More Than Just Umrah Packages

Umrah Packages with Ziyarat Included | Guided Visits in Makkah and Madinah, from £499 per Person

Every package we sell includes guided Ziyarat in both cities. Prices start at £499 per person for 7 nights, and the Ziyarat is in that figure rather than sold to you at the hotel desk on day three.

Before the list of sites, one thing worth being clear about, because a lot of pages are not.

Ziyarat is not part of Umrah

Umrah is four things. Entering the state of Ihram, performing Tawaf, performing Sa’i, and shaving or shortening the hair. That is the whole rite. Complete those and your Umrah is complete, whether you visit a single other site or none at all.

Ziyarat is voluntary visiting of places connected to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and to early Islamic history. It is permitted, plenty of people find it valuable for reflection, and it is not required of you.

We say this at the top because it changes what you should expect. If a package sells Ziyarat as though it completes your Umrah, that is a misunderstanding of the rite, and it usually goes along with a tour that is worth less than it sounds.

Quick answer


Guided Ziyarat in Makkah and Madinah is included in every package. From £499pp for 7 nights.


Ziyarat is not one of the rites of Umrah. It is voluntary visiting, and your Umrah is complete without it.


The one site with a specific narrated virtue attached is Masjid Quba, and most tours rush it. There is a section on this below.


The Cave of Hira climb is genuinely hard and most tours only stop at the bottom. We tell you before you book, not after.

Ask about Ziyarat on WhatsApp

What “Ziyarat included” actually means

Three quite different things get sold under the same words. Work out which one you are being offered.

Version one: a guided tour, included

Air conditioned transport, a guide who can actually tell you what you are looking at, and enough time at each stop to be there rather than photograph it. Both cities. Cost inside the package price.

Version two: Ziyarat available

Meaning it exists and you can buy it locally, usually in cash, from whoever is at the hotel desk. Sometimes fine. Often more expensive than it should be, and the quality depends entirely on which driver you get.

Version three: the drive-by

This is the one to watch for. A minibus takes twenty people past four sites over three hours. At each one you are given ten minutes in a car park, somebody points at a hill, and you take a photograph.

It is not a scam. It is just worth much less than the word Ziyarat suggests, and it is what a great many included tours actually are.

The question that separates them

Ask how long the tour spends at Masjid Quba specifically. Anyone running a real tour will tell you the pilgrims get out, make prayer and take their time. Anyone running a drive-by will be vague, because at Quba the difference is obvious.

The Quba point, which most tours get wrong

If you take one thing from this page, take this.

What makes Quba different

Masjid Quba in Madinah is the first mosque built in Islam. The Prophet, peace be upon him, laid its foundation himself on arriving after the Hijra.

It is also the only site on a standard Ziyarat itinerary with a specific narrated virtue attached to praying there. The narration, reported by Ibn Majah, is that whoever purifies himself in his house, then comes to Masjid Quba and prays in it, will have a reward like that of an Umrah.

What that means practically

Two things, and both are actionable.

First, make wudu at your hotel before you leave, rather than at the mosque. The narration specifically mentions purifying at home. It costs you nothing and most tours never mention it.

Second, you need enough time to actually pray there, not ten minutes for a photograph outside. Two rak’ahs, unhurried, is the entire point of the stop.

How we run it

Quba is the longest stop on our Madinah Ziyarat, deliberately. Your guide tells the group to make wudu before leaving the hotel and explains why. Everybody gets out, everybody has time to pray.

It is a small thing and it is the difference between a tour and a coach trip.

One honest caveat

Different scholars discuss the conditions and the wording of this narration in different ways. We are a travel agency and not a body of scholars, so take the practical arrangement from us and take the religious detail from someone qualified. Your local imam is a better source than any Umrah website, including this one.

Makkah Ziyarat: what is on the tour

Typically a half day, three to five hours depending on traffic. Done after you have completed your Umrah, not while you are in Ihram.

Jabal al-Noor and the Cave of Hira

The mountain holding the cave where the first revelation came. It is the site everybody wants and the one most misunderstood.

