Umrah Packages From Slough 2027

Umrah packages from Slough in 2027 start at £665 per person for 7 nights in a 3 star hotel, including return flights from Heathrow, Umrah visa, hotels in Makkah and Madinah and all transfers. Any 2027 departure can be held with a £99 deposit.

Slough is seven miles from Heathrow and home to one of the largest Muslim communities per head of population anywhere in Britain. Those two facts together mean this town sends more pilgrims to Makkah, relative to its size, than almost anywhere else in the country. Families in Chalvey, Manor Park, Cippenham, Langley, Upton, Wexham and Britwell have been making this journey for three generations.

It also means most people reading this page are not first timers. You have been before, or your parents have, or you are the one in the family everybody asks to organise it. So rather than explaining what Umrah is, this page goes deep on the things that actually get asked in Slough living rooms: what Ramadan in the Haram is genuinely like, how to book for three generations at once when everybody needs something different, and how to travel with parents who do not speak English.

Heathrow in Twenty Minutes

Direct answer: Heathrow is roughly seven miles from Slough, about twenty minutes by road, which is the shortest airport journey of any town we serve.

There is not much to say here, which is the point. No coach booked the night before, no airport hotel, no 3am start. A family in Langley can leave home at four in the morning and comfortably make a seven o’clock departure.

That proximity has a practical benefit people overlook. Pilgrims from most UK cities have to add an overnight airport hotel to catch an early flight, typically £90 to £140 for a family room. From Slough you simply drive. For a group of four or five, a taxi to the terminal often costs less than four rail or coach fares, and it takes your luggage with it.

Heathrow also carries more direct services to Jeddah and Madinah than any other UK airport, with a flying time of about six hours fifteen minutes. Direct matters more than most people expect when you are travelling in ihram with elderly parents. Group departures of twelve or more include transport to the terminal at no cost.

Ramadan Umrah 2027: The Honest Guide

Direct answer: Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin around 7 or 8 February 2027 and end with Eid al-Fitr around 9 March 2027. Umrah in Ramadan carries immense reward and involves crowds unlike anything at any other time of year.

This is the section we get asked about more than any other in Slough, and most travel websites will not tell you the truth about it. Ramadan in the Haram is extraordinary. It is also physically demanding, extremely crowded, and nothing like the Ramadan Umrah people picture from photographs.

Ramadan 2027 prices

How early you actually need to arrive at the Haram

This is operator knowledge, learned from sending groups, and it is the single most useful table on this page. Times are how far before the iqamah you should be inside the mosque if you want a place in the main prayer areas rather than the outer courtyards.

Read that last row again. Jumu’ah during the final ten nights can require arriving four hours early. If nobody has told you that before booking, you were going to find out the hard way.

What iftar in the Haram is like

Mats are laid across the courtyards and inside the mosque well before Maghrib, and dates, Zamzam and simple food are distributed freely. You are welcome to sit and join, and you will almost certainly be invited to by strangers. It is one of the most moving experiences available to a Muslim, and it is worth planning your whole day around.

The practical consequence is that the hour before Maghrib is when movement inside the Haram becomes nearly impossible. Be where you intend to pray before that window opens, not during it.

Taraweeh and qiyam

Taraweeh in Masjid al-Haram is prayed as twenty rak’ah after Isha, and it is long. During the last ten nights, qiyam al-layl is prayed again in the small hours, typically after midnight. Many pilgrims sleep in the afternoon and treat the night as their main period of worship, which is a genuine adjustment to your body clock and one reason we recommend longer packages for Ramadan.

The last ten nights and Laylatul Qadr

The final ten nights are what most people are really asking about. The Haram fills to capacity, the odd nights fill beyond it, and the atmosphere is unlike anything else in the Muslim world.

Odd nights in 2027

Working from an expected start of 8 February 2027, the odd nights of the last ten fall approximately on 28 February, 2 March, 4 March, 6 March and 8 March 2027. All dates shift with moon sighting, so treat these as a planning guide rather than a fixture.

I’tikaf

Arrangements for i’tikaf in the Haram have changed several times in recent years and are normally subject to registration or permit. We confirm the current position for your travel dates before you fly rather than letting you arrive and discover it. If i’tikaf is your reason for travelling, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can build the booking around it.

