Umrah · Saudi Arabia
7 Night Umrah Package
Three nights in Madinah and four in Makkah. The standard short Umrah — enough to perform the rites without rushing, and the easiest to fit around work.
Three nights in Madinah and four in Makkah. The standard short Umrah — enough to perform the rites without rushing, and the easiest to fit around work.
It gives you a full day either side of the rites, and nothing spare.
Three nights in Madinah covers the Rawdah permit and the main ziyarat sites. Four in Makkah gives you the Umrah itself plus two or three unhurried days at the Haram. What it doesn't give you is slack — a delayed flight or a Rawdah slot on an awkward day eats into it. If your dates are flexible, ten nights costs proportionally less per night and takes the pressure off.
7 nights, Madinah first, with the Haramain train between the cities.
1Most itineraries begin here. Calmer than Makkah, and a gentler start after the flight.
Where you stay: Hotel distance to Masjid an-Nabawi stated in metres on your quote.
Getting there: About 6h 30m direct to Madinah (MED). Airport is close to the Haram.
2Ihram is entered at the miqat on the way. The rites themselves are performed here.
Where you stay: Distance to Masjid al-Haram stated in metres — the main variable in the price.
Getting there: Haramain high-speed train from Madinah, about 2h 30m.
Everything below is quoted up front. Nothing appears after you've paid a deposit.
Guide prices per person, two sharing, outside school holidays. The hotel standard is the biggest single variable.
| Standard | What that means | Guide price pp |
|---|---|---|
| 3-star | Comfortable hotels, typically 500–800m from each Haram, shuttle available | £749 |
| 4-star | Under 300m from both Harams, walking distance to every prayer | £1,149 |
| 5-star | Closest available, often within or adjoining the Haram complex | £1,649 |
The tier here is almost entirely about walking distance. A 3-star at 700m and a 5-star at 100m are the same flights, the same visa and the same train — what changes is the walk to five daily prayers, which matters most for elderly pilgrims and young children. We state the metres on every quote so you're choosing, not guessing.
For comparison, UK agents currently advertise 3-star Umrah from around £550–£1,200 per person, 4-star around £1,200–£1,650, and 5-star from about £1,650 up to £2,500. The very low figures usually mean quad-sharing and a shuttle from 1km-plus out. Ours are guide prices for twin-sharing at the distances stated.
Any month except the days of Hajj. Ramadan costs far more.
October to March is the most comfortable and the best value. Ramadan — especially the last ten nights — is the most sought-after time of the year and priced accordingly, with hotels near the Haram booking out many months ahead. Summer in Makkah regularly exceeds 45°C, which is demanding during tawaf and sa'i and worth weighing carefully for elderly pilgrims.
We'll quote with the distance to each Haram in metres, confirm the current visa route, and write the payment plan out in full.
It's calmer, it's a gentler start after the flight, and you enter ihram at the miqat on the way to Makkah. Some itineraries reverse it — tell us if you'd prefer that.
We state it in metres on the quote for both cities, and whether it's walking or a shuttle. That figure is the main thing separating the tiers.
Yes, in all tiers. It's about two and a half hours and considerably more comfortable than the coach.
A meningitis ACWY certificate is required for entry. Arrange it with your GP or a travel clinic well before you travel.
Similar shapes, and the ones people most often weigh up alongside it.
Same approach, different shape. All reshapeable around your dates.
