Ten nights in four-star hotels within walking distance of both Harams — the balance most pilgrims choose.
The package we recommend most often. Four-star hotels close enough to walk to the Haram in both cities, which matters more than almost any other factor when you are praying five times a day.
Ten nights is enough to settle into a rhythm without the trip becoming long. Triple-sharing rooms are standard, with double and single occupancy available for a supplement.

Airport meet and greet, transfer to the hotel, then Umrah with the group leader.
Umrah visas are issued electronically by the Saudi authorities. We prepare and submit the application with your package; issuance and timing remain the decision of the Saudi authorities and cannot be guaranteed by any agency.
Hotel distances quoted are walking distances to the nearest gate of the Haram, measured on foot rather than as the crow flies. Where a shuttle is provided instead, that is stated in the package.
Vaccination requirements for pilgrims change from season to season. We confirm the current requirement in writing before departure; please allow time for any vaccination that is required.
Rates rise sharply in Ramadan and during school holidays. Booking early is the single most effective way to control the cost of an Umrah trip.
