Umrah Package Durations from London
7-Day Umrah Package from London
Our 7-day Umrah package from London is designed for working pilgrims who want a focused, short spiritual journey — typically 3 nights in Makkah and 3 nights in Madinah, with airport transfers and Ziyarat included. Best suited for solo travellers, couples, and returning pilgrims who don't need extended stays.
15-Day Umrah Package from London
The 15-day Umrah package from London is our most popular family option — usually 8 nights in Makkah and 6 nights in Madinah. It gives you a relaxed pace to complete multiple Umrahs, visit historical sites, and pray 40 consecutive salahs at Masjid an-Nabawi (Arbaeen).
21-Day Umrah Package from London
Our 21-day Umrah package from London is ideal for extended spiritual retreats, retired pilgrims, and families with elderly members. Longer stays allow deeper worship, better rest between rituals, and complete Ziyarat coverage in both cities.
Your flight route out of London
London Heathrow (LHR) is your home airport, so the pre-flight leg is short. Check in three hours before departure and there is no overnight positioning to pay for.
The non-stop options are British Airways and Saudia, LHR to Jeddah (JED) in roughly 6h 15m. First-time pilgrims underrate this: a single sector means one Ihram decision, one boarding, one arrival.
When the non-stop sells out or prices above the band below, we also quote EgyptAir via Cairo and Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, which on the same dates can come in materially cheaper.
Return economy fares from LHR to Jeddah typically fall between £405 and £725 per person. The low end shows up when you book 10–14 weeks out on midweek departures; the high end is what late bookers and school-holiday travellers pay.
London departures: how we work locally
Word travels fast between congregations at East London Mosque, Regents Park Mosque and London Central Mosque, and most London bookings reach us that way. A referral-led business cannot survive a hotel that looks nothing like its listing, so we inspect properties ourselves before selling them.
We regularly arrange group departures for households across Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest and Brent, including shared transfers to London Heathrow when several families are on the same flight. Larger parties usually pay less per person, because triple and quad occupancy spreads the biggest single cost in the trip.
You get a named consultant reachable in your own time zone, and support that continues while you are in Makkah rather than ending at payment.
Matching a Makkah hotel to your London budget
Arriving on a non-stop, you can be in your Makkah hotel roughly two hours after landing at Jeddah. That makes an early-hours arrival perfectly workable — and early-hours arrivals are often the cheapest seats out of your airport.
Spending at the upper end of £750–£3,000 buys proximity rather than luxury. The towers beside the Haram are five minutes from a gate; a comparable room a twelve-minute walk away costs a fraction of that, and the difference is usually two or three extra nights.
The properties London pilgrims book most often are Conrad Makkah, Swissotel Al Maqam, Makkah Towers and Anjum Hotel Makkah — each page shows live rates, verified gate-to-lobby walking times and real guest feedback.
Every hotel page shows how long the walk to the nearest gate actually takes, including the crossings and ramps a map ignores.
The real cost of Umrah from London
Pilgrims in London usually see a headline price first and discover the extras later. Here is the arithmetic without the marketing.
A ten-night trip breaks down as £405–£725 in airfare plus £750–£3,000 in land costs per person. The land figure is where your choices actually change the total; the airfare is largely set by the market.
You are effectively buying walking distance. For pilgrims from London travelling with elderly parents that premium is usually justified; for a fit couple staying eleven nights, it rarely is.
What we never do is quote a figure that grows later. Visa fees, transfers, taxes and the Madinah leg all sit inside the number we send. If a quote elsewhere in the UK looks dramatically cheaper, check whether it covers the intercity transfer and how far the "near Haram" hotel actually is — those two omissions explain nearly every price gap.
Visa, vaccination and documents from London
British passport holders can apply for the Saudi eVisa online in minutes — approval usually lands within 24–48 hours and it is valid for one year with multiple entries. No agent stamp is required, so you can book flights before the visa is issued.
Most refusals and airport turnbacks trace to one of three things — passport validity, the ACWY vaccination certificate, or missing consent paperwork for a minor. None of them are hard to fix with four weeks' notice.
We do not charge a separate visa handling fee for travellers from the UK. If your application is refused for a reason outside your control, the land portion of your booking is refundable in full under our Buyer Protection terms.
