British pilgrims have more choice than ever: British citizens can usually perform Umrah on the Saudi tourist eVisa outside the Hajj season, and there are flights to Jeddah and Madinah from London and other UK airports. This page explains how an Umrah package from the UK works — flights, visa, hotels and transport — so you can plan with confidence.
Flights from the UK to Jeddah and Madinah
Saudia flies non-stop from London Heathrow to Jeddah, and other airlines connect London, Manchester and Birmingham with Jeddah and Madinah via Istanbul, Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Connecting flights are often cheaper and let you fly into Madinah and home from Jeddah. Half-term and the Easter and summer holidays are the most expensive times to fly.
The widest choice of non-stop and connecting flights.
Popular for the North West and Yorkshire; good connections via the Gulf and Istanbul.
Convenient for the Midlands; usually one stop.
Umrah visa for UK travellers
British citizens can usually apply online for the Saudi tourist eVisa, which allows Umrah outside the Hajj season. UK residents with other passports may also qualify, depending on their nationality and residence. Rules change, so we check the current requirements for every traveller before you book. Rawdah visits in Madinah are booked in the Nusuk app.
14-day, 21-day or custom Umrah from the UK
Choose a 14-day package (13 nights: 7 in Makkah + 6 in Madinah), a 21-day package (20 nights: 11 + 9), or a custom Umrah around school holidays and annual leave. Many UK families take a shorter trip of 8–10 days; tell us your dates and we build the plan.
