Choose the Right Umrah Package for Your Needs

3-Star Umrah Packages
3-star Umrah packages are perfect for those travelling on a budget or who want to stay longer (10 nights, 14 nights) in the holy land of Makkah and Madinah at affordable prices. We include well-known hotels near Masjid al-Haram. Moreover, we add visa processing assistance, delicious meals, ground transportation, and round-flight tickets in 3-star Umrah packages.
4-Star Umrah Packages
For 4-star Umrah packages, we add all the facilities mentioned in the 3-star Umrah packages section. We ensure you get the cleanest and most cosy hotel rooms just a few minutes from Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi. Therefore, we include accommodation for pilgrims in hotels near Masjid al-Haram in 4-star Umrah packages.
5-Star Umrah Packages
Booking a 5-star Umrah package with Bismillah Travel guarantees your comfort. The 5-star Umrah packages include Pullman Zamzam Makkah and Pullman Zamzam Hotel Madinah. The hotels are recognised for their excellent design, comfort, proximity to Haram and the Prophet's Mosque, delicious food and all the premium facilities.
Group or Solo Umrah Packages
Bismillah Travel collaborates with Muslim communities, religious groups, and local mosques in the UK, offering them great discounts and exclusive deals. Booking a group Umrah package can save you £100-£200 or more. Some people find going on a solo Umrah trip more feasible and easier. Travelling alone permits them to do everything according to their will, and they can feel the spiritual connection strengthening. We offer incredible Umrah deals for pilgrims travelling alone and virtually stay with them 24/7 so they can complete this enriching journey without any inconvenience.
Umrah Package Cost Guide
The most common question UK pilgrims ask is how much these packages will cost. Keep in mind that prices aren't always the same. They depend on the time of the year and the schedule.

Essential Requirements, Restrictions, and Policies for Performing Umrah
The government of Saudi Arabia and the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah have special restrictions, rules, and regulations that all pilgrims must respect and follow. They are established to guarantee pilgrims' safety and complete adherence to the Kingdom's religious and travel requirements.
Valid Passport
You should possess at least 6 months valid passport on the date of travel. And also make sure that everything on your passport is accurate, and ideally matches the information on your Umrah application.
Umrah Visa Requirements
Before travelling, you have to get an Umrah visa or a valid Saudi eVisa. Requirements include:
- A photograph (white background). This is the size of a passport.
- Filled visa application form.
- Evidence of a hotel reservation and the return flight.
- Travel insurance
Note: Tourist visa is now accepted for Umrah (except the Hajj season).
Age Restrictions
The child should be accompanied by an adult; no particular age limits are set except for children below 18. In addition, pilgrims of old age need to receive a full medical examination to have a hassle-free trip.
Vaccination Requirements
The safety of pilgrims also demands a number of vaccines from the Saudi government. Meningitis (ACWY) is a mandatory requirement, which is valid for a period of three to five years. You should have the vaccine shot at least 10 days before arrival in Saudi Arabia. Always ensure you carry a valid vaccination certificate (such as the ACWY "Yellow Book") for inspection at the border.
Women Travelling for Umrah
As per the current Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah regulations, there is no age restriction for women (18 and above) to perform Umrah without a Mehram (male guardian).
Travel and Accommodation Rules
Advance accommodation bookings in Makkah and Madinah must be made, which can be easily done through licensed Umrah agents. Hotel stays should be within your Umrah visa period, typically valid for 30 days. Overstaying may lead to penalties or deportation.
Entry During Hajj Season
Umrah is prohibited during the Hajj season (approx. 20 Dhul Qa'dah to 15 Dhul Hijjah). Ensure your Umrah travel dates are outside the Hajj blackout period unless you are performing Hajj with a separate Hajj visa.
Best Time for British Pilgrims to Perform Umrah
The best timing for the British muslims to make their Umrah journey depends on their priorities, such as weather in the region, spirituality, or finances.
Best Time for Weather (November – January)
If you want to perform Umrah in pleasant weather and are sensitive to heat, the winter months are ideal for you. Umrah in December is also a popular choice for many UK pilgrims.
- January: It is most commonly mentioned as the most comfortable month of the year, with a range of temperatures between 17 °C and 27°C.
- Conditions: Umrah is a physically demanding worship, so during cooler days, the long walks for tawaf and Sa'i become quite easy, especially for senior pilgrims and people with little children.
Best for Spiritual Reward (Ramadan)
Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to performing Hajj with Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It is the heartfelt desire of almost every Muslim to be the guest of Allah in this holy month.
- Challenges: This is the peak season and the most expensive season, so if you want to benefit from the blessings of Ramadan, book your Umrah slot now without making any further delay.
- Strategy: The initial 10 days of Ramadan are normally not as busy as the last 10 days. If you want to avoid the major crowd but also want to visit Makkah during Ramadan, utilise this time slot.
Best for Budget & Avoiding Crowds (July – October)
Some people from the UK want to perform their sacred journey during the times when there are fewer crowds, so they can completely focus on their ibadah. It is also the cheapest time of the year to perform Umrah.
- Cheapest Months: July and August (Muharram and Safar) often have the lowest package rates because the Saudi summer heat is extreme (often over 45°C).
- The "Perfect Balance": October is frequently recommended as the best overall month, offering a balance of improved, milder weather and manageable crowd levels.
- Post-Hajj Window: Umrah typically reopens a few weeks after Hajj, providing a quiet period with immediate hotel availability.
