Plan Your Umrah Journey from the UK With Complete Travel Support

Umrah can be performed at any time of year outside the Hajj period. Many Muslims, especially in the UK, choose to perform it more than once in a lifetime as a way of renewing their faith and seeking forgiveness.

It is usually performed in Saudi Arabia in Makkah as the birthplace of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the site of the Holy Kaaba, and Madinah as the city where he lived much of his later life and where he is buried. For UK Muslims wanting to experience this for themselves, the only real decision left is when to go as we're here to help you plan that journey properly.

At Hajj Umrah Travel Agency, we’ve been arranging Umrah for British pilgrims since 2016, and more than 10,000 pilgrims have travelled with us in that time. That's why we handle all the paperwork and focus on booking modern facilities in our carefully planned Umrah packages.

In our Umrah packages you can simply benefit from return flights, visa, comfortable accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, and transport between the two holy cities. From the moment you contact us until you return home, our team will manage everything so you can enjoy a peaceful journey to the holy places.

Hotels and Accommodation in Makkah & Madinah

Staying in a safe, clean place is part of every pilgrim's journey in Saudi Arabia. After a long day of performing Umrah and attending prayers, having a comfortable place to rest can make your stay much easier. We don't just pick hotels from a list as we do conduct proper research to guide you.

Hotels Near Masjid al-Haram in Makkah

In Makkah, our accommodation options range from economy, standard, and luxury hotels, including Elaf Kinda, Hilton Suites Makkah, Le Meridien Towers, Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower and Swissôtel Makkah. Depending on your selected package, these hotels are generally located within a 5 to 15-minute walk of Masjid al-Haram, while some economy hotels are just a short shuttle ride away. Selected rooms also offer stunning direct views of the Holy Kaaba, making your Umrah journey even more memorable.

Hotels Near Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah

In Madinah, we offer economy, standard, and luxury accommodation close to Masjid an-Nabawi, including Dar Al Taqwa, Dar Al Iman, and other carefully selected hotels located just a few minutes from the mosque gates, allowing you to reach your prayers with ease.

Our team has stayed in or personally inspected every hotel we offer. So when we tell you how far it is to walk or what the room is actually like.

Choose the Best Month for Your Umrah from the UK

Umrah can be performed any time of year outside the Hajj period. However, September through November are usually the best months. You can get our monthly September Umrah packages, October Umrah packages, and November Umrah packages.

Prices are more reasonable in these months as the Haram is noticeably less crowded. Plus the weather is kinder for walking and standing in prayer for long stretches. January and February are similarly calm with the bonus of cooler temperatures. So you can book our January Umrah packages and February Umrah packages.

Families travelling in March and April should make reservations a little earlier than usual to avoid missing out on quality hotels. If your March or April travel dates coincide with the UK Easter school holidays, booking earlier can give you more choice of flights and hotels. Our team will continue to guide what is right for you.

Ramadan itself is a different experience altogether. It's the most meaningful time many Muslims choose to travel but it's also when hotels near the Haram sell out fastest and prices sit at their highest all year. If this is when you want to go then make sure to book well ahead 4 to 6 months with us.

Saudi Arabia’s temperatures regularly climb into the low-to-mid 40s°C. So it's worth thinking carefully about if you're travelling with young children or elderly parents. Our team can actually help you as we understand this main concern in choosing the right months.

Plus the December and UK winter school holidays, a popular window for families, which means it's worth locking in your dates early rather than leaving it to the last minute.

Tips for Getting the Best Value on Your Cheap Umrah Package

With 10+ years of experience helping Muslims across the UK, we understand the needs of UK pilgrims. Your travel dates, booking time, hotel category and room occupancy can all affect the cost of an Umrah package from the UK. Here are some practical ways to get better value from your budget:
  • Travel During Off-Peak Periods: Package prices can be higher during Ramadan and UK school holidays due to increased demand. Travelling during selected off-peak periods may give you more choice of flights and hotels at competitive prices.
  • Book Your Umrah Package Early: You can book ahead rather than at the last minute. Flights and hotel rooms near the Haram get more expensive as they fill up. This needs to be understood by all UK pilgrims beforehand. Booking two to three months in advance for off-peak travel, or four to six months ahead for Ramadan, can generally result in a significantly lower price.
  • Choose an Economy Hotel: An economy-level hotel option is better if you can manage with limited facilities. For example a 3-star hotel with a short walk to the Haram is manageable.
  • Travel as a Family or Group: A better option is to travel as a family or group. To cater for this need, we offer Umrah packages for couples, groups, and families. So, in this way the per-person costs usually fall when rooms are shared.
You can follow any of the above tips which suit you better. And after that, simply connect with one of our team, and we will handle everything for you.

Latest Umrah Travel Requirements for UK Pilgrims in 2026

The current Umrah season has brought some of the biggest rule changes in recent years, and it's worth knowing about them before you book.

