An Umrah package from the UAE typically bundles return flights to Jeddah or Madinah, Umrah visa processing, hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, Haramain high-speed train or coach transfers between the two cities, and guided Ziyarat tours to historic sites — from AED 1,499 per person for a budget bus package, or from AED 3,799 for a 4-star, 5-night package with hotels within walking distance of the Haram. 5-star packages with rooms directly facing Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi start from around AED 5,499. All UAE residents need an Umrah visa, and it's best applied for at least 2 to 3 weeks before travel.
One sacred journey, four ways to travel — from a budget-friendly bus package, to 3-star, 4-star and premium 5-star options with rooms facing the Haram. Every package includes flights or coach travel, Umrah visa, hotels and Haramain transfers, or we'll build a custom itinerary for your family or group.

Here's how your 5-night Umrah journey flows. Flights, Umrah visa, hotels, Haramain train transfer and guided Ziyarat tours are included throughout.
Depart on a direct flight from the UAE. Male pilgrims enter the state of Ihram before boarding; female pilgrims may do so from home. On arrival, transfer by coach to your hotel in Madinah or Makkah, depending on your chosen routing. Overnight as per itinerary.
Free time to pray at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet's Mosque, and visit the Rawdah where permitted. Your guide briefs the group on the etiquette and history of the mosque. Overnight in Madinah.
A guided Ziyarat tour to the historic sites of Madinah, including Quba Mosque — the first mosque built in Islam — Masjid Qiblatain, and Mount Uhud, followed by free time for prayer and reflection. Half-day guided tour
Transfer to Madinah station for the Haramain high-speed train to Makkah. On arrival, check in to your hotel, enter the state of Ihram if not already done, and perform your Umrah rites — Tawaf around the Kaaba, Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and Halq or Taqsir. Overnight in Makkah.
A guided Ziyarat tour to the historic sites around Makkah, including Jabal al-Noor and the Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, and Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat, with time for personal worship at the Haram throughout your stay. Half-day guided tour
Enjoy final prayers at Masjid al-Haram, check out of your hotel, and transfer to Jeddah Airport for your return flight to the UAE.
Umrah can be performed year-round, but the experience — and the price — shifts significantly between Ramadan, the months just before and after it, and the regular calendar year.
| Period | Crowds | Weather in KSA | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramadan | Very high | Varies by year | Maximum spiritual reward, Taraweeh at the Haram |
| Shawwal & Dhul Qadah | Moderate | Cooler months | Quieter Haram right after Ramadan, easier availability |
| Winter (Nov–Feb) | Moderate to high | Mild 15–25°C | Comfortable weather for Ziyarat and long prayers |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | Lower | Very hot, 40°C+ | Lowest prices and shortest queues at the Haram |
The month right after Ramadan sees a noticeable dip in crowds and prices compared to Ramadan itself, while the spiritual atmosphere in both holy cities remains strong.
Mild weather makes this a popular window for families and older pilgrims who want to avoid the summer heat during long hours of worship.
The most rewarded time to perform Umrah according to Islamic tradition, but also the busiest and most expensive — book several months ahead.
All UAE residents travelling for Umrah need a valid Umrah visa, issued by the Saudi authorities and typically arranged through your travel agent as part of the package. Processing is usually fast, but we recommend applying early during Ramadan and peak season.
Most applications are processed within 2 to 3 working days, though this can extend during Ramadan and other peak periods.
Direct flights from Dubai to Jeddah or Madinah take approximately 3 hours. Saudi Arabia is 1 hour behind UAE time.
Saudi Arabia uses the Saudi Riyal (SAR). Cards are widely accepted in hotels and malls, with cash preferred at smaller shops.
Original passport valid for 6+ months, UAE residence visa valid for 4+ months, a passport-sized photo, and a copy of your Emirates ID.
Visa rules can change and are at the sole discretion of Saudi immigration authorities. We confirm current requirements before you travel.
Guided Ziyarat tours can be added to any package — just tell your consultant which sites matter most to you.