Should you go during Ramadan, or straight after Eid?

An honest question deserves an honest answer, and for many Slough families the answer is after Eid.

If you are young, fit and travelling without dependants, the last ten nights are worth every pound and every hour of standing. If you are taking a seventy eight year old mother or a four year old, the fortnight after Eid gives you a calm, unhurried pilgrimage for well under half the price. Both are correct answers. Anyone who tells you only one of them is has something to sell.

More on our Ramadan Umrah packages page. Book last ten nights by autumn 2026, because those hotel allocations close before anything else in the industry.

Three Generations, One Booking

Direct answer: The most common Slough booking is grandparents, parents and children travelling together. The mistake is booking them all the same way, when they need different hotels, different pacing and sometimes different package lengths.

The pace problem

A grandmother in her seventies, a couple in their forties and teenagers do not have the same day. Trying to keep everyone on one schedule usually means the oldest traveller is exhausted by day three and the youngest is bored by day five.

The solution is to stop planning one itinerary. Plan a shared core, usually Umrah itself, the ziyarat day, and the evening prayers, then let the rest of the days run separately. Everybody meets in the Haram. Nobody has to march.

Mixed hotel tiers within one group

This is allowed, it is common, and almost nobody offers it unprompted.

Your parents and two of the children can stay in a 4 star hotel 350 metres from the Haram while the rest of you stay in a 3 star 900 metres away. Same city, same dates, same booking reference, different buildings. The older travellers get the short walk that makes attending every prayer realistic. The younger ones absorb the saving.

What a split booking actually costs

Worked on a family of eight travelling 12 nights: two grandparents, two parents, four children.

The split lands exactly between the two, costing £280 more than putting everybody in 3 star and saving £280 against upgrading the whole family. For that £280, the four people who most need to be near the Haram are 400 metres closer to it.

Split in fours, not in pairs

There is a trap here worth knowing. Splitting eight people as two in 4 star and six in 3 star costs £7,500, which is more than simply upgrading everybody. Room supplements are charged by configuration, so the moment you break a group out of full quads you start paying twin and single premiums on both sides of the split. Keep each tier filled in multiples of four and the arrangement works. Break that and it stops working immediately.

Who needs what

• Over seventy: shortest possible walk, 12 or 14 nights, cooler months, train rather than coach between cities
• Parents in their forties and fifties: flexible, usually the ones carrying everyone else’s admin
• Teenagers: fine anywhere, appreciate a day with some autonomy
• Under tens: need the hotel close for afternoon rest, and a quad room rather than being split
• Infants: lap fare, and a hotel with a lift that works

Travelling With Parents Who Do Not Speak English

Direct answer: We arrange group leaders who speak the language your parents actually speak, and we brief the family so nobody is left managing a Saudi airport alone with a document they cannot read.

A great many Slough pilgrims are taking a mother or father who arrived in Britain decades ago and never needed fluent English to live a full life here. That is completely normal and it should not be an obstacle. It becomes one only when nobody plans for it.

Group leaders and languages

On group departures we can arrange leadership in Urdu, Punjabi, Mirpuri, Pashto, Bengali, Somali or Arabic depending on the group and the season. Ask at the enquiry stage rather than after booking, because it depends on which leader is assigned to your departure.

The airport, which is where problems start

Heathrow is manageable because you are with them. Jeddah and Madinah are where an older traveller can become separated during immigration queues, which are long and where families are sometimes processed in different lines.

• Keep everyone’s documents in one folder carried by one person
• Photograph every passport and visa before leaving Slough
• Write the hotel name and address in Arabic on a card in your parent’s pocket
• Agree that nobody moves from the baggage hall until the whole party is together

Documents and forms

We complete the visa paperwork on your behalf, so there is nothing for your parents to fill in themselves. What we do need is accurate information, and spelling of names must match the passport exactly. Transliterated names are the single most common cause of a delayed application, so send us the passport photo page rather than typing the name out.

What we brief the family on

Before departure we tell the person organising the trip exactly what will happen at each stage, in what order, and what to do if the group is separated. That briefing exists precisely because a seventy year old should not be working out a Saudi immigration hall from first principles.

Book With Just £99 Deposit

Direct answer: £99 per person confirms any 2027 Umrah package from Slough, fixes your price permanently and starts your visa file. The balance follows in interest free instalments.

