More Than Just Umrah Packages
Umrah packages from Peterborough in 2027 start at £665 per person for 7 nights in a 3 star hotel, including return flights, Umrah visa, hotels in Makkah and Madinah and all transfers including your journey to the departure airport. Any 2027 departure is held with a £99 deposit.
Peterborough is a long way from an airport that flies to Saudi Arabia. Heathrow is 95 miles down the road and Birmingham is 90. Stansted and Luton are closer but neither serves Jeddah or Madinah, so proximity does you no good at all.
We deal with that by treating the transfer as our problem rather than yours, and then spending the rest of this page on the things that genuinely change your pilgrimage. Chief among them is ziyarat, which almost every UK Umrah website lists as a bullet point and nobody explains. Where are you actually going, what happened there, how long does it take, and which of those sites involves a two hour climb up a mountain that nobody warned you about? Families across Millfield, New England, Eastfield, Fletton, Dogsthorpe, Walton and Werrington ask us these questions constantly, so here are the answers.
Full range on our Umrah packages homepage, or message us on WhatsApp for live 2027 availability.
Direct answer: A 7 nights 3 star Umrah package costs £665 per person, 10 nights £715, 12 nights £825 and 14 nights £895, covering flights, visa, both hotels and every transfer.
Package | Nights in Makkah | Nights in Madinah | 3 Star | 4 Star | 5 Star |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
7 nights Umrah package | 4 | 3 | £665 | £729 | £1,030 |
10 nights Umrah package | 6 | 4 | £715 | £779 | £1,130 |
12 nights Umrah package | 7 | 5 | £825 | £895 | £1,250 |
14 nights Umrah package | 8 | 6 | £895 | £1,059 | £1,369 |

Direct answer: Peterborough is 90 to 95 miles from the nearest airport with direct Saudi flights. On group departures we include the coach so it costs you nothing and you do not have to organise it.
There is no clever answer to Peterborough’s geography. Stansted is an hour away and does not fly to Jeddah. Luton is the same. The two airports that work are Heathrow and Birmingham, and both are roughly ninety miles off.
What we can do is stop it being your problem. Group departures of twelve or more include a coach from Peterborough at no cost, which is the arrangement most community and family bookings from the city use. For smaller bookings we quote a private minibus, or you can take the direct East Coast Main Line service to London King’s Cross in around fifty minutes and continue to Heathrow from there.
The one thing we would ask you not to do is drive and park. Two weeks of long stay parking at Heathrow will cost a family more than the coach, and after a six hour flight home nobody wants a ninety mile drive up the A1 at midnight.
Pilgrims from Whittlesey, March, Stamford, Oundle, Spalding, Huntingdon and Wisbech are covered by the same arrangements. Direct flying time from either airport to Jeddah is roughly six hours fifteen minutes.
Direct answer: Ziyarat is the visiting of historic Islamic sites around Makkah and Madinah. It is included on our 10, 12 and 14 nights packages and available as a £45 per person add-on on 7 nights bookings.
This is the section we wrote this page for. Every Umrah website lists ziyarat as an inclusion. Almost none of them tell you what you are actually going to see.
The mountain where the first revelation of the Qur’an was received. This is the site people are most eager to visit and the one they are least prepared for. The cave sits near the summit at around 640 metres, and reaching it means a steep climb of between one and two hours in open heat with limited shade.
Most coach ziyarat tours stop at the base, and the great majority of pilgrims look up rather than climb. There is nothing wrong with that. If you intend to make the ascent, treat it as a separate half day expedition, go before Fajr or after Asr, and take far more water than you think you need.
The mountain containing the cave where the Prophet and Abu Bakr sheltered during the migration to Madinah. Higher than Jabal al-Noor at roughly 760 metres and a harder climb, which is why it is visited far less often. Coach tours view it from the road.
The three sites central to Hajj, visited on the standard Makkah ziyarat route by coach. You will see the vast tent city of Mina standing empty, the open plain of Muzdalifah, and the plain of Arafat with Jabal ar-Rahmah rising from it. Seeing these places outside Hajj season, silent and deserted, affects people more than they expect.
Almost all of this is done seated, which makes it suitable for elderly pilgrims and young children.
The nearest miqat to Makkah, around seven kilometres from the Haram, and the place you return to if you intend to perform a second or third Umrah during your stay. Transport runs constantly and cheaply. This is the practical reason we push 10 nights and longer.
The historic cemetery of Makkah, where members of the Prophet’s family are buried. A short and quiet stop.
