Our 7-day Umrah package from Newcastle 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.

The 15-day Umrah package from Newcastle 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).

Our 21-day Umrah package from Newcastle 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.
Newcastle to Jeddah: routes, carriers and fares
Your departure point is Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD), roughly 2 hours by road from central Newcastle. Allow four hours door-to-gate on an international check-in and you will never be the family running through the terminal.
Expect one stop. Singapore Airlines via Singapore, Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur and Emirates via Dubai serve Newcastle pilgrims best, and choosing between them is mostly about whether you would rather have a short layover or a cheaper fare.
Because you are connecting anyway, arriving into Madinah first costs little or nothing extra from Newcastle and lets you start with the Prophet's Mosque before moving down to Makkah.
The realistic window is A$1,215–A$2,035 per person return from SYD. We do not mark up flights, so the number we show you is the number the airline is charging on that day.
Choosing your dates from Newcastle
Australian departures spike over the December–January summer holidays, the April school break and the September/October term break. February–March and late October–November are the cheapest and least crowded times to travel from Australia.
If you can choose when to go, choose the shoulder weeks. Pilgrims from New South Wales who avoid the obvious school and holiday windows consistently pay less for a better-located hotel.
Ramadan is its own category. The last ten nights are the most sought-after nights of the year at Masjid al-Haram, hotel rates run several times normal, and Haram-area inventory is committed months ahead. If you want Ramadan from Newcastle, start five to six months out.
Newcastle departures: how we work locally
Much of our Newcastle business arrives through the community around Newcastle Mosque — one family travels, returns, and tells the next. That only works if the trip matches what was promised, which is why every Makkah hotel we sell has been walked by our own team rather than bought from a wholesaler's photo library.
If several families in Mayfield and Hamilton are going in the same window, book as one group. You get a shared coach to Sydney Kingsford Smith, rooms on the same floor, and a lower per-head price through triple and quad occupancy.
Questions from Newcastle get answered the same day, and the number you booked through is the number that still works when you are standing in the hotel lobby in Makkah.
Best Makkah hotels for Newcastle pilgrims
Connecting arrivals need flexible ground handling, so your Jeddah transfer is tied to your flight number rather than a clock time — delays are absorbed by us, not by you.
At the top of your A$1,200–A$4,500 range you are buying steps, not stars: properties in and beside the Abraj Al-Bait complex put you at a Haram gate in under five minutes, which matters most for elderly parents and for the last ten nights of Ramadan. Mid-range, a four-star eight to twelve minutes out delivers the same room quality for materially less.
The properties Newcastle pilgrims book most often are Swissotel Al Maqam, Makkah Towers, Anjum Hotel Makkah and Fairmont Clock Royal Tower — each page shows live rates, verified gate-to-lobby walking times and real guest feedback.
We quote gate-to-lobby walking times measured on foot, not map distances. That single honesty check removes most of the disappointment first-time pilgrims report.
Umrah cost from Newcastle: airfare vs land package
Before anything else, understand that an "Umrah package price" from Newcastle may or may not include the flight. Ours states plainly which it is.
Flights account for A$1,215–A$2,035 per person. Everything on the ground — both hotels, all transfers, the Makkah–Madinah leg and Ziyarat — comes to A$1,200–A$4,500 per person across a ten-night itinerary.
Hotel distance is the single biggest lever. A room inside the Haram courtyard can cost three to four times a clean four-star property twelve minutes' walk away, and for many Newcastle families the walk is the better trade — the saving funds two extra nights.
We quote once and hold it. If you see a materially lower price advertised in Australia, send it to us — nine times out of ten we can show you exactly which inclusion has been removed to reach that number.
Entry requirements for pilgrims from Newcastle
Australian passport holders are eligible for the Saudi eVisa, approved online within 24–72 hours and valid for one year with multiple entries. Mandatory travel insurance is bundled into the eVisa fee at the point of application.
The paperwork that actually causes problems is mundane: expiring passports, the meningitis certificate, and consent documentation for children travelling with only one parent. Send us scans early and we will flag anything short.
Newcastle pilgrims pay nothing extra for visa support, and our Buyer Protection covers a full refund of land costs on a refusal that is not your doing.
Sample 7-night Umrah itinerary from Newcastle
This is how a standard 7-night trip from Newcastle 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 Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD) with one stop en route to Jeddah. 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 Newcastle, 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.