What the deposit holds

• Your price, locked against any later fare increase
• Your seats and hotel rooms, under one booking reference
• Your visa file, opened early rather than rushed
• A written payment plan you have agreed to

The instalment plan

Shown for a family booking 12 nights, 3 star, six months ahead.

Fitting the plan to your household

For a family of eight the deposit is £792 and the first real instalment is four months away. Dates can be adjusted to your pay cycle while the booking is being created, though not after ticketing.

If you need to move your dates

The £99 is non-refundable and fully transferable. Change your travel month before tickets are issued and it moves across with you.

Package Lengths

Direct answer: The rituals take two to four hours. Package length decides how long you remain in the two Harams, which is the reason for going.

7 nights Umrah package

Four nights Makkah, three nights Madinah, from £665. Enough to arrive, perform Umrah, pray for several days and complete the essential ziyarat. The limitation is recovery time, since most people need two days to absorb the flight and the time shift.

Suited to

Tight annual leave, first timers testing the heat, and firm budget ceilings.

10 nights Umrah package

Six nights Makkah, four nights Madinah, from £715. Fifty pounds more for three additional days. This is the package we book most often across Berkshire.

Suited to

Most families, second time pilgrims, and anyone travelling with parents.

12 nights Umrah package

Seven nights Makkah, five nights Madinah, from £825. The right length when somebody in the party needs their own pace, which describes almost every three generation booking.

Suited to

Multi generational groups, pilgrims past sixty, and travellers with mobility limitations.

14 nights Umrah package

Eight nights Makkah, six nights Madinah, from £895. Lowest nightly cost in the range, with room for repeated Umrah and unhurried ziyarat.

Suited to

Retired pilgrims, large community groups from Slough, and once in a lifetime journeys.

Star Ratings and Distance

Direct answer: In Makkah the rating is mostly a measure of how far you walk. 3 star sits 700 to 1,100 metres from the Haram, 4 star 300 to 700 metres, and 5 star under 250 metres.

For a fit adult the gap between tiers is a pleasant walk. For a parent with arthritis in February, it is the difference between five prayers a day in the Haram and two. That is the whole calculation, and it is why we push the 4 star upgrade for older travellers rather than the 5 star one. Detail on our 5 star Umrah packages page.

We name the hotel in writing before you pay. Always.

For Pilgrims Who Have Been Before

Direct answer: On a second or third Umrah, book longer, stay closer, and plan to perform Umrah more than once. The things that felt overwhelming the first time are the things you can now optimise.

Slough has a very high proportion of repeat pilgrims, and almost nothing written for the UK market speaks to them. Here is what changes.

What to do differently

• Book longer, not fancier. The upgrade from 7 to 10 nights buys more than the upgrade from 3 star to 5 star, and costs a quarter as much.
• Go off peak deliberately. You have already experienced the crowds. The fortnight after Eid or a quiet September gives you the Haram almost to yourself.
• Plan multiple Umrah. Returning to the miqat at Masjid Aisha, seven kilometres away, lets you perform Umrah again. On a 14 nights trip, three or four is entirely achievable.
• Fly into Madinah, out of Jeddah. You know the geography now. Starting in the quieter city and entering ihram at Dhul Hulayfah on the road is the better sequence.

If you are the one organising for everyone

Being the family’s de facto group leader is a real job and it is usually unpaid and unthanked. What we can take off you: the visa paperwork, the room configuration arithmetic, the airport transfers, the hotel liaison, and the person who answers at 3am. What we cannot take off you is being the one everybody asks where to meet. Agree a numbered gate at the Haram before you go in, and photograph the number.

Performing Umrah more than once in a trip

Return to Masjid Aisha, re-enter ihram, make the intention, and repeat tawaf, sa’i and halq or taqsir. Transport runs constantly and cheaply from central Makkah. This is the strongest single argument for booking 10 nights or longer.

The Rest of the 2027 Calendar

Direct answer: Outside Ramadan, the best value window of 2027 is the fortnight straight after Eid from around mid March. June to September is cheapest. Mid April to late May is closed for Hajj.

