Packages Umrah — UK Pilgrimage Specialists | Package Umrah from the UK from £665 per Person
The name says exactly what we do. Packages Umrah is a Manchester-based Umrah travel agency that specialises in one thing: building complete, transparent, and fairly priced Umrah packages for UK Muslims. We are not a general travel agency that also handles Umrah on the side. We are not a flight comparison website. We are Packages Umrah — a dedicated team based at 7 Huxley Avenue, Manchester M8 0SJ, exclusively serving British Muslim pilgrims on their journey to Makkah and Madinah.
Every package Umrah from UK that we build starts from £665 per person for 7 nights (3 star) — consistently £20 below the market rates charged by comparable UK agencies. Prices are checked against the current UK market every month. Every package includes return flights from your nearest UK airport, Umrah visa processed through the official Saudi government Umrah visa portal, hotel in Makkah and Madinah, and all ground transport throughout Saudi Arabia. We serve UK Muslims from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leicester, Luton, Blackburn, and every UK city — by WhatsApp (+44 7737 144335), phone, and walk-in visits to our Manchester office.

Packages Umrah vs Industry Standard — Feature Comparison
Price alone does not tell the full story when choosing a UK Umrah agency. Here is how Packages Umrah compares on the factors that actually shape your pilgrimage experience:
Feature | Packages Umrah | Industry Standard |
Physical UK Office | Manchester M8 0SJ — walk in | Online only or London only |
Language Service | English + Urdu — every interaction | English primarily |
Quote Speed | Same-day WhatsApp quote | 24–48 hour response typical |
Pricing vs Market | £20 below comparable packages | Standard market pricing |
Visa Processing | Fully handled via official portal | Varies by agency |
Airport Coverage | All major UK airports arranged | Often London-centric |
Agent Continuity | Named agent — quote to return | Call centre rotation common |
In-Trip Support | 24/7 WhatsApp — named agent | Often in-hours only |
Scotland Expertise | Scottish school holiday dates known | Generic UK dates used |
Group Bookings | 5–50+ pilgrims coordinated | Often limited group capacity |
Why UK Muslims Choose Packages Umrah
Thousands of UK Muslims book with Packages Umrah every year. Here is the honest case for why:
A Manchester Office You Can Actually Walk Into
Most UK Umrah agencies operate entirely online or from expensive London offices they rarely staff. Our office at 7 Huxley Avenue, Manchester M8 0SJ is a real, staffed office where you can arrive without an appointment, sit with our team, go through package options in English or Urdu, show your passports, and ask every question you have in person. For many UK Muslim families — particularly those booking Umrah for elderly parents or for a first-time pilgrimage — the ability to meet your agent face-to-face before paying a penny is not a minor convenience. It is the difference between confidence and anxiety.
Prices £20 Below the UK Market — Structural, Not Promotional
Our Manchester base carries lower overhead than UK agencies operating from London or those running large marketing-heavy platforms. We do not have expensive city-centre commercial leases or large sales team salaries to recover through pricing. These structural savings are passed to every customer as consistently lower prices — £20 per person cheaper than comparable packages from UK agencies charging market rate. This saving is not a time-limited discount or a first-booking promotion. It is the consistent result of a leaner operation.
Named Agent from First Message to Return Flight
When you WhatsApp Packages Umrah, you are assigned to a specific agent. That agent builds your quote, processes your documents, tracks your visa, prepares your travel pack, and is your 24/7 WhatsApp contact while you are in Saudi Arabia. If you have a question at 2am in Makkah, you contact a person who knows your booking, your hotel, your flight home, and your family’s composition. This is categorically different from a call centre system where each call connects you to a different member of staff who reads your details from a screen.
Visa Processing Through the Official Saudi Government Portal
Umrah visas for UK Muslims are issued through the Saudi government’s official online visa portal. Every legitimate UK Umrah agency submits through this system. What differs between agencies is how they handle the submission process. At Packages Umrah, we handle the complete submission on your behalf — you provide your documents digitally by WhatsApp, we prepare the application, submit it, and track it to approval. Standard processing is 4–7 working days. We alert you as soon as your visa is approved and confirm all visa details in your travel documentation.