Check the Validity of Your Umrah Visa: Visa validity depends on the type of visa issued. Saudi Arabia introduced a multiple-entry Umrah visa in July 2026 that can be valid for up to 365 days, with a cumulative stay of up to 90 days, subject to applicable conditions. Always check the validity and permitted stay shown on your own visa before travelling.
Provide Your Travel and Accommodation Details: The official Umrah visa application process requires applicants to enter relevant travel and accommodation information. Umrah packages and related services can also be booked through approved providers on the Nusuk Umrah platform.
Obtain Your Umrah Permit Through Nusuk: An official Umrah permit must be obtained through the Nusuk app before performing Umrah. Rawdah visits in Madinah also have their own appointment/permit process through Nusuk. Our team can guide you on the applicable requirements before departure.
Check Which Visa Route Applies to You: Saudi Arabia provides different routes for eligible international pilgrims, including the Nusuk Umrah Platform, Saudi Visa Platform and authorised external agents. The appropriate route depends on your nationality, eligibility and type of travel.
Be Aware of Hajj-Season Restrictions: Umrah permits and access to Makkah can be restricted around the Hajj season. For the 2026 Hajj season, Saudi authorities suspended Umrah permits and imposed specific Makkah access restrictions during the designated Hajj period. Pilgrims travelling close to Hajj should therefore check the latest official requirements before booking.

We help ensure that you receive the best Umrah packages and the best travel arrangements. After all, we are committed to serving our Muslim brothers and sisters across the UK with care and dedication.

Documents Required for Umrah from the UK

  • Valid Passport: A passport valid for at least six months beyond your travel date.
  • Passport-Style Photograph: A recent passport-style photograph that meets the applicable requirements.
  • MenACWY Vaccination Certificate: Proof of the required meningococcal ACWY vaccination.
  • Travel & Hotel Details: Confirmed travel dates and accommodation details required for your booking or visa process.
The available visa application route depends on your nationality and visa type. Our team can guide you through the appropriate process and help with the documentation required for your booking. We submit and track the whole process, so there's no paperwork left for you to chase close to departure.

How to Choose a Trusted Umrah Travel Agency in the UK

Unfortunately, Umrah scams have become more common in recent years. Before paying a deposit to any travel agency, it's worth taking a few minutes to check that they're genuine.
  • Check the ATOL Number: Visit the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) website and make sure the agency's ATOL number matches the company name.
  • Ask for Your ATOL Certificate: A genuine travel agency will provide this after your booking is confirmed. Check that your flights, hotels, and transfers are all included, as only the services listed on the certificate are protected.
  • Choose a Registered UK Travel Agency: Be careful if an agency only communicates through WhatsApp or social media and doesn't have a registered business address or company details you can verify.
  • Be Wary of Prices that Seem Too Cheap: If one package is much lower than everyone else's, ask what's included. A low price often means important services have been left out.
  • Use a Secure Payment Method: Always pay by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer to the company's business account. Avoid sending cash or making payments to a personal account.
At Hajj Umrah Travel Agency, we believe you should always check who you're booking with. We are a registered UK travel company, and our Umrah packages are ATOL protected. Our office is based in the UK, and we've been helping UK pilgrims perform Umrah since 2016. You're always welcome to verify our details before booking, and if you have any questions, our team will be happy to answer them.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover our carefully crafted Umrah packages designed to provide spiritual comfort and luxury at affordable prices.

Around two to three months ahead for off-peak travel, and four to six months ahead if you're travelling during Ramadan or UK school holidays, when hotels near the Haram sell out early.

What is the cheapest time to book Umrah from the UK?

Broadly, September through November and January to February tend to be the most affordable and least crowded months, since they fall outside Ramadan and UK school holidays. Ramadan and December are the most expensive, as demand for hotels near the Haram is at its highest.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, we offer instalment options so you can spread the cost of your package after your initial deposit.

How much does an Umrah package from the UK cost?

The cost of an Umrah package from the UK depends on your travel dates, hotel category, departure airport, and the length of your stay.

Contact us today for a free, no-obligation quote based on your travel plans.

How many nights should I book?

Seven nights is our most popular package and is enough for a focused trip, usually split between Makkah and Madinah. Longer stays are available if you’d prefer a more relaxed pace or extra time for Ziyarat.

What happens after I book?

We confirm your hotels, submit your visa application, help you register on Nusuk, and send your full itinerary a few weeks before you fly. Our team stays reachable by phone and WhatsApp throughout your trip.

Can I cancel or change my Umrah package after booking?

Cancellation and amendment policies depend on your airline, hotel and how close to departure you are, so terms can vary. Speak to our team as soon as you know your plans might change and we'll talk you through the options.

Can I extend my trip or combine Umrah with other travel in Saudi Arabia?

Yes, many pilgrims choose to add extra nights or visit other Saudi cities before or after their Umrah. Let us know if you'd like to extend your stay.

Do I need travel insurance for Umrah?

Saudi Arabia provides only basic medical care to visitors, so comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended alongside your package, particularly if you're travelling with elderly relatives or young children.

Can children perform Umrah, and is there an age limit?

There's no strict age limit, and many families bring children of all ages. That said, very young children may find the walking and crowds tiring, so it's worth discussing your family's needs with us so we can recommend hotels and a schedule that work well for you.

Can I perform Umrah alone, or do I need to travel with a mahram?

Solo Umrah is possible and we arrange packages for individual travellers regularly. For women, current Saudi rules generally allow travel without a mahram in many cases, but requirements can change, so it's worth confirming your specific situation with our team before booking, especially if you're travelling alone for the first time.

Is my money protected if I book with you?

Yes. All our bookings are ATOL protected, meaning your payment is financially safeguarded under UK law.

Do I need a Nusuk permit as well as a visa?

Yes. Your visa lets you enter Saudi Arabia; the Nusuk permit lets you perform the rituals, including Tawaf and a Rawdah visit in Madinah. We arrange your visa and register your Nusuk permit for you.