Standard tours stop at the base. You see the mountain, you hear the history, you photograph it. Climbing to the cave is a separate undertaking and there is a section on it below, because people book this expecting a stroll.

Jabal Thawr

The mountain holding the cave where the Prophet, peace be upon him, and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, sheltered during the Hijra. Visited from the road. The climb here is harder than Hira and very few tours attempt it.

Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat

The Hajj sites, driven through rather than walked. Outside the Hajj season they are largely empty, which surprises people, and seeing them empty is a genuinely useful thing if you are planning Hajj later.

At Arafat you will see Jabal al-Rahmah, where the Prophet, peace be upon him, delivered the farewell sermon.

Jannat al-Mu’alla

The historic cemetery of Makkah. Among those buried there is Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her.

Masjid Aisha at Taneem

The Miqat for anyone already in Makkah who wants to perform a further Umrah. Practical rather than sightseeing, and worth knowing where it is if you plan to go again during your stay.

Masjid al-Jinn and Mount Abu Qubais

Included on some itineraries depending on time and traffic.

For the full history of each site

Our blog has a detailed Makkah Ziyarat guide covering the background of each place properly. This page is about what the tour actually delivers. That one is about what you are looking at.

Madinah Ziyarat: what is on the tour

Also typically a half day. Madinah Ziyarat is the better of the two in most people’s experience, because the sites are closer together, the walking is flat, and you can go inside several of them rather than viewing from a coach.

Masjid Quba

Covered above. The longest stop and the one to prepare for.

Masjid al-Qiblatain

The mosque where the direction of prayer was changed from Jerusalem to the Kaaba. You go inside.

Mount Uhud and the martyrs

The site of the Battle of Uhud, and the resting place of those who fell there including Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him. There is a viewing area and space to make dua.

Of everything on either itinerary, this is the stop people most often say they wanted longer at.

The Seven Mosques

A cluster of small historic mosques near the site of the Battle of the Trench. Worth knowing that several have been rebuilt or replaced over the years and the attributions of some are discussed differently by different historians. Your guide should say so rather than presenting everything as settled.

Masjid al-Jumu’ah

Where the first Friday prayer after the Hijra was offered. Near Quba and usually visited on the same run.

Jannat al-Baqi

The cemetery beside Masjid an-Nabawi, holding many of the Companions and members of the Prophet’s household, peace be upon him. It is within walking distance of the mosque rather than needing the coach.

Men may enter during opening hours to make dua for those buried there. Access arrangements for women vary and have changed more than once, so check the current position when you arrive rather than relying on anything written months earlier, including this.

Bir Ali, or Dhul Hulayfah

The Miqat for those travelling from Madinah to Makkah, about 9 km out. If your itinerary takes you to Madinah first you will stop here anyway to enter Ihram, so it may not appear on the Ziyarat tour separately.

Date farms and the market

Most Madinah tours finish at a date farm or the market. Commercial rather than religious, and enjoyable, and you will buy more dates than you intended.

Wadi-e-Jinn

Offered by many operators and worth being straight about. It is a place outside Madinah where a car left in neutral appears to roll uphill. It is a well-documented optical illusion caused by the surrounding landscape, of a kind found in many countries.

People enjoy it and there is no harm in going. It is not a religious site and it has no basis in the sources, so we do not present it as Ziyarat. If you want to go, ask and we will arrange it as what it is.

The Cave of Hira climb, which nobody warns you about

This is the section we most want people to read, because it is a safety matter rather than a preference.

What the climb actually is

Jabal al-Noor is a steep rocky mountain and the cave sits near the top. The ascent takes most reasonably fit people somewhere between one and two hours, and the descent is harder on the knees than the climb is on the lungs.

There are steps for parts of it and rough ground for others. There is limited shade. In summer the rock holds heat long after sunset.

Who should not attempt it

Anyone with a heart condition, breathing difficulty, or knee, hip or back problems. Most people over about sixty five. Anyone who does not walk regularly at home. Anyone travelling alone who has not told somebody where they are.