English and Urdu — The Languages of UK Muslim Pilgrims
Our team serves every client in English and Urdu without distinction. For Pakistani, Kashmiri, and Bangladeshi families where older members communicate more comfortably in Urdu, our bilingual service is a practical necessity — not a marketing claim. The finer details of an Umrah booking (hotel proximity specifics, Ihram timing, Ziyarat programme, mobility requirements) need to be understood completely by all travelling family members, not just the youngest who speaks English fluently. Every Packages Umrah interaction is available bilingually at no additional cost or arrangement.
Genuine UK Airport Coverage — Not London-Centric
Many UK Umrah booking platforms advertise ‘UK departures’ but primarily route customers through London Heathrow — adding significant travel time and cost for pilgrims in Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, or Blackburn. We specifically arrange departures from the airport closest to each pilgrim: Manchester Airport for North England and East Lancashire, Birmingham Airport for the West Midlands, Glasgow Airport for Scotland, East Midlands Airport for Leicester and Nottingham, Edinburgh Airport for East Scotland. This is not a token gesture — it is the specific local airport knowledge built over years of serving each regional community.
3 Star Package Umrah from UK — The Most Popular Choice
Our 3 star package Umrah accounts for the majority of UK bookings — and it is easy to understand why. Three star in our packages means clean, well-managed hotels positioned 300–800 metres from Masjid al-Haram in Makkah. In the mild conditions of September, October, January, and November (20–38°C), this is an entirely comfortable walk for all but the most mobility-limited pilgrims. In summer months, the walk requires appropriate heat management — but it is manageable and hundreds of UK families complete it every August.
3 Star 7 Nights Package Umrah — From £665 per Person
Our most popular package and the most competitive 3-star 7-night price available from a UK Umrah agency serving all airports. Seven nights — 4 in Makkah, 3 in Madinah — covers every Umrah ritual (Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i, Halq), the Rawdah visit in Madinah, Masjid Quba, and the core Ziyarat programme. A Thursday or Friday departure from your UK airport returns the following Friday, using approximately 5 days of annual leave for a full week in the holy cities. For UK school holiday bookings — February half-term, Easter, October half-term, Christmas — 7 nights fits cleanly within every standard UK school break.
- From £665 pp | Quad sharing | Off-peak months
- Return flights from your chosen UK airport — airline confirmed at booking
- 4 nights Makkah (300–800m from Haram) + 3 nights Madinah
- Umrah visa via official Saudi government portal | All ground transport
3 Star 10 Nights Package Umrah — From £715 per Person
The upgrade that transforms a pilgrimage from a checklist into a spiritual experience. Ten nights — 6 in Makkah, 4 in Madinah — gives enough time for Tawaf at multiple different hours (Fajr, mid-morning, post-Maghrib, night), complete Madinah Ziyarat at a relaxed pace, and a settled daily prayer rhythm that begins to feel genuinely natural by day four. At only £50 more per person than 7 nights (3 star), the 10-night package is the best value upgrade available in UK Umrah travel. The additional three nights cost less per night than the base package rate — and they change the character of the trip entirely.
- From £715 pp | 6 nights Makkah + 4 nights Madinah
- Most recommended for first-time UK pilgrims and families
- Just £50 more than 7 nights — our best-value upgrade
3 Star 12 Nights Package Umrah — From £699 per Person
Nearly two full weeks in the holy cities — and in specific booking windows, our 12-night package undercuts the 10-night on a per-night basis, making it exceptional value. Twelve nights is the natural format for retired UK Muslims, extended family groups where elderly members travel at a slower pace, and those taking career breaks or extended annual leave. The difference between 10 and 12 nights is not two additional days on a tourist itinerary — it is two additional mornings of Fajr Tawaf with the Kaaba lit in the predawn hours, something UK pilgrims who have experienced it consistently describe as the peak of their entire journey.
