Blackburn Umrah Packages

Serving Blackburn's Muslim Community for Decades

Over a third of Blackburn with Darwen's population is Muslim. The community is spread across Bastwell, Audley, Wensley Fold, Shear Brow, Ewood and Whalley Range. There are more than 48 Mosques in the borough. Thousands of local families perform Umrah every year. The majority of them book through agents who have never visited Blackburn and have no connection to the community here.

When you call Bismillah Travel, you are speaking to someone who knows this area. We know that families near the Jaame Masjid on Cumberland Street, Makki Masjid on Bicknell Street, Masjid Anisul Islam on Leamington Road and Jamia Syeda Fatima Al-Zahra on Bank Lane all have different needs when it comes to group size, travel dates and budget. We know that the imam at your local masjid is often involved when a family makes the intention to travel. That kind of local knowledge is not something an agent in London can replicate. We aim to provide:

• Clear package information
• Straightforward pricing
• Practical hotel advice
• Assistance with travel documents
• Flexible options for families and groups
• Support for elderly travellers

The Lancashire Council of Mosques is based on Norwich Street in Blackburn. We work within the same community structure. We have arranged Blackburn Umrah trips for groups from Mosques across the borough, and we understand how those groups are organised, what they need and what they expect.

Multilingual Customer Support

Our team speaks Urdu, Punjabi and English. Call, WhatsApp or come into the office, and you will deal with someone who understands exactly what you are asking.

Multi-generation families

We arrange interconnecting rooms, wheelchair assistance at Manchester Airport and at the Haram and itineraries that work across different ages and energy levels. If you are taking a parent or grandparent on their first Umrah, please tell us at the time of booking. We will arrange a hotel closest to the Haram and ensure nothing on the ground requires them to walk farther than they can manage.

Mosque groups from Blackburn

Groups of 10 or more travel with a dedicated coordinator, shared flights and one point of contact for all logistics. Per-person pricing is lower than the price for individual bookings. If your committee at Makki Masjid, Ghousia Islamic Centre, Masjid-e-Raza or Masjid Anisul Islam is organising a group trip, call us for a group quote.

First-time pilgrims

We run pre-departure sessions in Blackburn covering Ihram, Tawaf, Sa'i and the duas for each stage. Particularly useful for families with younger members making the journey for the first time. You will not arrive in Makkah unsure of what to do.

Ramadan Umrah from Blackburn

Our fastest-selling packages every year. Demand from Blackburn families for Ramadan Umrah is high, and spaces fill up early. Ramadan Umrah packages for 2027 are now open for enquiry. Book early.

School holiday packages

December and Easter are our second and third-busiest booking periods. Blackburn families use school holidays to make the trip work around their children's term times. We schedule packages around these windows every year. If you are planning to travel during a holiday period, speak to us early to secure your preferred dates.
