Package Overview

Umrah is one of the most spiritually significant journeys a Muslim can undertake - and for UAE residents, the proximity to the Holy Cities of Makkah and Madinah makes it accessible year-round. This five-night package provides everything you need: return air tickets from the UAE, hotel accommodation close to Masjid Al-Haram, intercity transport between Madinah and Makkah, and the guidance of an experienced Umrah-familiar team throughout.

The itinerary follows the traditional sequence: arriving in Madinah first for Ziyarah of the Prophet's Mosque and the historic sites of the city, then travelling to Makkah for the Umrah rituals - Ihram, Tawaf, and Sa'i. Our local ground team in both cities ensures you are met at the airport, transferred safely, and have a point of contact at all times.

Hotels are selected for proximity to the Haram: within a 300-700 metre walk in Makkah, within walking distance of the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. We also provide a pre-departure briefing on Umrah rituals, ihram requirements, and what to bring - particularly important for first-time performers. This package is available year-round with additional Ramadan-specific arrangements on request.

This holiday package from UAE is designed for travelers looking for Makkah & Madinah, Saudi Arabia experiences with flexible travel dates, hotel options, and guided support.