The first mosque built in Islam, around five kilometres from Masjid an-Nabawi. Praying two rak’ah here is well known for its reward, and unlike the mountains it is completely accessible to everybody. Allow an hour including travel.
The mosque where the direction of prayer was changed from Jerusalem to Makkah during a prayer in progress. Small, striking, and usually a twenty to thirty minute stop.
The site of the Battle of Uhud, where the martyrs including Hamza are buried, with Jabal ar-Rumat, the archers’ hill, alongside. There is a substantial visitor area at the base and the walking is flat and easy. For most pilgrims this is the most affecting stop in Madinah after the Haram itself.
The principal cemetery of Madinah, immediately beside Masjid an-Nabawi, where many of the Companions are buried. Access times are limited and differ for men and women, so your group leader will tell you when to go.
Not a religious site, but a genuine part of the Madinah experience and where most pilgrims buy dates to bring home. Ajwa dates from Madinah are what everybody in Peterborough will ask you for, so budget accordingly.
This table does not exist anywhere else, and it is what you actually need to plan a day.
Site | City | Time needed | Physical difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
Jabal al-Noor, viewing from base | Makkah | 30 minutes | Easy |
Jabal al-Noor, climbing to Hira | Makkah | 3 to 4 hours | Hard, steep ascent |
Jabal Thawr, viewing | Makkah | 30 minutes | Easy |
Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat | Makkah | 2 to 3 hours | Easy, mostly seated |
Masjid Aisha at Tan’eem | Makkah | 1 hour return | Easy |
Jannat al-Mualla | Makkah | 30 minutes | Easy |
Masjid Quba | Madinah | 1 hour | Easy |
Masjid al-Qiblatain | Madinah | 30 minutes | Easy |
Mount Uhud | Madinah | 1 to 1.5 hours | Easy at the base |
Jannat al-Baqi | Madinah | 30 minutes | Easy |
Date markets | Madinah | 1 hour | Easy |
A full Makkah ziyarat circuit runs three to four hours by coach. Madinah runs four to five. Both are comfortably manageable for older pilgrims provided you skip the climbs, which the standard tours do anyway.
Direct answer: Riyad ul-Jannah is the area of Masjid an-Nabawi between the Prophet’s pulpit and his resting place. Access is managed by a free permit system with timed slots and separate hours for men and women.
Madinah gets a fraction of the coverage that Makkah does on UK travel sites, which is strange, because most pilgrims say afterwards that Madinah is where they were happiest.
The Prophet described the area between his pulpit and his house as a garden from the gardens of Paradise. It is a small carpeted section within a very large mosque visited by enormous numbers of people, which is why access is now controlled.
Permits are issued free through the official Saudi pilgrimage app, in timed slots, and they are released in advance and taken quickly. Men and women have separate designated hours. You will need the app installed and your details registered before you travel, not after you arrive.
The system has changed several times over recent years, so we confirm the current process and timings for your specific travel dates as part of your pre-departure briefing rather than pointing you at a webpage that may be out of date. Your group leader books slots for the group where the system permits it.
Try again for a different day. Most pilgrims on a 10 nights package with four nights in Madinah manage it. On a 7 nights package with three nights, it is tighter, which is another argument for the longer stay.
Beyond the Rawdah, the flow past the Prophet’s resting place to give salaam is continuous and moves quickly. You will not have long. Know in advance what you intend to say, because people frequently arrive at the moment they have travelled thousands of miles for and find their mind has gone blank.
Makkah is intense, vertical and relentless. Madinah is calm, low and unhurried. The pace of the city is slower, the mosque is airier, and the courtyards with their great umbrellas are genuinely pleasant to sit in. Pilgrims who allocate only two or three nights there almost always wish they had given it more, which is worth knowing before you choose a package.
Direct answer: Do not film, do not push, and do not risk injury trying to reach the Black Stone. Pointing towards it from a distance is sufficient and is what the overwhelming majority of pilgrims do.
We are a travel company rather than a body of scholars, so for religious rulings please ask your imam. What follows is practical conduct, learned from watching thousands of pilgrims.
Photography and video are restricted inside both mosques, particularly in the Mataf and around the Rawdah, and enforcement is real. Beyond the rules, there is a simple point worth making: you have travelled a very long way to be present somewhere. Filming it is the fastest way to not be there.
Kissing it is a sunnah. It is also, at peak times, the single most dangerous place in the mosque, with serious crushing and frequent injuries. Pointing towards it from a distance as you pass is entirely sufficient. Do not take an elderly parent or a child into that crowd, and do not let anyone convince you it is expected of you.