Every year there are medical incidents on that mountain, and heat is the common factor in most of them.

If you do go

Go at night or before Fajr, not during the day. Take considerably more water than you think you need. Wear proper shoes rather than sandals. Go with somebody. Allow four hours door to door rather than two.

What is included and what is not

Our Makkah Ziyarat visits the base of Jabal al-Noor. The climb is not part of the tour and no reputable operator includes it in a half-day group itinerary, because a coach cannot wait three hours for one person.

If climbing is important to you, tell us at booking. We will build it into your trip as a separate arrangement on a day that suits, rather than you discovering at the base that it was never going to happen.

The area at the foot of the mountain

A visitor and cultural development has been built at the base in recent years, so the experience there is more organised than it was a decade ago. Worth an hour even if you are not climbing.

Etiquette, and some cautions worth knowing

We are a travel agency reporting widely held guidance here, not issuing religious rulings. Where any of this matters to you, ask someone qualified.

The distinction most guidance draws

Visiting these places to reflect on what happened there is one thing. Seeking blessing from the stones, structures or soil themselves is treated very differently, and the second is what most scholarly guidance cautions strongly against.

In practice this means not touching, rubbing or kissing walls, pillars, rocks or grilles, not taking soil or stones away, and not tying cloth or leaving objects at any site.

At the cemeteries

The commonly taught position is that you make dua for those buried there, rather than directing any request to them. Face away from the graves when supplicating rather than toward them, and keep your voice down.

Why access is restricted at some sites

These same concerns are the reason the Saudi authorities limit or supervise access at several locations, and the reason some historic structures have been left unmarked. Whatever view you take of that policy, understanding the reasoning helps make sense of what you find when you arrive.

On authenticity

Not every site shown on a Ziyarat tour has a settled historical attribution. Some structures have been rebuilt several times, some identifications are debated among historians, and a few stops on some itineraries have very little behind them.

A good guide will tell you which is which. A poor one presents everything with the same certainty. We would rather our guides say honestly that something is uncertain.

Photography

Generally permitted outdoors at most sites and restricted or prohibited inside some. Follow the signage and the guide, and be careful about photographing other pilgrims without asking.

Practical arrangements

When it happens in your trip

After your Umrah, not before, and not while you are in Ihram. In Makkah that generally means day four or five of a ten night trip, once you have recovered from the flight and completed the rite.

How long it takes

Three to five hours per city on a standard half-day tour, depending on traffic and how many stops are on the itinerary. Full-day options exist and are worth it in Madinah more than in Makkah.

What time of day

Early morning, without exception, if you have the choice. Cooler, quieter, better light, and you are back at the hotel before the heat peaks. An afternoon Ziyarat in July is an endurance event.

What to wear

Normal modest clothing rather than Ihram. Comfortable shoes you can walk in and take off easily, because you will be entering several mosques.

With elderly travellers

Madinah Ziyarat is manageable for most older pilgrims. The sites are close together, the ground is flat, and there is somewhere to sit at each one.

Makkah Ziyarat involves more time in the vehicle and more uneven ground. It is doable, and we would suggest the shorter itinerary and an early start.

With children

Madinah again is the easier one. Uhud and the date farm hold their attention. Makkah is a lot of sitting in traffic looking at hills, which is a hard sell to an eight year old.

Language

Our guides work in English and Urdu. If your group needs Arabic or another language, tell us at booking and we will arrange what we can rather than promising on the day.

Private rather than group

Available if you want it, and worth it in two situations. If somebody in your party has mobility needs and cannot keep to a coach schedule, or if you want proper time at two or three sites rather than fifteen minutes at eight.

Per person, quad sharing, off-peak departures. Includes return flights, both hotels, the Saudi visa, all three transfers, and guided group Ziyarat in Makkah and Madinah. Ramadan, Christmas and school holidays price higher.

What is included at these prices

Group Ziyarat in both cities, air conditioned transport, and a guide working in English or Urdu. That is standard on every package rather than an upsell.

