Can a Woman Go for Umrah Without a Mahram?
Yes. In October 2021, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah removed the mahram requirement for women performing Umrah. A woman of any age may now travel for Umrah without a male guardian, provided she travels safely, and joining an organised women's group is the most straightforward way to do this.
Our groups are led by experienced female group leaders. You are never left to manage flights, transfers or hotel check-ins on your own. If this is your first Umrah, we also guide you through the rituals step by step.

Why Sisters Choose Our Women's Group Umrah
You are never alone. From the moment you meet the group at the UK airport to the moment you land back home, you travel together. Roommates are matched with other sisters in the group, so solo travellers pay no lonely single-room prices unless they want their own room.
Everything is halal and female-friendly. Hotel floors, dining and transport are arranged with women's comfort and privacy in mind.
We are fully protected. Islamic Travel trades under Travixum Ltd, registered in England and Wales, with ATOL protection (ATOL 12192). Your money and your booking are safe.
Real people, real office. We are based in Stratford, London. You can call us on 0203-970-4500, message us on WhatsApp, or visit us in person before you book.
When Is the Best Time for a Women's Group Umrah?
Our February and November groups are popular because the weather in Makkah is cooler and the Haram is less crowded than in Ramadan. If you would rather travel during the school holidays, our Christmas Umrah Packages from UK are a good fit for mothers travelling with daughters, as flights line up with the winter break.
And if you would like to extend your trip after Umrah, ask us about our UK Halal Holidays family-friendly breaks with halal food, prayer facilities and women-friendly resorts.