Pilgrims come from every culture on earth and expectations about queuing and personal space vary enormously. Somebody stepping in front of you is very rarely being rude by their own standards. This is the most common source of frustration we hear about and it dissolves the moment you stop reading it as disrespect.
Modest dress throughout for everybody. Men in ihram wear the two unstitched sheets. Women wear ordinary modest clothing with no specific colour required, and the face need not be covered. Comfortable footwear that slips on and off easily will improve your trip more than almost anything else you pack.
Direct answer: £99 per person confirms any 2027 Umrah package from Peterborough, fixes your price permanently and opens your visa file. The balance follows in interest free instalments.
Shown for a booking of 10 nights, 3 star, made seven months ahead.
Stage | Timing | Amount |
|---|---|---|
Deposit | On booking | £99 per person |
Second payment | 5 months before travel | 35% of the balance |
Third payment | 3 months before travel | 35% of the balance |
Final payment | 45 days before travel | The remaining 30% |
Instalment dates can be aligned to your pay cycle while the booking is being set up, though not after ticketing, when the airline deadline takes over.
The £99 is non-refundable but fully transferable. Move before tickets are issued and it follows you across.
Direct answer: Solo pilgrims should book onto a group departure and ask to be paired into a twin room with another traveller of the same gender. It saves £205 against a single room and means you are not navigating the Haram by yourself.
A meaningful share of our Peterborough bookings are individuals rather than families, and the industry writes almost nothing for them.
The single supplement is £395. Twin sharing is £190. Pairing you with another solo pilgrim of the same gender therefore saves you £205, and we arrange it regularly on group departures. Tell us at enquiry stage so we can match you before rooms are allocated.
Someone knows where you are. Someone notices if you do not come to Maghrib. On your first trip especially, having a leader who has done this many times and a group who will look for you is worth considerably more than the modest saving of going independently.
Permitted from age 18 under current Saudi rules. We run ladies group departures with a female group leader and female designated rooming, which most sisters travelling alone prefer to going entirely independently.
Direct answer: The rituals take two to four hours. Package length decides how much time you spend in the two Harams afterwards.
Four nights Makkah, three nights Madinah, from £665. Enough to perform Umrah, pray for several days and complete the core ziyarat. Three nights in Madinah makes a Rawdah permit tight, which is the honest limitation.
Limited annual leave, first trips on a firm budget.
Six nights Makkah, four nights Madinah, from £715. Fifty pounds more for three additional days, including a fourth night in Madinah that meaningfully improves your chances of a Rawdah slot. Our most booked package.
Most pilgrims, most budgets, and anyone who wants ziyarat done unhurried.
Seven nights Makkah, five nights Madinah, from £825. Room for the full ziyarat programme in both cities plus rest days, and enough time in Madinah to sit in it rather than rush through.
Older pilgrims, groups with mixed pace, and anyone who wants to climb Jabal al-Noor as a separate expedition.
Eight nights Makkah, six nights Madinah, from £895. The lowest nightly cost we sell, with room for repeated Umrah from Masjid Aisha and unhurried time in both cities.
Retired pilgrims, Peterborough community groups, and once in a lifetime journeys.
Direct answer: In Makkah the star rating is largely a measure of distance. 3 star sits 700 to 1,100 metres out, 4 star 300 to 700 metres, and 5 star under 250 metres.
Tier | Makkah to Masjid al-Haram | Madinah to Masjid an-Nabawi | Shuttle |
|---|---|---|---|
3 star | 700 to 1,100 metres | 300 to 600 metres | 24 hour, Makkah |
4 star | 300 to 700 metres | 150 to 350 metres | Yes, Makkah |
5 star | Under 250 metres | Under 150 metres | Not needed |
In Madinah the distances are shorter across every tier, which is one reason pilgrims find it a gentler city. Detail on our 5 star Umrah packages page. We name the hotel in writing before you pay.
Direct answer: 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.
Expected to begin around 7 or 8 February 2027, ending with Eid al-Fitr around 9 March 2027, subject to moon sighting.
Option | 3 star | 4 star | 5 star |
|---|---|---|---|
First Ashra, 10 nights | £1,179 | £1,449 | £1,979 |
Second Ashra, 10 nights | £1,279 | £1,549 | £2,099 |
Last ten nights | £1,879 | £2,179 | £2,679 |
Full month, 30 nights | £2,749 | £3,199 | £4,149 |
Worth knowing if ziyarat matters to you: during Ramadan, and especially the final ten nights, ziyarat tours run on reduced schedules and the sites are far busier. If seeing the historic sites properly is a priority, travel outside Ramadan. More on our Ramadan Umrah packages page.
