Our recommendation: if your primary goal is affordability, book in Muharram or Safar and choose a 3-star package with indirect flights. If spiritual reward is the priority, book Ramadan 2027 as early as possible – demand far exceeds supply, and prices rise sharply from October 2026 onwards.

Step-by-Step Guide to Performing Umrah
Understanding the Umrah rituals before you travel helps you perform them with confidence and devotion. Umrah consists of four core acts, performed in the following order:
Enter the state of Ihram
Ihram must be assumed at the Miqat (the boundary designated by the Prophet, peace be upon him). Men wear two unstitched white garments (the rida and the izar). Women wear their normal modest clothing with face and hands uncovered. Upon entering Ihram, you make the intention (niyyah) and recite the Talbiyah: Labbayk Allahumma labbayk.
Tawaf – Circumambulate the Kaaba
Tawaf involves walking around the Holy Kaaba seven times in an anti-clockwise direction, beginning and ending at the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad). Each circuit is called a shawt. During Tawaf, recite duas and dhikr. Upon completing seven circuits, offer two rakah of Salah at Maqam Ibrahim if possible.
Sa'i – Walk between Safa and Marwah
Sa'i commemorates the actions of Hajar (may Allah be pleased with her), who ran between the hills of Safa and Marwah in search of water for her son Ismail. Pilgrims walk seven times between these two hills, beginning at Safa. It is Sunnah to drink Zamzam water after completing Sa'i.
Halq or Taqseer – Cut or shave the hair
Men shave their heads (Halq) or shorten their hair significantly (Taqseer). For women, Taqseer is required – cutting a small amount from the end of the hair. This act completes the Umrah and the pilgrim exits the state of Ihram.

How early should I book Umrah packages from UK?
We recommend booking Umrah packages from UK at least 3–6 months in advance. For peak periods such as Ramadan 2027, December 2026, and Easter 2027, we advise booking 6–9 months ahead. Early booking secures the best hotel rooms closest to the Haram and the lowest flight prices.
What documents do I need for an Umrah visa from the UK?
To apply for an Umrah visa from the UK, you need: a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, recent passport-sized photographs, a meningitis vaccination certificate dated within 10 days of departure, confirmed flight tickets and hotel vouchers (provided by us), and proof of relationship for family travel. Non-UK passport holders also need a valid UK residency permit.
Can I perform Umrah on a tourist visa in 2026?
Yes. UK citizens can perform Umrah on a Saudi tourist visa in 2026. You will need to obtain an Umrah permit through the official Nusuk app to access the Rawdah and perform the pilgrimage. Our team will guide you through the permit process if you choose this option.
How many days are needed for Umrah from the UK?
A standard Umrah trip from the UK takes 7 to 14 days, including travel time, 4–7 nights in Makkah, and 2–4 nights in Madinah. The Umrah rituals themselves (Tawaf, Sa'i, and Halq) can be completed in a few hours, but most UK pilgrims choose longer stays for additional worship, rest, and Ziyarat visits.
Do your Umrah packages include transport between Makkah and Madinah?
Yes. All our 4-star and 5-star all inclusive Umrah packages include intercity transport between Makkah and Madinah by luxury coach or car. For 3-star packages, this transport can be added at an additional charge. Private transport and the Haramain high-speed train option are also available on request.
What is the best time to perform Umrah from the UK?
The best time to perform Umrah depends on your priorities. Ramadan (February–March 2027) offers the greatest spiritual reward. December and Easter align with UK school holidays and are ideal for families. For the lowest prices and smaller crowds, the months of Muharram, Safar, and Shawwal (approximately July–October 2026) are the most affordable and peaceful times to travel.
Do you offer solo female or women-only Umrah packages from the UK?
Yes. Islamic Travel Agency offers women-only and solo female Umrah packages for UK pilgrims. These packages include travel in supervised groups, female guides, and accommodations arranged with women's privacy in mind. Solo female pilgrims under 45 are required to travel with a Mahram or in an organised group under current Saudi regulations.
What is the difference between Umrah and Hajj?
Umrah is a voluntary Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah that can be performed at any time of year except during the days of Hajj. Hajj is the obligatory annual pilgrimage performed during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah (8th–13th) and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, compulsory for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. Umrah is often referred to as the lesser pilgrimage.
Are there hidden charges in your Umrah packages?
No. Islamic Travel Agency operates a fully transparent pricing policy. The price quoted to you covers everything listed in the package inclusions. There are no booking fees, no administration charges added at checkout, and no hidden costs. If you choose to add optional extras such as meals or private transport, these are quoted separately and only added with your agreement.
