Affordable and Pilgrim-Friendly Umrah Packages from the UK

Different Types of Umrah Packages

We have categorised our Umrah deals into different classes. This division aims to facilitate the maximum number of pilgrims planning to do Umrah from the UK. Let’s explore them to help you select the right Umrah plan as per your schedule and budget.

Finance-Based Division

The cost of doing Umrah from the UK is often the deciding factor for many pilgrims. The moneywise division allows Umrah travel agencies to cater to more Muslims and let them fulfil one of the most sacred and holy obligations. Umrah offers are divided into three classes, such as 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star. The 3-star deals are the most basic, price-saving, and best ones if you are looking for cheap Umrah packages in 2024-2025. The 4-star plans are a perfect option when you want maximum value for money and a balance between comfort and luxury. The 5-star bundles are the most premium and high-end option; they come with the most lavish hotels, all 3 meals, guided tours, and intracity and intercity transportation. These deals are best when pilgrims want Umrah packages with flights, air tickets, visas, and hotels.

Purpose-Based Division

Our daily schedules are getting busier, and our lives are evolving too. This has also impacted the way Muslims perform Umrah, specifically those living in the UK. Now pilgrims look for Umrah bundles that are versatile and serve as vacation plans too. Let’s check out some of the Umrah deals offered by Muslims Holy Travel in this realm.

Couple Umrah Offers

They are a perfect way for couples to enjoy some alone time in the holy cities and perform Umrah. Couple Umrah plans come with high-end hotels, guided tours, and other facilities that can enhance your stay in the Kingdom. Moreover, if you are a British national, you can opt for a tourist visa and visit other places in the country like Riyadh, Jeddah,and Al Ula.

Holiday Umrah Plans

We also offer special and cheap Umrah deals planned around the UK holidays. The most sought-after options in this domain include Easter Umrah Packages, August Umrah deals (summer vacation in British schools), and December Umrah plans (Christmas holidays).

Honeymoon Umrah Plans

What could be more amazing and sacred than starting the new phase of your life in the holy land of Saudi Arabia? Many practicing and modern-day British Muslims opt for a honeymoon Umrah package or a couple Umrah deal to begin their married life. Performing Umrah together right after getting married builds love among the spouses with Almighty’s blessings and mercy.

Family Umrah Bundles

It is the wish of everyone to take their spouses, parents, and kids to perform Umrah. Muslims Holy Travel offers bespoke and cheap family Umrah packages that can be tailored as per number of pilgrims, budget, and preferences. Our family plans come with shared rooms that keep the overall Umrah package cost under control. Most family plans are all-inclusive Umrah deals that offer accommodation, foods, and transportation.

Group Umrah Deals

Another convenient and economical way to perform Umrah, group Umrah deals ensure that you don’t have to pay too much for pilgrimage. The hotels and transportation are shared in these packages, which helps tour operators get discounts from hotels, which they use to reduce prices.

Women-Only Umrah Packages

Muslim females can now go for Umrah without the company of a Mahram. This is a great opportunity for singles, widows, and divorced ladies. It is a golden chance for men as well who want to send their wives, mothers, sisters, or daughters to Umrah. We offer the best Umrah plans in the UK for women. However, before you plan your trip, please note that a lady in Iddat is not allowed to perform Umrah. These are Allah’s orders, and they must not be ignored at any cost. Even if you have already booked an Umrah package, you must delay it. Muslims Holy Travel works closely with such cases as we are emotionally connected to our customers. We know that these times are tough on women, and this is why we fully cooperate with them so they can find some solace by visiting the House of Allah at a suitable time.

Umrah Deals for the Disabled

We also offer Umrah services for individuals with special needs. It is generally tough for such people to go for Umrah, and hence they need someone to accompany them. There is no special difference in these packages, but we offer maximum discounts for disabled people. Our travel agents go out of their way to make their Umrah trip comfortable and relaxing. Most of our plans for disabled pilgrims are all-inclusive Umrah packages, so they don’t have to worry about anything during pilgrimage.

