How Much Does Umrah Cost from the UK?

A complete Umrah package from the UK typically costs between £700 and £2,500+ per person in 2026, depending on the time of year, how long you stay, and your hotel standard. Budget 3-star packages usually start from around £700–£1,000, 4-star packages from around £1,000–£1,600, and 5-star packages from £1,600 upwards. Ramadan trips cost significantly more.

Below, we break down exactly what drives the price, so you know what to expect before you book.

What's included in the cost of an Umrah package?

Almost all-inclusive Umrah packages from the UK bundle the major costs into one price:

  • Return flights from a UK airport to Jeddah or Madinah
  • Umrah visa (or tourist eVisa) processing and Nusuk permits
  • Hotels in Makkah and Madinah
  • Airport transfers and intercity transport in Saudi Arabia
  • Ziyarat tours of the holy sites (on many packages)

Booking these separately almost always costs more and is far more complicated — which is why most UK pilgrims choose a package.

Umrah cost by hotel tier

The biggest single factor in your total is the hotel standard and how close it is to the Haram.

  • 3-star (budget): From around £700–£1,000 per person. Clean, comfortable hotels a short walk or shuttle from the Haram. Best value for first-time pilgrims and groups.
  • 4-star (standard): From around £1,000–£1,600 per person. Hotels closer to the Haram with more space and better facilities — the most popular family choice.
  • 5-star (luxury): From around £1,600–£3,000+ per person. Premium hotels within a short walk of the Haram such as the Makkah Clock Royal Tower and Fairmont Makkah.

How the season affects the price

When you travel, the price changes dramatically:

  • Ramadan is the most expensive and in-demand time, especially the last ten nights — expect prices well above the ranges above.
  • December and school holidays (Easter, February half-term) are busy and pricier.
  • Off-peak months outside Ramadan and Hajj are the cheapest, with quieter mosques and lower flight prices.

If your dates are flexible, travelling off-peak can save hundreds of pounds per person. See our guide to the best time of year to perform Umrah for the full picture.

A typical cost breakdown

For a rough sense of where the money goes on a mid-range trip:

  • Flights: £450–£750 return, depending on airline, route and season
  • Visa and Nusuk permits: roughly £100–£200
  • Hotels: the largest variable — driven by star rating and distance from the Haram
  • Transport: airport transfers and the Makkah–Madinah journey
  • Vaccinations: the meningitis (MenACWY) vaccine, often free on the NHS
  • Travel insurance: recommended, and sometimes included

How to keep your Umrah affordable

  • Travel off-peak rather than during Ramadan or school holidays.
  • Book early — flights and the best-value hotels fill up months ahead.
  • Consider a 3-star package and spend a little more time rather than money.
  • Travel as a group or family, where the per-person cost usually falls.
  • Get a live quote rather than relying on headline "from" prices, which vary by date.