January is the most comfortable month at around 30°C in Makkah. The second half of March, immediately after Eid, is the outstanding value period. June through September is cheapest and hottest at up to 43°C, which also makes any mountain climb inadvisable. October and November offer good conditions at moderate prices. December is pleasant but school holidays lift it to the second annual peak.
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.
Direct answer: Return flights, complete visa processing, hotels in both cities, all transfers including from Peterborough on group departures, Zamzam water and round the clock UK support.
Return economy with 23kg hold luggage plus hand baggage. Business class quoted on request.
Named properties in both cities, confirmed in writing at quote stage, within walking distance or on a continuous shuttle route.
Processed end to end by our team, with no separate charge appearing later.
Peterborough to the airport on group departures, airport to hotel, hotel to airport, and the journey between Makkah and Madinah.
Included on 10, 12 and 14 nights packages, and a £45 per person add-on on 7 nights bookings, covering the Makkah and Madinah circuits described above.
Meals unless a board upgrade is taken, travel insurance, vaccinations, excess baggage, personal spending, mountain climbs arranged independently, and private vehicle upgrades.
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.
Fast, air conditioned and comfortable, with stations at Makkah, Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City and Madinah. We book it for older pilgrims and family groups as standard. Coach takes five to six hours and is included on the budget tier.
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.
The quadrivalent meningococcal ACWY vaccine is compulsory. GP surgeries and pharmacy travel clinics across Peterborough administer it. Book it the week you book your package, because a certificate dated fewer than ten days before arrival is refused at the border with no discretion applied.
Flu and polio boosters are advisory. Check current UK government travel guidance nearer the time.
Permitted from age 18 with no mahram required. Ladies group departures with female leadership are available.
No minimum age. Infants under two travel on a lap fare of roughly 10% of the adult fare plus taxes. Children two to eleven receive a reduced rate sharing an existing room. More on our Umrah visa guide and our family Umrah packages page.
Direct answer: Enter ihram at the miqat, perform seven circuits of tawaf, complete seven trips of sa’i, then shave or trim the hair.
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.
Seven circuits of the Kaaba beginning and ending at the Black Stone corner. Ground floor is shortest and busiest, upper levels longer and considerably calmer.
Seven trips between Safa and Marwa, roughly 3.1 kilometres in total, enclosed, air conditioned, with dedicated wheelchair lanes.
Men shave or trim, women cut a fingertip length. Ihram ends and the Umrah is complete.
Direct answer: Transport included from the city, hotels named before payment, published prices, £99 deposits, real ziyarat guidance, and a UK line answering overnight.
Peterborough’s distance from an airport is the biggest practical obstacle to booking Umrah from this city, and including the coach on group departures removes it entirely. Most agencies leave you to sort it out.
If an agency cannot tell you how long Jabal al-Noor takes to climb or which cemetery has restricted access hours, they have not been. We have, repeatedly, with groups from this region.
Packages including flights are sold under ATOL protection, with the certificate issued at confirmation rather than on request. Ask every agency for their ATOL number in writing, including us.
Every figure here is a real 2027 rate, benchmarked against the wider UK market and held below it. Where the market sits at £685 for a 3 star 7 nights package, we sit at £665 with equal or better inclusions.

Ziyarat is the visiting of historic Islamic sites around Makkah and Madinah. It is included on 10, 12 and 14 nights packages and a £45 add-on on 7 nights.
The standard circuit covers Jabal al-Noor, Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah, Arafat and usually Jannat al-Mualla, taking three to four hours by coach.
Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatain, Mount Uhud, Jannat al-Baqi and the date markets, taking four to five hours.
Yes, but it is a steep ascent of one to two hours to around 640 metres, in open heat. Standard coach tours stop at the base. Treat the climb as a separate half day expedition.
Genuinely hard. It is the most physically demanding thing available on an Umrah trip and we would not recommend it in summer or for anyone with heart or joint problems.
The mountain containing the cave where the Prophet and Abu Bakr sheltered during the migration. Higher and harder than Jabal al-Noor, so it is usually viewed from the road.
The first mosque built in Islam, about five kilometres from Masjid an-Nabawi, and completely accessible to everyone. Praying two rak’ah there is well known for its reward.
It is the site of the Battle of Uhud where the martyrs including Hamza are buried. The walking is flat and easy and most pilgrims find it the most moving stop in Madinah after the Haram.
Yes. Almost all of the standard circuit is done seated on a coach with short easy stops. Only the mountain climbs are demanding, and those are not part of the tour.