- From £699 pp | In specific months — better per-night value than 10 nights
- Ideal for retired UK pilgrims and extended family groups
3 Star 14 Nights Package Umrah — From £785 per Person
Two full weeks between Makkah and Madinah — our 14-night 3-star package Umrah from the UK gives 8 nights in Makkah and 6 in Madinah. By the second week, both cities stop being destinations and start being places of daily life and worship. The Haram’s daily rhythm becomes your rhythm. Madinah’s evening atmosphere — the Nabawi gardens after Isha, the quiet streets between hotel and mosque — becomes familiar rather than foreign. For UK Muslim families whose tradition of Umrah spans generations, the 14-night format is the fullest expression of that tradition: not a trip squeezed into a half-term, but a proper extended pilgrimage.
- From £785 pp | 8 nights Makkah + 6 nights Madinah
- Best matched to UK Christmas school holiday (18 Dec – 5 Jan) and Scottish summer
4 Star and 5 Star Package Umrah — Premium Proximity
4 Star Package Umrah — From £849 (7 Nights)
Our 4-star packages place UK pilgrims 100–400 metres from Masjid al-Haram — close enough that spontaneous Tawaf between any two prayer times is practical rather than planned. In summer months (June–August) when Makkah temperatures reach 40°C+, the saved 400–600 metres of walking versus 3-star accommodation makes a measurable difference to daily comfort. For UK families with children and for elderly pilgrims, 4-star proximity means the pilgrimage focuses on worship rather than managing the logistics of the walk to the Haram. Breakfast is included in most 4-star packages.
▶ 4 Star Package Umrah — Full Guide
5 Star Package Umrah — From £1,075 (7 Nights)
Our 5-star packages are positioned 50–250 metres from the Kaaba — the closest hotel locations available in Makkah. For UK pilgrims performing Umrah during Ramadan’s last 10 nights, for elderly or mobility-limited pilgrims for whom every step matters, and for any British Muslim whose Umrah has been a lifelong aspiration, 5-star proximity is not about luxury — it is about access. Every additional minute available for Tawaf rather than walking is a minute spent at the most sacred location on earth.
▶ 5 Star Package Umrah — Full Guide
What Every Packages Umrah Package Includes
1. Return Flights from Your UK Airport
We arrange return flights from any major UK airport — Manchester, London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London Luton, and others. Airlines are selected based on your travel dates, departure city, and preferences. We advise on the best routing — direct where available, via hub airports where more competitive. Airline name, terminal, check-in time, and flight number are all confirmed in your travel documentation.
2. Umrah Visa — Fully Handled on Your Behalf
We process your Umrah visa through the official Saudi government Umrah visa portal on your behalf. You provide your documents digitally by WhatsApp — we handle preparation, submission, and tracking. Standard processing: 4–7 working days. Required documents: valid UK passport (minimum 6 months from travel date), recent passport photograph, and meningococcal ACWY vaccination certificate. We confirm visa approval and include visa documentation in your travel pack.
3. Hotel in Makkah and Madinah
Every package includes hotel accommodation in both holy cities. 3 star: 300–800m from Masjid al-Haram / Masjid al-Nabawi. 4 star: 100–400m. 5 star: 50–250m from the Haram entrance — the most sought-after hotel locations in Makkah. We confirm the specific hotel name, exact address, and distance from the Haram in your booking documentation before you pay your balance. No vague descriptions — only specific, named hotels with confirmed distances.
4. All Saudi Arabia Ground Transport
Airport transfers (on arrival in Jeddah or Madinah), intercity coach between Makkah and Madinah, and return airport transfers are all included in every Packages Umrah booking. Private vehicle upgrades are available at additional cost — particularly recommended for elderly UK pilgrims and families with young children who benefit from door-to-door hotel transport.
5. Named Agent + 24/7 WhatsApp Support
From first contact to your return flight, you deal with one named agent who knows your complete booking. WhatsApp (+44 7737 144335) is active 24/7 during your Saudi Arabia stay. If anything changes during your trip — flight delays, hotel queries, general support — your agent responds from personal knowledge of your booking, not from a call log.

Q: How much does a 7-night package Umrah cost?
A: A 7-night package Umrah from the UK starts from £665 (3 star), £849 (4 star), and £1,075 (5 star) per person. Peak months — Ramadan, summer, December — carry higher pricing.