What costs extra

A private vehicle rather than the group coach. An extended or full-day itinerary. A separate arrangement to climb Jabal al-Noor. Wadi-e-Jinn if you want it. Anything you buy at the date farm, which will be more than you planned.

We quote each of these as a figure rather than saying available on request, because available on request usually means priced on the day.

How the price is set

We check comparable UK packages every month and sit £20 under the lowest we can find for the same nights and the same hotel tier. When comparing, check whether the other quote includes Ziyarat in both cities or only one, because one city is the common trick.

Tier detail: 3 star, 4 star, 5 star, and the luxury range.

How much time you need

Ziyarat is one of the better arguments for a longer package, because on a short trip it competes directly with time at the Haram.

How to book

  1. WhatsApp +44 7737 144 335 or call. Tell us your month, nights, how many people, and whether anyone has mobility limitations, because that decides group or private.
  2. Say if you specifically want to climb Jabal al-Noor. We build that in as a separate arrangement rather than pretending a half-day coach tour covers it.
  3. We send an itemised quote the same day. Flights, both hotels with distances in metres, the visa, transfers, and the Ziyarat itinerary for both cities.
  4. Pay a £99 deposit per person. Interest-free instalments on the balance when you book four or more months ahead.
  5. Book your ACWY vaccine. It is a visa requirement and needs at least ten days before you arrive.
  6. Send us passports, photos and ACWY certificates by WhatsApp.
  7. We submit the visa through Nusuk and track it to approval.
  8. The day your visa lands, book your Umrah permit and Rawdah permit in the Nusuk app. Those are separate from Ziyarat and nobody can sell you one.
  9. You travel. Your named agent is on WhatsApp throughout, and your Ziyarat is arranged before you land rather than at the hotel desk.

Balance due eight weeks before departure. More on what a full package contains on the flights and hotel page, and on the visa and permits on the visa page.

Ziyarat: 80 questions answered

Grouped by topic. Direct answer first, detail underneath where it earns its place. Where anything touches on religious guidance, we report what is widely taught and point you to someone qualified.

The basics

Is Ziyarat part of Umrah?

No. Umrah is Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i and shaving or shortening the hair. Ziyarat is voluntary visiting and your Umrah is complete without it.

So why do it?

Because standing where these events happened does something that reading about them does not. That is the honest reason, and it is enough.

Is Ziyarat included in your packages?

Yes, guided group Ziyarat in both Makkah and Madinah, in every package, at no extra charge.

Do all agencies include it?

No, and some include only one city. That is the most common gap when you are comparing quotes.

What does Ziyarat mean?

Visiting. In this context, visiting places connected to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and to early Islamic history.

How long does a Ziyarat tour take?

Three to five hours per city on a standard half day, depending on traffic and the number of stops.

When in my trip does it happen?

After you have completed your Umrah, not while you are in Ihram.

Do I need to be in Ihram?

No. Normal modest clothing, and comfortable shoes you can slip off at the mosques.

Is it worth it?

Madinah, almost always. Makkah depends on your expectations, because much of it is viewed from the vehicle.

The Quba question

What is special about Masjid Quba?

It is the first mosque built in Islam, and the only site on a standard itinerary with a specific narrated virtue attached to praying there.

What is the narration?

Reported by Ibn Majah, that whoever purifies himself in his house then comes to Masjid Quba and prays in it will have a reward like that of an Umrah.

What should I do differently because of it?

Make wudu at your hotel before you leave rather than at the mosque, and make sure your tour gives you time to actually pray there.

How long should the Quba stop be?

Long enough to get out, pray two rak’ahs unhurried, and sit for a moment. Ten minutes in a car park does not do it.

How do I check an agency runs it properly?

Ask how long their tour spends at Quba specifically. A real answer or a vague one tells you everything.

Are there conditions attached to the narration?

Scholars discuss the wording and the conditions in different ways. Take the practical arrangement from us and the religious detail from your imam.

Can women pray at Quba?

Yes, there is a designated women’s section.

Makkah sites

What is on the Makkah Ziyarat?

