What Is Included in an Umrah Package Without Flights?
Every land-only package we offer includes the essentials you need for a smooth pilgrimage:
- Umrah visa processing — we handle your application from start to finish. You can read the full requirements on our Umrah Visa from UK page.
- Hotel accommodation — 3, 4 and 5-star hotels in Makkah and Madinah, with options within walking distance of Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi.
- Airport transfers — pick-up and drop-off at Jeddah or Madinah airport, timed around your own flight details.
- Transport between the holy cities — private car, shared coach or Haramain high-speed train, depending on your package.
- Optional Ziyarat tours — guided visits to historic Islamic sites in both Makkah and Madinah.
- 24/7 UK-based support — a real person on the phone or WhatsApp throughout your trip.
The only thing missing is the flight — and that is the point. You book it, we do the rest.
Why Choose an Umrah Package Without Flights?
- You often save money. Flights make up a large share of any package price. If you can find a cheaper fare yourself, use air miles, or catch a sale, a land-only package usually works out cheaper than an all-inclusive deal.
- You choose your airline and route. Prefer a direct flight from Heathrow? Want to fly from Manchester, Birmingham or Glasgow? Booking your own flight means no compromises on timings, stopovers or airlines.
- Total flexibility on dates. Extend your stay, arrive early, or combine Umrah with a visit to family abroad. Your package dates adjust around your flights, not the other way round.
- Ideal for groups arriving separately. If family members are flying in from different cities or countries, a package without flights lets everyone meet in Makkah with the same hotel and transport arrangements.

When Is the Best Time to Book a Land-Only Umrah?
You can perform Umrah at any time of year outside the Hajj period, but some seasons are especially popular with UK pilgrims:
Easter school holidays: Easter Umrah packages are in high demand because families can travel without children missing school, and the weather in Makkah and Madinah is still comfortable. Flights sell out quickly over Easter, so booking your land arrangements early gives you the best hotel choice.
December and the winter break: cooler temperatures and Christmas holidays make this one of the busiest periods of the year. See our December Umrah Packages from UK for winter dates.
Ramadan: performing Umrah in Ramadan carries immense reward, and the atmosphere in the Haram is unlike any other time of year. Our UK Ramadan Umrah Packages cover the first ten days, last ten days and full-month stays.
Whichever season you choose, a package without flights lets you grab flight deals the moment they appear, then match your hotels and visa around them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Umrah package without flights?
It is a land-only Umrah package that includes your visa, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, airport transfers and transport between the holy cities. You arrange your own flights to Saudi Arabia, which gives you full control over airline, route and price.
Are Umrah packages cheaper without flights?
They can be. Because you only pay for the ground services, the package price is lower, and if you find a good flight deal or use air miles, your total trip cost is often less than an all-inclusive package.
Is the Umrah visa included in a package without flights?
Yes. We process your Umrah visa as part of every land-only package. You simply provide your passport copy and a photo, and we handle the application for you.
Can I book my own flights and still get airport transfers?
Yes. Once your flights are booked, send us your arrival and departure details and we will arrange your airport pick-up and drop-off to match your flight times.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks before travel, and earlier for peak periods such as Easter, December and Ramadan, when hotels near the Haram fill up fast.
Can I customise my hotel or the length of stay?
Yes. Every package is tailored. Choose 3, 4 or 5-star hotels, split your nights between Makkah and Madinah however you like, and stay for as long as your visa allows.