A: A 10-night package Umrah from UK starts from £715 (3 star), £949 (4 star), and £1,275 (5 star) per person. This is £50 more than the 7-night 3-star equivalent — our most recommended upgrade.
Q: How much does a 12-night package Umrah cost?
A: A 12-night package Umrah from UK starts from £699 (3 star), £929 (4 star), and £1,350 (5 star) per person. In specific booking windows this can undercut the 10-night on a per-night basis.
Q: How much does a 14-night package Umrah cost?
A: A 14-night package Umrah from UK starts from £785 (3 star), £1,079 (4 star), and £1,575 (5 star) per person. This covers 8 nights Makkah and 6 nights Madinah.
Q: Why is Packages Umrah cheaper than other UK agencies?
A: Our Manchester base carries lower overhead than agencies with London offices or high marketing budgets. These structural savings are passed directly to customers as £20-per-person lower pricing on every comparable package.
Q: Are there hidden fees in Packages Umrah packages?
A: No. Our quoted price is your total price — flights, visa, hotel, and ground transport all included. Every inclusion is stated in writing in your quote document before you pay anything.
Q: Do you offer payment plans for package Umrah?
A: Yes. A £100 per person deposit secures your booking. The balance is due 8 weeks before departure. Monthly payment plans may be arranged for bookings made 4+ months in advance.
Duration Questions
Q: Is 7 nights enough for a complete Umrah?
A: Yes. Seven nights (4 Makkah, 3 Madinah) covers all Umrah rituals and the core Madinah Ziyarat programme. It is our most popular package duration. For a more relaxed experience, 10 nights is recommended.
Q: What is the difference between 7-night and 10-night package Umrah?
A: The extra 3 nights in a 10-night package typically give 2 additional Makkah nights and 1 additional Madinah night (6+4 vs 4+3). Additional Makkah nights allow multiple Tawafs at different hours and a more settled daily routine. Cost difference at 3 star: £50 per person.
Q: Who should choose a 14-night package Umrah?
A: Retired UK Muslims wanting an extended pilgrimage, extended family groups with elderly members, and anyone whose work schedule allows 3 weeks of leave. Also well-suited to UK families using the Christmas school holiday (approximately 18 December to 5 January) or the Scottish summer holiday (mid-June to mid-August).
Q: Can I do 12 nights package Umrah from the UK?
A: Yes. Our 12-night package starts from £699 (3 star). In certain months this undercuts the 10-night per-night rate. Ideal for retired UK pilgrims and extended family groups.
Star Category Questions
Q: What is the difference between 3-star and 4-star package Umrah?
A: Primarily proximity to the Haram. 3 star: 300–800m — manageable walk in mild seasons. 4 star: 100–400m — 5 minutes in any weather. In summer (June–August, 38–47°C), 4-star proximity makes a meaningful practical difference to daily comfort.
Q: How far are 3-star hotels from the Haram in Makkah?
A: Our 3-star Makkah hotels are 300–800 metres from Masjid al-Haram. The specific hotel name and exact distance are confirmed in your booking documentation before you pay your balance.
Q: How far are 5-star hotels from the Haram?
A: Our 5-star hotels are 50–250 metres from the Haram entrance — the closest hotel positions available in Makkah. Stepping outside the hotel, you are effectively at the approach to the Haram.
Q: Is 4-star worth the upgrade over 3-star for package Umrah?
A: For summer travel (June–August), families with young children, and elderly pilgrims — yes, the proximity upgrade is worth it. For mild-season travel (September–November, January) by healthy adults, 3-star is excellent value and the walk is comfortable.
Families, Groups and Elderly
Q: Can I book a family package Umrah from the UK?
A: Yes. We arrange family package Umrah for all party sizes — couples, nuclear families, and extended families of 15+. Children’s fares apply for under-12s. We configure hotel rooms to suit family compositions.
Q: What is the best month for family package Umrah from the UK?
A: August (all UK schools on summer holiday), October half-term (28–35°C, low crowds), and December Christmas holiday (20–28°C, mild) are our most popular family months. Scottish school families also have the advantage of the Scottish summer holiday starting mid-June.
Q: Is package Umrah suitable for elderly pilgrims?
