When Is the Best Time to Go for Umrah from Birmingham?

You can do Umrah any time of year, and the best time depends on whether you prioritise Ramadan reward, cooler weather or better value. Peak UK windows — Ramadan, the school holidays and December — are busy and more expensive. The quieter months are where the best-value deals are usually found. 

Easter Umrah from Birmingham

Easter often aligns with the UK school holidays, which makes it one of our busiest and most popular travel periods — families travel together, and the atmosphere in the Haram is something special. Seats and Haram-side hotels go early, and prices climb, so book well ahead. Take a look at our dedicated Easter Umrah packages Birmingham for current dates.

December & Off-Peak Umrah from Birmingham

December is popular for good reason. The winter break means time off work and school, cooler weather in Makkah, and a memorable way to end the year. It is usually busier than autumn, so fares may be higher than in the quietest months. Explore our December Umrah packages Birmingham page to compare dates and prices.

Off-Peak & Best-Value Months

If budget is your main concern, look at late autumn and the weeks that fall between the big holidays. Fares from BHX drop, hotel rates fall, and the Haram is calmer — which many pilgrims prefer for a calmer Umrah. Travelling midweek and staying flexible on your dates will stretch your money even further.

Applying for an Umrah Visa: Everything You Need to Know

We handle your visa from start to finish, but it helps to understand how it works — especially the current Saudi visa and Nusuk requirements, which can worry some pilgrims. Getting these right matters: the FCDO regularly warns British Muslims about Hajj and Umrah fraud, so booking through a licensed, ATOL-protected agent isn't just convenient — it genuinely protects you and your money.

Umrah Visa Requirements from the UK

British passport holders can perform Umrah either on a Saudi tourist eVisa or a dedicated Umrah visa arranged through the Nusuk platform — we'll confirm the right route for your booking. You'll need a passport with at least six months' validity, a clear digital photo on a white background, and proof of vaccination where required. We prepare and submit the whole application for you, and if you plan to visit the Rawdah in Masjid an-Nabawi, we'll guide you through the mandatory Nusuk permit booking before you fly. A quick tip from our team: hold off booking anything non-refundable until your visa is approved, and plan early if you're travelling close to Hajj, as Umrah visa applications pause for several weeks before Hajj. 

How Do You Perform Umrah? A Simple Overview

The essentials are four steps: enter Ihram at the miqat, perform seven circuits of the Kaaba (Tawaf), walk seven times between Safa and Marwah (Sa'i), and complete your Umrah with Halq or Taqsir — shaving or shortening the hair. Read our full step-by-step guide on how to perform Umrah for more details.

FAQs

What's the Price of an Umrah Package from Birmingham?

Our Umrah packages from Birmingham begin at £675 per person for a 3-star 7-night package and rise to around £855 for a 5-star. The cost varies depending on the season, your hotel and how close it is to the Haram. Ramadan, Easter and December cost more. Off-peak months cost less. Send your dates, and we will quote you the correct price.

Does Birmingham Airport offer non-stop flights to Jeddah? 

Non-stop services operate from Birmingham (BHX) to Jeddah, with a journey time of roughly 6–7 hours. Direct seats sell quickly in peak months like Ramadan, so booking early secures the best fares. One-stop options via the Gulf are also available at lower prices. 

What's included in a Birmingham Umrah package?

Each tier can cover the core essentials — return flights from Birmingham (BHX), Saudi visa support, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, and airport plus intercity transfers — with your written quotation confirming the exact inclusions. The 3-star tier keeps costs low with shuttle-served hotels; 4-star brings you closer to the Haram with dedicated guidance; 5-star offers walking-distance accommodation and daily breakfast. Optional extras — such as guided Ziyarat tours — are priced separately and listed on your quote. 

Do I need a visa for Umrah, and can you arrange it?

Yes, every UK traveller needs a tourist eVisa or Umrah visa, issued through the Nusuk platform. The good news is you do not need to manage the process alone. We complete and submit the application for each pilgrim we book, check that your passport is valid, and keep you posted until it's approved. It's part of your package.

Are your Umrah packages ATOL protected?

Eligible flight-inclusive packages are financially protected under ATOL licence 10416. This financial protection applies if anything happens; your ATOL certificate confirms exactly what’s covered.

What is the walking distance from my hotel to the Haram? 

Walking distance varies by tier: luxury 5-star hotels are approx. 2–5 minutes on foot, 4-star hotels approx. 10 minutes, and 3-star hotels approx. 15–25 minutes or a short shuttle ride. Your exact hotel name and its distance are confirmed in writing before payment.

Can I customise my Umrah package?

Of course. Beyond the set tiers, we build custom packages around your dates, your preferred hotels, your group size, and your budget, family arrangements included. Want a few extra nights in Madinah? Tell us your specific travel needs, and we'll put a tailored quote together.
