A Practical Guide to Umrah from the UK

As an experienced Umrah travel advisor, I’m delighted to help you embark on this sacred journey from the UK. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to plan a successful and stress-free trip.

Choosing Your Departure Airport

If you’re from Sheffield, you’ll want to consider flying from one of the following departure airports: Manchester (MAN), Leeds Bradford (LBA), or East Midlands (EMA). These airports offer a range of flights to connection hubs like Istanbul (IST), Doha (DOH), and Dubai (DXB), which can then take you to Jeddah or Medina. When selecting your departure airport, consider the following factors:

• Flight duration and frequency
• Airport amenities and facilities
• Proximity to your home or preferred hotel

Selecting Your Umrah Package

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right package for your needs. Our Umrah packages cater to different preferences and budgets, from the Saver option, which includes 7 nights in a 3-star hotel with flights, to the Premium option, which offers 10 nights in a 5-star hotel with flights.

Here’s a brief overview of our variants:

• Saver: 7 nights, 3★, with flights
• Best Value: 10 nights, 3★, with flights
• Comfort: 10 nights, 4★, with flights
• Family: 12 nights, 4★, with flights
• Premium: 10 nights, 5★, with flights
• Extended: 14 nights, 4★, with flights

How Many Nights Should You Choose?

The number of nights you choose will depend on your personal preference and the type of Umrah experience you’re looking for. If you’re short on time or on a tight budget, the Saver option might be the best choice. However, if you want to fully immerse yourself in the Umrah experience, consider opting for the Extended package, which includes 14 nights in a 4-star hotel with flights.

UK-to-Saudi Climate Shift

In February, the typical average temperature in Makkah is around 33°C during the day and 20°C at night, while in Madinah, it’s around 27°C during the day and 14°C at night. Be sure to pack accordingly, bringing lightweight clothing for the day and layers for the cooler evenings.