Time-Based Division

The time-based division of Umrah packages hinges on two dimensions. Let us explain both briefly.

Stay Duration

Umrah deals are generally 5-night, 7-night, 10-night, 12-night, 14-night, or 15-night plans. These are industry standards, but we at Muslims Holy Travel offer bespoke packages that pilgrims can alter as per their budget and likings. Our agents are experts at what they do, and you can upgrade or downgrade hotels to keep the cost of doing Umrah under control. For pilgrims that want to spend a whole month in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, we have customised all-inclusive Umrah packages 2024-2025. They come with flights, hotels, meals, intercity transfers, and guided tours.

Time of the Year

Umrah can be performed throughout the year, except the Hajj season. The Umrah deals are available for all 12 months of the English calendar and for special events like Easter and Christmas. If pilgrims want to get cheap Umrah packages, the best months of the year are September and after Ramadan. The holy month of Ramadan is crowded when it comes to Umrah. If you want the best Umrah packages for Ramadan, make sure you book your slot early and get impressive discounts.

The Importance of Umrah in a Muslim’s Life

Forgiveness

The Holy Prophet, in his countless hadiths, has highlighted Umrah as a powerful tool to obtain Allah’s clemency against all the previous sins. An Umrah trip is simply like washing one’s self from all the sins of the past.

Strengthening Faith

An Umrah pilgrimage is a great way to uplift and strengthen one’s faith in Allah. The Umrah rituals like wearing Ihraam, doing Tawaaf, Sa’ee, and shaving one’s head humble Muslims and deepen their connection with Allah.

Unity and Brotherhood

Millions of Muslims go for Umrah each year. Some 14 million pilgrims made their way to the holy cities for Umrah in 2023. Such massive crowds instill a feeling of brotherhood, equality, and unity among the pilgrims. They try to live up to the hadith that says all Muslims are brothers and no one is superior or inferior, but only in terms of his faith in Allah.

Charity and Goodness

An Umrah pilgrimage inspires Muslims to stay humble and help others. When you see how millions of Muslims bow in front of the Almighty, their personal pride and arrogance are wiped away. This helps them understand the pain of the poor and needy, and they ultimately start helping them and become better human beings.

Personal Evaluation

An Umrah trip is a chance to evaluate one’s self and see how deep and strong their faith is. When a pilgrim is in front of Allah’s home, his or her mind races so vividly that their whole life flashes in front of their eyes. It is the time when pilgrims repent for their sins and promise not to repeat them ever again and become good and practicing Muslims.

Umrah Rituals: A Short but Essential Guide

Umrah consists of 4 main practices. Some Umrah packages from the UK come with guide services. These packages are great for people doing Umrah for the first time in their lives. Here is a short guide to read before booking an affordable Umrah package online.

• Ihram: the act of wearing special clothing for Umrah. It consists of two pieces of white cloth for men and normal clothing for women. Ihram must be worn before reaching the relevant Miqat point from your departure location. Just a pro tip: wear Ihram before leaving home, as it is much easier and more convenient.
• Tawaf: it is the act of circling Kaaba 7 times, anticlockwise. The first round begins with Kaaba on your left and is completed when you reach the same point again.
• Sa’ee: the practice of running (only for men) from Safa to Marwa 7 times. It signifies the efforts of Hazrat Hajra (RA) with his son in search of water.
• Taqsir: the last essential ritual of Umrah involves cutting hair. For men, the requirement is a complete head shave, but for women, 1-2 inches are enough.

Top Ziarats in Mecca and Medina during the Umrah Trip

Most of our Umrah bundles come with ziarats of famous holy places in Mecca and Medina. A visit to these places is also part and parcel of all-inclusive Umrah packages. Some of the packages come with guide services. Let’s check out the best places for Ziarat in both holy cities.