January is the most comfortable month of the year at around 30°C in Makkah, with moderate crowds and low prices. The second half of March, immediately after Eid, is the outstanding value period, with prices collapsing and the Haram emptying within days. June through September is the cheapest stretch and the hottest, reaching 43°C. October and November offer good conditions at sensible prices, with half term the exception. December is pleasant but school holidays lift it to the second annual peak.

The Hajj closure

Hajj 1448 is expected in mid May 2027. Umrah visa issuance is normally suspended in the approach, so travel from roughly mid April to late May 2027 will not be possible. There are no exceptions to plan around.

What Every Package Includes

Direct answer: Return flights, full visa processing, hotels in both cities, all airport and intercity transfers, Zamzam water and round the clock UK support.

Air travel

Return economy from Heathrow with 23kg hold baggage plus hand luggage. Business class quoted on request.

Hotels

Named properties in Makkah and Madinah, confirmed in writing at quote stage, within walking distance or on a continuous shuttle.

Visa

Processed end to end by our team, with no separate charge appearing later.

Transport on the ground

Airport to hotel, hotel to airport, and the journey between the two cities.

Ziyarat

Included on 10, 12 and 14 nights packages, a £45 per person add-on on 7 nights. Makkah covers Jabal al-Noor, Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat. Madinah covers Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatain, Uhud and the date markets.

Not covered

Meals unless a board upgrade is taken, travel insurance, vaccinations, excess baggage, personal spending and private vehicle upgrades.

Makkah to Madinah

Direct answer: The Haramain High Speed Railway links the two cities in about two hours twenty minutes across 450 kilometres, at speeds up to 300 km/h.

We book the train for multi generational groups as a matter of course, because it removes several hours of road travel from a day that is already long for an older traveller. Coach takes five to six hours and is standard on the budget tier.

• Jeddah Airport to Makkah: 90 kilometres, about 1 hour 15 minutes
• Madinah Airport to Masjid an-Nabawi: 15 kilometres, about 25 minutes
• Masjid Aisha to Masjid al-Haram: 7 kilometres

Visa, Documents and Vaccination

Direct answer: UK passport holders travel on a Saudi eVisa or tourist visa, which permits Umrah. You need six months of passport validity and a meningococcal ACWY certificate dated at least ten days before arrival.

What we need from you

• Passport valid six months beyond your return date
• Recent white background photograph per traveller
• Meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate
• Full birth certificate for each child, showing both parents

The compulsory vaccination

The quadrivalent meningococcal ACWY vaccine is mandatory. GP surgeries and pharmacy travel clinics across Slough administer it. Book it the week you book your package. A certificate dated fewer than ten days before arrival is refused at the border, with no discretion, and for a large family group that means everybody needs it organised at once rather than one by one.

Sisters travelling without a mahram

Permitted from age 18 under current Saudi rules. Ladies group departures with a female group leader and female designated rooming are available.

Children and babies

No minimum age. Infants under two travel on a lap fare of roughly 10% of the adult fare plus taxes. Children aged two to eleven receive a reduced rate sharing an existing room. More on our Umrah visa guide.

The Four Rituals

Direct answer: Enter ihram at the miqat, perform seven circuits of tawaf, complete seven trips of sa’i, then shave or trim the hair.

Entering ihram

Two unstitched white sheets for men, ordinary modest dress for women. Intention and talbiyah begin at the miqat, announced in flight into Jeddah, or at Dhul Hulayfah travelling by road from Madinah.

Tawaf around the Kaaba

Seven circuits beginning and ending at the Black Stone corner. The ground floor is busiest. Upper levels and the roof are calmer though each circuit is longer, which is the right choice for older pilgrims and during Ramadan.

Sa’i between Safa and Marwa

Seven trips, roughly 3.5 kilometres in total, enclosed, air conditioned, with dedicated wheelchair lanes.

Halq or taqsir

Men shave or trim, women cut a fingertip length. Ihram ends and the Umrah is complete.

Why Slough Pilgrims Book With Us

Direct answer: Published prices, hotels named before payment, £99 deposits, split bookings across hotel tiers, language support for older travellers, and a UK line that answers overnight.

We have sent groups from this town for years

Over a decade arranging pilgrimage travel for UK departing groups, including repeat block bookings for community organisations across Slough and Berkshire. We know which Makkah properties run the shuttle they advertise. That comes from sending people, not from a screen.