Jabal al-Noor, Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah, Arafat, Jannat al-Mu’alla and Masjid Aisha at Taneem, with others depending on time.

What is Jabal al-Noor?

The mountain holding the Cave of Hira, where the first revelation came.

Do we go into the cave?

Not on a standard tour. The coach stops at the base. Climbing is a separate undertaking.

What is Jabal Thawr?

The mountain holding the cave where the Prophet, peace be upon him, and Abu Bakr sheltered during the Hijra. Viewed from the road.

Why are Mina and Arafat empty?

Because they are Hajj sites and outside the Hajj season nothing happens there. Seeing them empty is genuinely useful if you plan Hajj later.

What is Jabal al-Rahmah?

The hill at Arafat where the farewell sermon was delivered.

What is Jannat al-Mu’alla?

The historic cemetery of Makkah. Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, is among those buried there.

What is Masjid Aisha?

The mosque at Taneem, the Miqat for anyone already in Makkah who wants to perform a further Umrah.

Is the Makkah tour a lot of driving?

Yes, more than Madinah. A good deal of it is viewing from the vehicle rather than getting out.

Can I see the Prophet’s birthplace?

The location is pointed out on some itineraries. There is no visitor access of the kind people expect.

Madinah sites

What is on the Madinah Ziyarat?

Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatain, Mount Uhud, the Seven Mosques, Masjid al-Jumu’ah and usually a date farm.

What is Masjid al-Qiblatain?

The mosque where the direction of prayer was changed from Jerusalem to the Kaaba. You go inside.

What is at Mount Uhud?

The site of the Battle of Uhud and the resting place of the martyrs including Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him.

Which stop do people want longer at?

Uhud, by a distance. If you are considering a private tour, this is the reason.

What are the Seven Mosques?

A cluster of small historic mosques near the site of the Battle of the Trench. Several have been rebuilt and some attributions are discussed differently by different historians.

What is Masjid al-Jumu’ah?

Where the first Friday prayer after the Hijra was offered. Near Quba, usually the same run.

Is Madinah Ziyarat better than Makkah?

Most people say yes. The sites are closer together, the walking is flat, and you go inside rather than viewing from a coach.

Do we visit the date farm?

Usually at the end. Commercial rather than religious, and you will buy more dates than you planned.

Jannat al-Baqi

What is Jannat al-Baqi?

The cemetery beside Masjid an-Nabawi holding many Companions and members of the Prophet’s household, peace be upon him.

Do I need the coach to get there?

No, it is within walking distance of the mosque, with the entrance on the eastern side.

Can women visit?

Access arrangements for women have varied and changed more than once. Check the current position when you arrive rather than relying on anything written in advance.

What are the opening times?

It opens for periods around certain prayers rather than all day, and the times shift. Ask at the hotel on the day.

What should I do there?

The commonly taught practice is to make dua for those buried there, keep your voice low and behave with restraint.

Can I take photographs?

Generally discouraged and sometimes prohibited. Follow the signage and the staff.

The Cave of Hira climb

Can I climb to the Cave of Hira?

Yes, but not as part of a half-day group tour. It needs its own arrangement.

How long does the climb take?

One to two hours up for most reasonably fit people, and the descent is harder on the knees than the climb is on the lungs.

Is it difficult?

Genuinely, yes. Steep rocky ground, steps in parts, limited shade.

Who should not attempt it?

Anyone with a heart condition, breathing difficulty, or knee, hip or back problems. Most people over about sixty five. Anyone who does not walk regularly at home.

When is the best time to climb?

At night or before Fajr. Not during the day, and certainly not in summer daylight.

What should I take?

Far more water than you think, proper shoes rather than sandals, and a companion. Allow four hours door to door.

Is the climb included in your package?

No, and no reputable operator includes it in a group half day, because a coach cannot wait three hours for one person. Tell us at booking and we arrange it separately.

Is there anything at the bottom of the mountain?

Yes, a visitor and cultural development has been built there in recent years. Worth an hour even if you are not climbing.

Can I climb Jabal Thawr instead?