When London families should travel
February half-term, the Easter break and late July through August are the busiest windows for UK departures, and airfares from your local airport can double in those weeks. October half-term and the January–early February lull are consistently the cheapest.
Because demand in Greater London is so predictable, the calendar matters more than the deal. Locked-in dates reward early booking; open dates reward patience and a willingness to move by a week and a half.
For Ramadan, ignore everything above. Supply near Masjid al-Haram is effectively sold out well in advance, so the only real strategy from London is to decide early and hold your rooms.
Sample 7-night Umrah itinerary from London
This is how a standard 7-night trip from London is usually sequenced — four nights in Makkah, three in Madinah. Your own dates, hotel and transfer choices are confirmed on the quote; treat the days below as a shape, not a fixed schedule.
- Day 1 — Departure: Depart London Heathrow (LHR) on a direct service to Jeddah — roughly 6h 15m in the air. Ihram is normally assumed before boarding or at the last point before the Meeqat, so pack your ihram in hand baggage.
- Day 2 — Arrival and first Umrah: Land at Jeddah (JED), clear biometrics and immigration, then a private transfer to your Makkah hotel. Most pilgrims rest briefly, then perform Tawaf and Sa'i the same evening when the Haram is calmer.
- Day 3 — Makkah: A full day inside the Haram: five prayers in congregation, extra Tawaf, and Zamzam. Hotels within a short walk matter most on this day.
- Day 4 — Makkah and Ziyarat: Optional Makkah Ziyarat covering Jabal al-Nour, Mina, Muzdalifah, Arafat and Jabal al-Rahmah, returning in time for Maghrib at the Haram.
- Day 5 — Makkah to Madinah: Check out after Fajr and travel to Madinah by private vehicle or Haramain high-speed rail, then check in near Masjid an-Nabawi.
- Day 6 — Madinah: Prayers at Masjid an-Nabawi, time in the Riyadh al-Jannah queue system, and optional Ziyarat to Quba, Qiblatain and Uhud.
- Day 7 — Madinah: A slower day for reflection, shopping around the Haram plaza and packing before the return sector.
- Day 8 — Return: Transfer to Madinah (MED) or back to Jeddah for the flight home to London, depending on which return routing your fare allows.
Prefer a shorter or longer trip? We run the same structure over 5, 10 and 14 nights — see the Umrah packages or ask for a custom split between the two cities.
Umrah Preparation Checklist — London Packages
Complete these essential steps before booking your Umrah packages from London:
- Apply for your Umrah visa at least 4 weeks before travel—processing times can vary
- Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date
- Women should pack loose-fitting Abayas in black; men should bring at least two sets of Ihram
- Break in comfortable walking shoes well before departure—new shoes cause blisters
- Register with the NHS app to download your vaccination records if required
- Inform your bank of travel to Saudi Arabia to avoid card blocks
- Download the Makkah Metro app for navigating the expanded Haram complex
- Pack a small daypack for carrying water, snacks, and prayer items during worship
- Bring universal power adapters—Saudi Arabia uses Type G plugs (same as UK)
- Print all confirmations including hotel, flights, and transfers—don't rely solely on digital copies
Expert Tips for London Umrah Packages
Insider advice from our specialists who arrange Umrah packages from London year-round:
- Tip 1: Perform Tawaf on the rooftop level during peak times—it's less crowded and offers stunning views of the Kaaba from above
- Tip 2: The King Fahad Gate is the closest entrance from most hotels in the Abraj Al-Bait complex—memorize its location
- Tip 3: Zamzam water is freely available throughout the Haram; bring a reusable bottle instead of buying plastic ones
- Tip 4: After Fajr prayer, the crowds disperse quickly—this is the best time for calm, focused worship
- Tip 5: The Makkah Metro now connects the Haram to Jamarat and beyond—useful if you're staying in hotels outside the central area
- Tip 6: Exchange currency at the airport for immediate needs, but use ATMs in Makkah for better rates
- Tip 7: Many London families arrange their Madinah visit first, then conclude in Makkah—ending your Umrah at the Kaaba is spiritually significant
- Tip 8: The new Third Saudi Expansion provides more air-conditioned prayer space; it's quieter than the main halls during peak times
