Why Choose Our Family Umrah Packages?

Pilgrimage to Umrah as a family is a beautiful journey. But including the entire family can make travel more complicated. That is why our family packages have been designed to take the stress off you and allow you to focus more on the worship, not the worries.

• There are connecting and family-sized rooms available in Makkah and Madinah that are close to Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi!
• Free wheelchairs and baby cots are available upon request and at no extra cost.
• Consider the hotel options that are child-friendly and have flexible bedding configurations.
• Flexible payment plans allow you to book a room and pay the remaining balance at a later date.
• You can choose an airfare option that includes a return flight to a variety of major airports in the UK, including London (LHR/LGW/STN/LTN), Manchester, Birmingham, and Bradford.
• You will have 24-hour support before, during, and after your trip, which includes support that is available in Makkah and Madinah.
• You will have complete financial peace of mind through our ATOL and IATA protections.

What’s Included in Every Umrah Package

Family Umrah Package Pricing

These quotes are based on multiple factors like peak seasons during Ramadan and the December school holidays, lengths of stay, preferences for room sharing, and hotel star ratings.

Why prices vary:

• Season – The most expensive and sought-after times of travel include a majority of the UK school holidays as well as Ramadan. Traveling during the off-peak months of the Islamic calendar (e.g. Muharram, Safar, Rajab, etc.) tends to be cheaper.
• Hotel proximity – The cost of accommodation will be higher the closer they are to the Haram.
• Length of stay – Staying for 7 nights is the best value. Staying for longer (10–14 nights) could result in a reduction in the cost per night.
• Group size – Families booking triple or quad rooms tend to have a lower cost per person than a family of four, for instance.
• Booking lead time – Booking 2 to 4 months out is usually better than the more traditional last-minute bookings, especially for rooms that need to accommodate a family.

Choose Your Hotel Comfort Level

3-Star Economy

Basic accommodations on the edge of the Haram that are clean and comfortable. These options are best if you want to keep costs down and are good for families.

4-Star Standard

More space and better amenities, typically valued for being close to the holy sites. These hotels are good for larger family groups.

5-Star Luxury

These hotels have family suites and family-friendly buffets that allow families to have a more relaxed stay, which is especially valued for traveling families with young kids and family members who would need more assistance on a daily basis.

Flight Details

Your family’s comfort during Umrah is equally important to the accommodation. To ensure this, we have included the following details:

Departure Airports

We provide flexible departure family Umrah flight options to all major UK airports:

• London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Stansted (STN), Luton (LTN)
• Manchester (MAN)
• Birmingham (BHX)
• Leeds Bradford (LBA)
• Glasgow (GLA)

We can provide flights from other regional UK airports, which connect to major hubs.

Destination Airports

We can provide flights to Jeddah (King Abdulaziz International Airport – JED) and/or Madinah (Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport – MED). In most cases, your itinerary would have you flying into one city and out of the other, so that you do not backtrack between Makkah and Madinah.

Airline Partners

To ensure your family has the best experience, we have partnered with the following airlines:

• Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia)
• British Airways
• Qatar Airways
• Etihad Airways
• Turkish Airlines
• Emirates

Direct vs. Connecting Flights

• Direct flights to Jeddah (Heathrow) and (seasonally) to Manchester and Birmingham are the most convenient options, especially if you are traveling with young children and/or elderly family members.
• One-stop connecting flights: We provide one-stop flights from regional UK departure airports. These flights connect through major hubs (Istanbul, Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi) and provide a value option. Please keep in mind the increased travel time if traveling with young children.

Family-Friendly Flight Considerations

• Requests for seats together for family groups.
• Requests for assistance with infant/child fares and associated documentation.
• Requests for advice on the most suitable routing for families traveling with elderly or less mobile relatives.
• Requests for flexible departure dates aligned with UK school holiday dates (Easter, summer, December).

Umrah Visa Requirements for Families

We take care of the entire Umrah visa application for your family, so you don’t have to do anything on your own. Typical requirements include the following:

Standard Documentation (per traveller, including children)

• A passport with 6 months’ remaining validity post travel
• Recent passport-style photographs (plain white background)
• Certificate of Meningitis ACWY required for all pilgrims (of the relevant age, including children)
• Visa application (completed by our team)

Family-Specific Considerations

• Children/infants: typically joined to a parent visa application or issued separately depending on age — our team will clarify the age-related requirements at the time of booking.
• Women travelling with family: Saudi Umrah visa requirements for women have been liberalized in recent years; however, our team will clarify the current requirements based on age and travel circumstances.
• Elderly family members: Same core requirements; we can highlight additional health or mobility requirements, if applicable.

Processing

• For your entire family, we include the visa process in your package.
• Generally, visas have a limited validity period post-issuance (your travel consultant will clarify for your circumstances).
• To ensure we allocate the utmost care and attention to your pilgrimage, we recommend that all relevant travel documentation and requests be submitted to us as early as possible and, if possible, at the time of the travel request. Our ability to provide the same level of service during Ramadan and the travel peak periods is seriously affected by the time and effort that we are able to dedicate to your pilgrimage.

Accommodating Every Member of the Family

• For Young Children and Infants: Flexible room configurations and the provision of baby cots, as well as assistance with children’s travel documents.
• For School-Age Children: Family travel aligned with the school holidays, December, Easter, and Summer holidays.
• For Elderly Parents and Grandparents: Hotels located close to the Haram to reduce the walking distance, and wheelchair assistance for the Tawaf and Sa’i is provided free of charge.
• For Larger Family Groups: Reduced per-person pricing for extended and multigenerational families.

Book early to guarantee the best rates and let us know any requirements at the time of booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer larger family/group discounts?

Yes, families and groups sharing rooms have significantly lowered per-person pricing. The larger the group, the lower the cost.

How do you accommodate families with members who have a disability?
We also offer free use of wheelchairs and can choose hotels that are closer to the Haram to reduce the walking distance for elderly or less mobile family members.

What if a family member has mobility needs?
We offer free wheelchairs on request and can prioritise hotels closer to the Haram to minimise walking distance for elderly or less mobile family members.

What are the quietest and best-value months to do family Umrah?
The best months for value, with fewer Umrah travelers, are Muharram, Safar, and Rajab. December departures, and the Easter and summer school holiday Umrah, are the most popular family months for Umrah from the UK. However, these particular departures tend to sell out quickly, so we recommend booking early.

Is my family’s booking financially protected?
Yes, all flight packages are ATOL protected, and as an IATA agent, we provide you with additional protections.

Can I personalize my family’s Umrah package?
Yes, of course. A family’s Umrah package can be personalized by hotel rating, number of nights, number of guests, and departure airport.
