after you book.

Can I get a direct flight for Umrah from Heathrow?

Yes. Direct flights from London Heathrow to Jeddah are available year-round from multiple carriers.

Do I need to travel to a different airport for Umrah from London?

No. London Heathrow is one of the best-connected departure points in the UK for Umrah. It offers direct and one-stop flights to Jeddah year-round with multiple airline options.

What is the best time to perform Umrah from London?

October through to February is generally the most comfortable period for UK pilgrims.

Departing from Heathrow

The Closest Major Airport
to the Holy Cities

London Heathrow is the most frequently served UK departure point for flights to Jeddah, giving pilgrims from London and the surrounding areas a direct, convenient route to King Abdulaziz International Airport. From there, it is roughly an hour's drive to Makkah.

For Muslims living in London, South East England, or anywhere within comfortable reach of the M25, Heathrow is usually the most practical starting point for Umrah from the UK. Direct flights run year-round from Terminal 2, 3, and 4 depending on the carrier, and journey times of six to seven hours mean you arrive in Saudi Arabia without the disruption of a long layover.

Our packages from London Heathrow are fully all-inclusive — return flights, hotel accommodation near the Haram, visa processing, all transfers in Saudi Arabia, and a dedicated group leader from your departure gate to your return. Everything is in place before you travel.

Why Heathrow Works

Everything That Makes
Heathrow the Right Choice

From flight availability to airport facilities, here is why London Heathrow is the preferred starting point for Umrah from the capital.

Direct Flights to Jeddah Year-Round

London Heathrow operates direct non-stop flights to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah throughout the year. Saudia and British Airways are among the carriers serving this route, with multiple weekly departures giving excellent flexibility on travel dates. A direct six to seven hour flight means you arrive in Saudi Arabia rested and without the disruption of a transit layover in another city. For elderly pilgrims, families with young children, and anyone doing their first Umrah, this makes a genuine difference to how the trip begins.

The Most Accessible Airport for London Pilgrims

Heathrow sits in West London and is served by the Elizabeth Line, the Piccadilly tube line, the Heathrow Express from Paddington, and major motorway connections via the M4 and M25. For Muslims living across Greater London — from East Ham and Ilford in the east to Southall and Hayes in the west, and from Tooting and Mitcham in the south to Wembley and Harrow in the north — Heathrow is usually the most accessible and least stressful departure point for an international journey.

Full Meet and Assist at Departure and Arrival

Our group leader meets every pilgrim at the Heathrow check-in area before departure. You do not need to navigate the airport alone or figure out which desk to queue at. We handle luggage check-in assistance, guide the group through security and to the gate, and brief everyone on what to expect during the flight and on arrival in Jeddah. At the other end, a transfer vehicle and local support meet the group at arrivals and take everyone directly to the hotel in Makkah.

Departures at Key Times of Year

Our Heathrow departure schedule includes groups throughout the year, with specific departures timed around popular travel windows — Easter, summer, Christmas, and the school half-term holidays. Ramadan Umrah packages from Heathrow are among our most heavily booked departures each year. We also run monthly departures for pilgrims who want more flexibility on timing. If you have a specific date in mind, enquire with us and we will confirm the nearest available Heathrow departure.

We have dedicated Heathrow departures during the Easter break — browse our Easter Umrah packages for available dates. For the full range of monthly departure options from Heathrow, visit our monthly Umrah packages page and filter by your preferred travel window.

Before You Travel

Practical Guidance for
Heathrow Departures

A few things worth knowing before you travel for Umrah from London Heathrow — so that departure day runs as smoothly as it possibly can.

Arriving at Heathrow on Departure Day

We recommend arriving at Heathrow at least three hours before your scheduled departure time. Saudi-bound flights typically check in from Terminal 2 or Terminal 4 depending on your carrier — we will confirm the exact terminal when we send your travel documents. Your group leader will be at the check-in area to meet you, help with baggage, and guide the group through security. You do not need to navigate the airport alone.

Passport, Visa and Vaccination Documents

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your return date. Saudi Arabia strictly enforces this and an expired or short-validity passport will result in a refused visa. We handle your Umrah eVisa application as part of every package — you just need to provide a copy of your passport, two photos, and your meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate. All travel documents are sent to you digitally in advance of your departure date.