Protection for your payment

Packages including flights are sold under ATOL protection, with your certificate issued at confirmation rather than on request. Ask every agency for their ATOL number in writing, including us.

Prices we will defend

Every figure here is a genuine 2027 rate, benchmarked against the wider UK market and deliberately held under it. Where the market sits at £685 for a 3 star 7 nights package, we sit at £665 with equal or better inclusions.

Advice that costs us margin

We tell families with elderly parents to consider the fortnight after Eid rather than the last ten nights, which reduces our revenue by more than a thousand pounds per person. We do it because for a seventy eight year old it is the right answer.

Umrah Packages From Slough: Frequently Asked Questions

Ramadan 2027

What are the Ramadan 2027 dates?

Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin around 7 or 8 February 2027, with Eid al-Fitr around 9 March 2027, subject to moon sighting.

How much is a Ramadan Umrah package in 2027?

From £1,179 per person for the first Ashra in a 3 star hotel, rising to £1,879 for the last ten nights and £2,749 for the full month.

Why are the last ten nights so much more expensive?

Demand exceeds hotel supply near the Haram by an enormous margin during that window, and allocations are contracted further ahead than any other product in the industry.

How early do I need to get to the Haram in Ramadan?

Around an hour before Maghrib and 60 to 90 minutes before Isha in the first twenty days. During the last ten nights allow two to three hours for Isha and taraweeh, and three to four hours for Jumu’ah.

Is iftar provided in the Haram?

Yes. Mats are laid out before Maghrib and dates, Zamzam and simple food are distributed freely. You are welcome to join and will usually be invited.

How many rak’ah is taraweeh in Masjid al-Haram?

Twenty rak’ah after Isha, followed by qiyam al-layl in the small hours during the last ten nights.

When are the odd nights in Ramadan 2027?

Approximately 28 February, 2 March, 4 March, 6 March and 8 March 2027, shifting with moon sighting.

Can I perform i’tikaf in the Haram?

Arrangements change year to year and normally require registration or a permit. Tell us at enquiry stage and we will confirm the position for your dates.

Should I take elderly parents during the last ten nights?

Usually not. The crowds make reaching the prayer areas extremely difficult. The fortnight after Eid gives a calm pilgrimage at under half the price.

Is Ramadan Umrah suitable for young children?

It is very demanding. Families with children under ten generally have a better experience travelling after Eid or during October and November.

When must I book Ramadan 2027?

By autumn 2026 for the last ten nights. The first Ashra holds availability considerably longer.

Is the first Ashra worth it if I cannot afford the last ten nights?

Yes. You get Ramadan in the Haram, taraweeh every night, and iftar in the courtyards, at around 60% of the cost and with far more manageable crowds.

Family and group bookings

Can different family members stay in different hotels?

Yes, on the same booking reference. Grandparents can take a 4 star close to the Haram while everyone else stays 3 star further out.

Does a split hotel booking cost much more?

For a family of eight on 12 nights, a four and four split costs £280 more than all 3 star and £280 less than upgrading everybody. Keep each tier in multiples of four, or the supplements wipe out the saving.

How do I book for three generations at once?

Send us the ages and any mobility needs. We build a shared core itinerary with separate pacing around it, rather than forcing one schedule on everyone.

What package length suits a multi generational group?

Twelve nights. It builds in genuine rest days, which is what makes the trip work for the oldest and youngest travellers at the same time.

Do you offer discounts for large family groups?

Yes. Twelve or more travellers receive reduced per person rates, free transport to Heathrow, block hotel allocation and a dedicated group leader.

Can households in the group pay separately?

Yes. We can issue one invoice or split billing by family, whichever suits you.

Do you handle bookings for Slough mosques and community groups?

Regularly, and it is a substantial part of what we do in Berkshire.

Language and older travellers

Can you provide a group leader who speaks Urdu or Punjabi?

Yes, and depending on the departure we can also arrange Mirpuri, Pashto, Bengali, Somali or Arabic. Ask at enquiry stage so we can assign the right leader.

My parents do not speak English. Is that a problem?

No. We complete all paperwork on your behalf and brief the family on exactly what happens at each stage of the journey.

What should I carry for my parents at the airport?

One folder with everybody’s documents, photographs of every passport and visa taken before leaving Slough, and a card in their pocket with the hotel name and address written in Arabic.