A: Yes. We recommend 4-star minimum for elderly pilgrims for shorter Haram proximity. 5-star is best for those with mobility considerations. September, October, and November (24–38°C, lower crowds) are our top recommendations for elderly UK Muslims.
Q: Can my mosque group book package Umrah through Packages Umrah?
A: Yes. We arrange group package Umrah for mosque communities and extended family parties of 5 to 50+ pilgrims. We coordinate hotel room configurations, group documentation processing, and airport logistics.
Q: Can women travel for package Umrah without a Mahram?
A: Under current Saudi regulations, women aged 18 and over may perform Umrah as part of an organised group without a Mahram. Contact us to confirm current requirements for your specific travel date.
Timing and Seasons
Q: What is the best month for package Umrah from the UK?
A: September, October, January, and November offer the best combination of mild weather (20–38°C), low Haram crowds, and lowest pricing. Ramadan (March 2026) carries the highest spiritual significance — the Prophet (SAW) said Umrah in Ramadan carries the reward of Hajj.
Q: What is Ramadan package Umrah like?
A: Ramadan 2026 falls in March. The Haram atmosphere during Ramadan — particularly during the last 10 nights — is unlike any other time of year. Tarawih prayers fill the Haram with hundreds of thousands of worshippers. Prices are higher (from £879, 3 star) and booking must be made by December 2025 at the latest.
Q: Is August a good month for package Umrah from UK?
A: August suits UK families who need school holidays. Makkah temperatures reach 41–47°C — manageable with outdoor Tawaf timed to Fajr and night hours and indoor Haram use during the day. We provide specific August heat management guidance in every travel pack.
Q: What is the cheapest month for package Umrah?
A: January and November — both from £665 per person (3 star, 7 nights). Mild temperatures, lowest prices, and the quietest Haram conditions of the year.
Q: Which season is best for elderly UK Muslims doing package Umrah?
A: October and November — mild temperatures (24–35°C), significantly lower crowd levels than summer, and the quietest Haram of the year. Both are off-peak priced at £665 (3 star, 7 nights).
Airports and Flights
Q: Which UK airports do Packages Umrah use?
A: Manchester, London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London Luton, and other major UK airports. Your departure airport is agreed and confirmed at booking.
Q: Is there a direct flight for package Umrah from Manchester?
A: Yes. Direct Jeddah flights from Manchester Airport operate on Saudi Arabia’s national carrier throughout the year. Seasonal direct Madinah flights from Manchester are also available. We confirm airline, terminal, and flight times at booking.
Q: Can Blackburn, Preston, and Burnley Muslims depart from Manchester Airport?
A: Yes. Manchester Airport is approximately 40–65 minutes from all East Lancashire communities via the M65 motorway. We serve the entire East Lancashire Muslim community with Manchester Airport departures.
Q: Can I choose my preferred airline?
A: Yes. We discuss airline preferences at the quote stage. Saudi national carrier, Gulf carriers, and European connecting carriers are all available depending on your departure airport and travel dates.

Q: What documents do I need for package Umrah from the UK?

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is Umrah and who can perform it?
Umrah is a voluntary Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year. It is open to all Muslims worldwide, regardless of age or gender, provided women under 45 are accompanied by a Mahram.
Q2. What is the difference between Umrah and Hajj?
Hajj is the compulsory annual pilgrimage performed during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Umrah is a voluntary pilgrimage that can be performed throughout the year and is often referred to as the “lesser pilgrimage.”
Q3. How long does Umrah take to perform?
The actual rituals of Umrah — Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i, and Halq or Taqsir — can be completed in a few hours. However, most pilgrims spend 7 to 14 days in Saudi Arabia to maximise their time in worship at the Haram.
Q4. When is the best time to perform Umrah?
Umrah can be performed throughout the year. However, Ramadan is considered the most spiritually rewarding time, as performing Umrah during this month holds the reward equivalent to Hajj. January to March also offer cooler temperatures and a peaceful atmosphere.
Q5. What is included in your Umrah packages?
Our Umrah packages typically include return flights from the UK, hotel accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah, airport transfers, Umrah visa processing, and 24/7 customer support. Full details are listed on each individual package page.
