7 Days Umrah Packages from £740

Is 7 Days Enough for Umrah?

Yes, 7 days is enough to complete every Umrah ritual and visit both holy cities. The Umrah pilgrimage itself — entering Ihram, performing Tawaf (7 circuits of the Kaaba), walking Sa'i (7 lengths between Safa and Marwa), and shaving or trimming the hair — takes 3 to 5 hours on an average day. The remaining 6 days cover prayers at Masjid al-Haram and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, ziyarat visits, and personal ibadah.

A 7-day Umrah package is the shortest itinerary Ahad Travel sells and fits a single week of annual leave. Pilgrims who want more time in each city can choose the 10 Nights Umrah Package (from £886), 12 Nights (from £810), or 14 Nights (from £733). The 7-day Umrah trip suits first-time pilgrims, working professionals with limited leave, and families with children in school.

How the 7 Nights Are Split

Every 7 day Umrah package splits as 4 nights in Makkah and 3 nights in Madinah. Makkah receives the extra night because the Umrah rituals — Tawaf, Sa'i, and the du'a at Maqam Ibrahim — take place at Masjid al-Haram. Most pilgrims fly into Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), transfer to Makkah first (roughly 80 km or 50 miles, about 1 hour by road), complete Umrah, and then travel to Madinah by road or by Haramain High Speed Railway (approximately 2.5 hours by train).

The 4 Makkah nights cover 3 main activities: completing Umrah on day 1, performing voluntary Tawaf and prayers at Masjid al-Haram on days 2 and 3, and visiting ziyarat sites in Makkah (Jabal al-Noor, Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah, Arafat) on day 4, if ziyarat is included in the package.

The 3 Madinah nights cover 4 main activities: prayers at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, visiting Rawdah ash-Sharifah (the area between the Prophet's tomb and the pulpit), visiting Masjid Quba (the first mosque in Islam, roughly 3.5 km or 2.2 miles south of the Prophet's Mosque), and the Uhud battlefield. A guided ziyarat circuit of Madinah covers all major historical sites in a single half-day tour.

What Is Included in a 7 Day Umrah Package?

Every 7 day Umrah package includes 5 standard items: return flights from a UK airport, Saudi visa processing, a named hotel in Makkah, a named hotel in Madinah, and airport transfers on arrival and departure. Every payment is bonded under ATOL 74904. 3 additional items — ground transport between cities, a dedicated Umrah guide, and ziyarat tours — are included on selected packages.

Umrah Visa

Saudi visa processing is included in every 7 day Umrah package. Ahad Travel handles the full application with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah through the Nusuk platform. Visa types across the 3 packages include waiver visa, tourist visa, and Umrah visa. You provide your passport and photograph — Ahad Travel submits the application and returns the approved visa before departure. Processing takes 5 to 10 working days under normal conditions.

Umrah Transport

Airport transfers on arrival and departure are included in every 7 day Umrah package. A private driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel in Makkah. Ground transport between Makkah and Madinah (roughly 420 km or 261 miles, about 4 hours by road) is included on 3 of the 3 packages. The journey can also be made by Haramain High Speed Railway in approximately 2.5 hours. Wheelchair-accessible ground arrangements and elderly-friendly transport options are available on request.

Umrah Tickets

Return flights from the UK to Saudi Arabia are included in every 7 day Umrah package. Ahad Travel books flights from 7 UK airports: London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Airlines include Saudia, British Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines. Direct flights from London Heathrow (LHR) to Jeddah cover roughly 4,800 km (2,980 miles) in about 6 hours. Connecting flights from regional airports add 3 to 6 hours depending on the stopover. Book Umrah flights 8 to 12 weeks before departure for the best fares.