Mecca Ziarats

• Cave of Thawr: Also known as the Cave of Soor, this famous place served as a shelter for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his close aide Abubakar (RA) at the time of their migration (Hijrat) from Mecca to Medina.
• Cave of Hira: This is the sacred place where Prophet Muhammad used to offer his prayers and seek guidance from Allah. Located on the slopes of Mount of Light (Jabl al Noor), the Holy Prophet (PBUH) received his first revelation of the Quran here. Pilgrims usually offer two Rakat prayers here.
• Mina: A famous spot during the Hajj season, as pilgrims camp here for two days after the day of sacrifice. Knowing that our beloved Prophet (PBUH) stayed here elevates the importance of this place.
• Masjid Al Khaif: A historical mosque, it is believed that Prophet Muhammad and his companions offered prayers here quite often.
• Masjid e Nimra: This is the mosque where the Holy Prophet (PBUH) delivered his first Hajj sermon. It is located in Mina and is a must-visit place to refresh your soul.
• Masjid e Jinn: It is quite an interesting place to visit. The tales surrounding this mosque reveal that Jinns listened to the Holy Quran being recited here and embraced Islam.
• Masjid e Fatah: A majestic place where the Holy Prophet (PBUH) stayed before his victory over Mecca.
• Maqbarah Al Malah: A cemetery where many famous companions and relatives of the Holy Prophet are buried. The notable names include Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib (the uncle of Muhammad (PBUH), and father of Hazrat Ali), Abd al-Muttalib (the prophet’s (PBUH) grandfather), Khadijah (the prophet’s wife), and Qasim (the Holy Prophet’s first son). Pilgrims can offer prayers for them and see their graves.

Medina Ziarats

Quba Mosque: It is the first mosque ever built in Islam. The initial structure was made from mud and palm leaves, but the present-day mosque is quite big as it has been renovated and expanded several times.

Masjid Al Qiblatain: The importance of this mosque is second to none, as the first congregational prayer was offered here after the change of direction from Jerusalem to Mecca. Built during the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), it is the only mosque that has two Qibla walls. No Muslim wants to skip a chance to offer prayers here, so make sure you get an all-inclusive Umrah package 2024 with ziarats.

Jannat Al Baqi: A famous graveyard where thousands of companions of the Holy Prophet are buried. The most prominent graves here include Aisha (the third wife of Prophet (PBUH)), Fatimah (the daughter of Muhammad (PBUH) and wife of Hazrat Ali), and Imam Hassan (Prophet’s (PBUH) grandson). The list is exhaustive; pilgrims go there and offer prayers for the companions. Uhud Mountain: the place where the historical battle of Uhud took place. Although the Muslims suffered defeat in this war, it showed Muslims the importance of following the orders of their leaders.

Technical Aspects to Consider Before Leaving for Umrah

Visa Requirements

British passport holders can get a visa on arrival at any of Saudi Arabia’s international airports. For Muslims living in the UK who don’t have a British passport, they’ll have to apply for Umrah visa before leaving. The concession is only for British passport holders. Muslims Holy Travel can help British passport holders and non-Britons alike to get an Umrah visa.

Vaccination

All pilgrims should be up-to-date with routine vaccination courses. Further, a certificate for the meningitis vaccine is a requirement for Umrah and Hajj pilgrims.

Company of a Mahram

It is misunderstood that women cannot travel alone to Saudi Arabia for tourism or Umrah. However, there is no such restriction in place at the time of writing. Women can travel to the holy cities without being accompanied by a male mahram. We offer bespoke deals for females travelling alone. Moreover, our couple Umrah packages are an ideal offer for newlyweds or spouses planning Umrah together.

IATA-Certification and ATOL-Protection

The International Air Transportation Association (IATA) certification guarantees the financial security of pilgrims in case of an unfortunate event. On the other hand, Air Travel Organiser's License (ATOL) protection safeguards passengers if their travel agency fails or leaves them alone abroad. Muslims Holy Travel, being IATA-certified and ATOL-protected, gives peace of mind to all Muslims buying Umrah plans from us.

Cost of doing Umrah from the UK

The price you pay to travel to Saudi Arabia for Umrah purposes can vary greatly based on the duration of the stay, types of hotels and flights, time of the year, and number of pilgrims. The best way to ensure that you don’t get overcharged is to take your time while selecting an Umrah package.