Yes, but on reduced schedules and with far heavier crowds. If the historic sites are a priority, travel outside Ramadan.
Yes. Tell your group leader and we can arrange private transport at cost.
The area of Masjid an-Nabawi between the Prophet’s pulpit and his resting place, described as a garden from the gardens of Paradise.
Free timed permits are issued through the official Saudi pilgrimage app, with separate hours for men and women. Register before you travel, not on arrival.
They are released in advance and taken quickly. Four nights in Madinah gives you a realistic chance, three nights makes it tight.
Where the system permits it, yes, and we confirm the current process for your dates during your pre-departure briefing.
Not long, and the flow moves continuously. Decide in advance what you want to say, because many people find their mind goes blank.
Almost everyone says yes afterwards. It is calmer and slower than Makkah, and pilgrims who allocate only two or three nights usually regret it.
Yes, during designated hours which are separate from the men’s. Timings change, so check with your group leader on arrival.
Photography and video are restricted in both mosques, particularly the Mataf and Rawdah, and enforcement is real.
No. Pointing towards it from a distance as you pass is sufficient, and it is what most pilgrims do. The crowd around it causes serious injuries.
No. Do not take children or elderly relatives into that crowd under any circumstances.
Ordinary modest clothing. No particular colour is required and the face need not be covered.
Expectations about queuing and personal space differ enormously between cultures. It is very rarely intended as rudeness.
Using scented soap or deodorant while in ihram, and losing shoes by leaving them at a different gate from the one they exit by.
Heathrow or Birmingham, both around 90 to 95 miles away. Neither Stansted nor Luton flies to Saudi Arabia.
Yes on group departures of twelve or more, at no cost. Private minibus transfers are quoted for smaller bookings.
Yes. Peterborough to London King’s Cross takes around fifty minutes on the East Coast Main Line, with a connection onward to Heathrow.
We would advise against it. Two weeks of long stay parking costs a family more than the coach, and nobody wants a ninety mile drive home after a six hour flight.
Around six hours fifteen minutes direct to Jeddah. Madinah is marginally shorter.
Yes, including Whittlesey, March, Stamford, Oundle, Spalding, Huntingdon and Wisbech.
Yes, and many do. We would strongly suggest joining a group departure so somebody notices if you do not turn up.
Not necessarily. We can pair you into a twin with another solo pilgrim of the same gender, saving £205 against the £395 single supplement.
Yes, with a female group leader and female designated rooming.
Both cities are very safe for pilgrims. The practical risks are separation from your group and skipping meals in the heat, not crime.
From £665 per person for 7 nights 3 star, up to £1,369 for 14 nights 5 star. Ramadan starts at £1,179.
Ten nights. Fifty pounds more than 7 nights, and the extra night in Madinah materially improves your chance of a Rawdah permit.
Yes. Four travellers pay £396 to secure the booking.
No interest, no credit check and no arrangement fee.
No. Once it clears, your price is fixed regardless of airline fare movements.
Six to eight months ahead, which has been worth £120 to £180 per person in recent seasons.
Flights, visa, hotels in both cities, all transfers including from Peterborough on group departures, ziyarat on longer packages, and 24 hour support.
Meals unless upgraded, insurance, vaccinations, excess baggage and personal spending.
Around £180 per person for 7 nights, £250 for 10 nights and £300 for 12 nights, before gifts and dates.
A Saudi eVisa or tourist visa, which permits Umrah and which we process inside your package.
Typically three to seven working days once documents are complete.
The meningococcal ACWY vaccine, certified at least ten days before arrival.
Six months beyond your travel dates.
Yes on every package including flights, with the certificate issued at confirmation.
We strongly recommend it for medical cover and can arrange it.
We rebook at no cost and adjust hotel nights so you do not pay for rooms you did not use.
A person in the UK who can call your hotel or airline directly. The line is monitored 24 hours during travel periods.
The best value 2027 departures fill first come, first served, and the post-Eid fortnight, February and December go earliest. Hold your place with £99 per person and pay the balance at your own pace.
If ziyarat is a priority for you, say so when you enquire. We will build the itinerary around it and tell you honestly which sites are worth your energy and which are better viewed from the coach.

Prices are per person from rates for 2027 departures based on four sharing unless stated otherwise, and are subject to availability at the time of booking. Ramadan and Hajj dates are expected and depend on moon sighting. Rawdah permit arrangements and Jannat al-Baqi access hours are set by the Saudi authorities and change; we confirm current arrangements before departure. Ziyarat timings are approximate.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