What to Pack for the Journey

Heathrow is a large, busy airport and the check-in and security process can take time. Wear comfortable clothing for the flight — you will be in the air for six to seven hours. Have your travel documents, vaccination certificate, and Saudi arrival forms easily accessible in hand luggage. Men travelling with their Ihram garments should pack them at the top of their bag as you will need them before you cross the Miqat. For everything else, we include a full packing guide in our pre-departure briefing.

Arriving in Jeddah — What Happens Next

On arrival at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, your group will be met by a local representative or your group leader and directed to your transfer vehicle. The drive from Jeddah airport to Makkah is approximately one hour depending on traffic. You will arrive at your hotel, check in, and the group leader will brief everyone on the next steps — including the Miqat intention for Ihram if you have not already made it on the aircraft. The holy city awaits.

Want a VIP Experience from Heathrow?

Our VIP luxury Umrah packages include business class seats, private chauffeur transfers from your home or hotel to Heathrow, fast-track airport assistance, and premium hotels within steps of the Haram.

Considering Hajj from London?

We also arrange Hajj packages from the UK with Heathrow departures. If you are thinking about performing Hajj, speak to our team and we will explain the options, the process, and the timelines for securing a place.

From Our London Pilgrims

What London Pilgrims Said
After They Returned

Our group leader met us at Heathrow check-in and from that moment everything was taken care of. We did not have to think about a single thing. The hotel in Makkah was genuinely a few minutes from the Haram. I had been planning to do Umrah for years and I am so glad I finally went. It was everything I hoped for and more.

Sana M.

London — Heathrow Departure

I live in East Ham and Heathrow is an easy Tube ride for me. The fact that the flight was direct meant we landed in Jeddah without any of the exhaustion that comes from a stopover. Seven hours, arrived, transferred, at the hotel by evening. The whole thing was seamless. I will be going back next year, Inshallah.

Rashid A.

East London — Heathrow Departure

I booked the 10-night package with my mother during Ramadan. Heathrow to Jeddah, straight to the hotel, five-minute walk to the Haram. Praying Taraweeh in Makkah during Ramadan is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Aqdas Travel handled everything. I cannot recommend them enough.

Questions About Umrah
from London Heathrow

Everything you need to know about departing for Umrah from London Heathrow — answered honestly below.

Which airlines fly direct from London Heathrow to Jeddah?

Several major carriers operate direct flights from Heathrow to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, including Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) and British Airways. Flight times are approximately six to seven hours non-stop. We book the most suitable option for your package based on your chosen travel dates — direct routing is always our preference to minimise travel fatigue, particularly for elderly pilgrims and families.

How long is the flight from Heathrow to Jeddah?

A direct flight from London Heathrow to Jeddah takes approximately six to seven hours. On arrival at King Abdulaziz International Airport, our ground transfer or group leader will meet you at the arrivals hall and take you directly to your hotel in Makkah — a further hour's drive from the airport. Total door-to-hotel journey time from Heathrow is typically around nine to ten hours depending on flight timing and immigration queues.

Are your Heathrow Umrah packages fully all-inclusive?

Yes. Every package departing from Heathrow is fully all-inclusive. This covers return flights, hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, Umrah visa processing, all ground transfers in Saudi Arabia — airport to hotel, Makkah to Madinah, Ziyarah transport, and return to Jeddah airport — and a dedicated group leader from your check-in at Heathrow to your arrival back in London. The price you are quoted before you book covers everything.

Which terminal at Heathrow do I depart from?

Can I book a Ramadan Umrah from London Heathrow?

Yes, and our Heathrow Ramadan departures are among the most popular groups we run each year. Performing Umrah during Ramadan — particularly the last ten nights — is an experience that many pilgrims describe as the spiritual highlight of their lives. However, availability for Ramadan Heathrow departures fills up significantly faster than at other times of year. If you are considering a Ramadan Umrah from London, we strongly recommend enquiring as early as possible. Visit our dedicated Ramadan Umrah packages page for current availability.

What is the best time of year to perform Umrah from London?

October through to February offers the most comfortable temperatures in Makkah for UK pilgrims — ranging from around 20 to 35 degrees Celsius, significantly cooler than the summer months. Heathrow also tends to have better flight availability during this period, which can keep overall package costs lower. For pilgrims who want a quieter, more focused experience, November and January are particularly good months to travel. Ramadan is the most spiritually intense period but also the busiest and most expensive.

Are Umrah packages from Heathrow ATOL protected?