What if we get separated at Jeddah immigration?

Agree in advance that nobody leaves the baggage hall until the whole party is together. Queues are long and families are sometimes processed in different lines.

Is there an upper age limit for Umrah?

No. We regularly book pilgrims in their eighties, with the hotel proximity and package length adjusted accordingly.

Can wheelchair users complete tawaf and sa’i?

Yes. Both areas are accessible, wheelchairs are available with pushers for a fee, and electric carts run on designated upper levels.

Prices, deposit and payment

How much does Umrah from Slough cost in 2027?

From £665 per person for 7 nights 3 star, up to £1,369 for 14 nights 5 star, with Ramadan from £1,179.

What is the cheapest package available?

A 7 nights 3 star package at £665 per person, travelling in June or September with four sharing.

Which package is the best value?

The 10 nights. It costs £50 more than 7 nights and adds three days, which is the cheapest upgrade in the range.

Is the £99 deposit per person?

Yes. A family of eight pays £792 to secure the entire booking.

Do you charge interest on the payment plan?

No interest, no credit check and no arrangement fee.

Can my price go up after the deposit?

No. Once it clears, your price is fixed regardless of airline fare movements.

What if I miss an instalment?

Contact us before the date and we will rework the schedule where the ticketing deadline allows.

Do children pay full price?

No. Infants under two pay a lap fare of roughly 10% of the adult fare plus taxes, and children two to eleven get a reduced rate sharing an existing room.

Is the visa fee extra?

No, it is included in every price on this page.

How much spending money should we take?

Around £180 per person for 7 nights, £250 for 10 nights and £300 for 12 nights, before gifts.

Heathrow and flights

How far is Heathrow from Slough?

Around seven miles, roughly twenty minutes by road. It is the shortest airport journey of anywhere we serve.

Do I need an airport hotel for an early flight?

No, which is a genuine saving. Pilgrims from most UK cities pay £90 to £140 for one. From Slough you simply drive.

Is transport to the terminal included?

Free on group departures of twelve or more. Otherwise a taxi for four or five people usually costs less than the equivalent rail fares.

How long is the flight to Jeddah?

About six hours fifteen minutes direct from Heathrow. Madinah is marginally shorter.

Can we fly into Madinah and return from Jeddah?

Yes, and for repeat pilgrims we recommend it. You start in the quieter city and never repeat a journey.

What luggage is included?

23kg in the hold plus hand luggage, with more available to purchase.

Packages, hotels and the trip

How close will our hotel be to the Haram?

3 star sits 700 to 1,100 metres away with a 24 hour shuttle, 4 star 300 to 700 metres, and 5 star under 250 metres.

Do you tell us the hotel name before payment?

Yes, in writing at quote stage.

Are meals included?

Not as standard. Half board and full board upgrades are quoted separately.

Is ziyarat part of the price?

Included on 10, 12 and 14 nights packages, and a £45 per person add-on on 7 nights.

Can I perform Umrah several times in one trip?

Yes. Return to the miqat at Masjid Aisha, seven kilometres from the Haram, and repeat the rituals. Three or four times is achievable on a 14 nights package.

How do we travel between Makkah and Madinah?

By Haramain high speed train in about two hours twenty minutes, or coach in five to six hours, depending on tier. We book the train for multi generational groups.

Is a guide included?

Yes on group departures, and they take first time pilgrims through each ritual in person.

Visa, health and protection

Which visa do UK citizens need?

A Saudi eVisa or tourist visa, which permits Umrah and which we process inside your package.

How long does visa processing take?

Typically three to seven working days once documents are complete, longer in peak season.

Which vaccination is required?

The meningococcal ACWY vaccine, certified at least ten days before arrival in Saudi Arabia.

How much passport validity do we need?

Six months beyond your travel dates, for every traveller including children.

Why do names need to match the passport exactly?

Transliterated spellings are the most common cause of a delayed visa. Send us the passport photo page rather than typing names out.

Is the booking ATOL protected?

Yes on every package including flights, with the certificate issued at confirmation.

Do we need travel insurance?

Not legally, but we strongly recommend it for medical cover and can arrange it.

What happens if a flight is cancelled?

We rebook at no cost and adjust hotel nights so you do not pay for rooms you did not use.
