Leicester Umrah Packages
Leicester Umrah packages are ready-to-book pilgrimages for families and groups across Leicestershire, combining flights from Birmingham Airport — where Saudia flies direct to Jeddah on selected dates — with hotels in Makkah and Madinah and every transfer, under ATOL. Prices begin at £350 per adult (four sharing) for five nights on the ground only; add flights and a week begins at £500. Choose a ready-made package from Economy to 5 Star, or have a short break or a long stay built around your dates.
UMRAH FROM LEICESTER
What Comes With Leicester Umrah Packages?
Leicester Umrah packages put five things in one ATOL-protected price: the return flight, a hotel in Makkah and one in Madinah, transport inside Saudi Arabia, and support from booking to your flight home. With flights, a week starts at £500 per adult when four share a room. The entry rules for each passport are covered in the Saudi entry and Umrah requirements guide.
- Flights
- Return from Birmingham Airport as standard, or from any UK airport on request.
- Package price
- The Saudi visa cost is included in your Umrah package price. We do not sell visas separately, and visa approval is decided by the Saudi authorities. Pilgrims with other passports are welcome too: the requirements for your nationality are confirmed in your quote.
- Hotels
- Economy, 3, 4 and 5 Star and Luxury, each package naming both hotels and their distance from the mosque.
- Ground transport
- Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah transfers: shared on Economy and 3 Star, private on 4 Star and above.
- Guidance
- A group or Umrah guide on most packages, and a scholar-led guide on the 5 Star rows.

Which Airport Is Closest to Leicester for Umrah?
East Midlands Airport is closest, about 30 minutes away, but it flies mainly holiday routes in Europe and North Africa, so most Leicester pilgrims fly from Birmingham Airport, about 45 minutes away. From Birmingham, Saudia flies direct to Jeddah on selected dates; on other dates you change planes at a hub such as Istanbul, Doha or Dubai, and your quote names the airline. For a direct Saudia flight on more dates, Heathrow is about two hours by road. Every direct flight from the UK lands in Jeddah, not Madinah.
ACROSS LEICESTERSHIRE
Can You Get a Car From Loughborough, Oadby or Hinckley to Birmingham Airport?
Yes. For an extra charge shown in your quote, a car or coach can pick you up in Leicester, Loughborough, Oadby, Wigston, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray or Market Harborough and drive you to Birmingham, East Midlands or Heathrow. It is not part of the package price unless you add it.
LEICESTER, MONTH BY MONTH
When Should Leicester Pilgrims Go for Umrah?
November, January, June and September are the calm, lower-priced months; the October half-term is cooler than summer, while Ramadan, Christmas and the summer holidays fill first. Leicester City Council's school dates differ from most of England: half-term is 19 to 23 October 2026, the Easter holidays run from 22 March to 2 April 2027, and the summer holidays begin on 12 July 2027. Before Hajj 2027, the last entry is 23 March and you must be home by 7 April. No date has been announced yet for Umrah to reopen after Hajj 2027; our estimate is early June 2027. The rows below are for Ramadan, Easter, Leicester's October half-term, May and July, each with its hotels, meals, inclusions and every price by age and room. Every month has its own page in the month tiles.
The packages in this table fly from Birmingham Airport, under ATOL 74904, and include both hotels, transfers in Saudi Arabia and local taxes. The Saudi visa cost is included in your Umrah package price. We do not sell visas separately, and visa approval is decided by the Saudi authorities. Each row shows what it includes and its prices for adults, teenagers, children, infants and single rooms.

5, 4 AND 3 STAR
Which 5 Star, 4 Star and 3 Star Umrah Packages Fly From Leicester?
Every tier flies from Birmingham Airport: 5 Star, 4 Star, 3 Star and Economy packages at 7, 10 and 14 nights are the cards above. The stars are each hotel's official Saudi Ministry of Tourism rating, and the pages for 3 Star Umrah journeys, 4 Star Umrah journeys and 5 Star Umrah trips list every hotel in each tier.
WHERE YOU STAY
What Are the Best Hotel Options for Leicester Pilgrims?
The best hotel is the closest one your budget allows: in Madinah, Dallah Taibah and Elaf Taiba are 50 m from the Prophet's Mosque; in Makkah, Pullman ZamZam stands next to the Haram. Every hotel named here is in one of the Leicester rows or cards above, and each package's details show its licence and rating.
Closest in Madinah
Dallah Taibah and Elaf Taiba, official 4-star, 50 m from the Prophet's Mosque (the October row and the 4 Star cards).
Value in Madinah
Al Aqeeq Al Rawda at 220 m, New Madinah Hotel at 290 m and Emaar Al Mektan at 300 m, all official 3-star (the 3 Star cards and the July row).
Next to the Haram
Pullman ZamZam Makkah, official 4-star (the October row); among the cards, Elaf Kinda Hotel is 200 m away (4 Star 7 Nights).
5 Star in Makkah
Jabal Omar Hyatt Regency at 250 m, Jabal Omar Marriott and InterContinental Dar Al Tawhid at 300 m, Makarem Ajyad at 350 m.
Lower prices in Makkah
Al Ebaa at 500 m and Emaar Grand at 750 m keep the 3 Star and Economy packages affordable.
A FAMILY CHOICE
Ten Nights in 4 Star or Two Weeks in 3 Star: Which Suits a Leicester Family?
They cost almost the same: ten 4 Star nights are £630 per adult with four sharing, with breakfast and a guide, and fourteen 3 Star nights £665, room only. Choose 4 Star for less walking and more included, 3 Star for four extra days. The table adds both up for real families; family Umrah journeys lists every child and infant rate.

Children counted here are 2 to 11 with their own bed; teenagers, a child in the parents' bed and babies cost less (see each package page).
FIRST UMRAH
What Do First-Time Pilgrims From Leicester Need to Know?
Five things catch first-timers out: the Rawdah booking, the vaccine, Zamzam on the way home, spending money and travelling as a woman.
Nusuk and the Rawdah
Download the Nusuk app before you fly; a prayer slot in the Rawdah at the Prophet's Mosque is booked in it, and our guides show groups how.
Meningitis ACWY
Saudi Arabia requires the ACWY vaccine for Umrah; a Leicester GP surgery or travel clinic can give it, ideally weeks before you travel.
Zamzam and baggage
Saudia carries Zamzam in addition to your bags; other airlines count it inside the allowance printed on your ticket.
Spending money
Room-only packages leave every meal to you, so budget more for food; half and full board packages need little beyond shopping and gifts.
Women without a Mahram
Women aged 18 and over can travel without a Mahram, alone or in a ladies' group led by a woman.
MADE FOR YOU
Can You Change a Leicester Umrah Package?
Yes: swap a hotel, move nights between Makkah and Madinah, start in Madinah, add meals or wheelchair access, and pick your dates, each priced before you pay. See build your own Umrah, or compare 7 days Umrah from the UK, a 10-day Umrah break and a 14-day Umrah break; fifteen nights and a full month are priced on the last of these.
WHO AND WHERE
Who Travels for Umrah From Leicester With Us?