It is harder than Hira and very few tours attempt it. Possible, with the same warnings doubled.

Etiquette and cautions

Is there anything I should avoid doing?

Most guidance cautions strongly against seeking blessing from the structures themselves. In practice that means not touching, rubbing or kissing walls, pillars or rocks, and not taking soil or stones away.

Why do some sites have restricted access?

Largely for that reason. The authorities limit or supervise access at several locations, and some historic structures are deliberately left unmarked.

How should I behave at the cemeteries?

The commonly taught position is to make dua for those buried there rather than directing requests to them, and to keep your voice down.

Are all the sites historically confirmed?

No. Some attributions are debated and several structures have been rebuilt more than once. A good guide says so rather than presenting everything with equal certainty.

Should I tie cloth or leave something at a site?

No. That practice is widely discouraged and you will see signs asking people not to.

Who should I ask about the religious side?

Someone qualified. We arrange travel. Your local imam is a better source than any Umrah website, this one included.

Is Wadi-e-Jinn a religious site?

No. It is a well-documented optical illusion of a kind found in many countries. People enjoy it and there is no harm in going, but it is not Ziyarat.

Will you take me there?

If you ask, yes, and we will describe it as what it is rather than dressing it up.

Practical

What time of day is best?

Early morning, without exception if you have the choice. Cooler, quieter, and you are back before the heat peaks.

What should I wear?

Normal modest clothing and comfortable shoes you can take off easily, because you will enter several mosques.

Is it suitable for elderly travellers?

Madinah, yes for most. Makkah involves more time in the vehicle and rougher ground, so take the shorter itinerary and go early.

Is it suitable for children?

Madinah holds their attention better. Makkah is a lot of sitting in traffic looking at hills.

Can I get a wheelchair-accessible tour?

Ask us. A private vehicle is usually the answer rather than the group coach.

What language are the guides?

English and Urdu. Tell us at booking if you need another and we will arrange what we can rather than promising on the day.

Can I do a private tour?

Yes. Worth it if somebody has mobility needs, or if you want real time at two or three sites rather than fifteen minutes at eight.

How much extra is private?

We quote it as a figure rather than saying available on request. Ask and you get a number.

Can I choose which sites to visit?

On a private tour, entirely. On the group tour it is a fixed itinerary.

Can I take photographs?

Outdoors generally yes, inside some sites no. Follow the signage, and ask before photographing other pilgrims.

Fitting it into your trip

How many nights do I need for both cities?

Ten is comfortable. On seven nights a Makkah tour costs you a day at the Haram, so most people do Madinah only.

If I can only do one, which?

Madinah. Closer sites, flat walking, and Quba is there.

Does Ziyarat compete with time at the Haram?

On a short trip, directly. That is one of the better arguments for ten nights over seven.

Can I do Ziyarat on a 21 day trip without rushing?

Comfortably, including the Hira climb if you want it. Nothing competes for the time.

Do I book it before I travel or there?

With us it is arranged before you land. Buying it at the hotel desk on day three usually costs more and the quality depends on which driver you get.

Money and booking

Is Ziyarat really free in your packages?

Group Ziyarat in both cities is included in the price rather than added. Private tours, extended itineraries and the Hira climb cost extra and we quote them as figures.

How much are your packages?

From £499 per person for 7 nights at 3 star, up to £825 for 14 nights at 5 star.

What is the deposit?

£99 per person, with the balance due eight weeks before departure.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes, interest free, when you book four or more months ahead.

What should I check in a competing quote?

Whether the Ziyarat covers both cities or only one. That is the usual gap.

Do you price match?

We price under. Send a written quote through Beat My Quote.

Do you arrange group Ziyarat for mosque parties?

Yes, and for a group of twenty or more we can run a dedicated coach on your own schedule rather than a shared one.

Where can I read more about the sites themselves?

Our blog has a detailed Makkah Ziyarat guide covering the history of each place. This page is about what the tour delivers.

And if climbing to the Cave of Hira matters to you, tell us at the start rather than discovering at the base that it was never on the itinerary.

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.

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.
