Easter Umrah Packages from the UK

The Easter break (early April) lines up with the UK spring school holidays, so it is an ideal window for families to perform Umrah together without taking children out of school. Many people also have time off over the long weekend, making it easier to travel as a group.

Spiritually, there is no fixed season for Umrah, so Easter is simply a convenient and rewarding time to visit the House of Allah, perform tawaf around the Kaaba and find peace in Makkah and Madinah. The spring weather is comfortable for the walking, tawaf and sa'i involved in the rites of Umrah.

Easter falls in spring, so days in Makkah and Madinah are warm — typically the mid-20s to mid-30s°C — and noticeably more comfortable than the peak summer, though it can still get hot at midday. Pack light, breathable, modest clothing, sun protection and a refillable bottle for Zamzam water, and stay well hydrated.

• Ihram garments and comfortable, easy-to-remove walking footwear
• Light, breathable clothing plus a thin layer for air-conditioned interiors
• Sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and any regular medication
• A small bag for shoes at the Haram

• Return flights from the UK with trusted carriers such as British Airways, Saudia, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad and Turkish Airlines (direct and one-stop options)
• Umrah visa processing
• Hand-picked 3, 4 and 5-star hotels — in Makkah within a few minutes' walk of Masjid al-Haram and in Madinah close to Masjid an-Nabawi, with Haram-view rooms available
• Airport transfers (Jeddah or Madinah) and intercity transport between the two cities
• Guided ziyarah (ziyarat) of the holy sites with an experienced Umrah guide on selected packages
• A choice of room occupancy — quad, triple or double sharing

Packages run from 7 to 14 nights across a variety of hotel options, so you can balance budget and comfort. Exact inclusions vary by package — check each one above for full details.

Beyond Umrah itself, Easter's pleasant weather is ideal for ziyarah. In Makkah you can visit Masjid al-Haram and the Kaaba, Jabal al-Nour (the Cave of Hira), Jabal Thawr (the Cave of Thawr), Mount Arafat and Jannat al-Mualla. In Madinah, visits include the Prophet's Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi), Jannat al-Baqi, the Quba Mosque, Masjid al-Qiblatain and Mount Uhud. An Umrah guide accompanies selected packages to explain the significance of each site.

We arrange Easter Umrah departures from airports across the UK — London Heathrow (LHR) and Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN), Birmingham (BHX), Leeds Bradford (LBA), Glasgow (GLA), Edinburgh (EDI) and Bristol (BRS) — and also serve pilgrims in Bradford, Leeds and beyond. Browse our London, Manchester and Birmingham packages, and ask us about group Easter Umrah packages and ladies-only group options.

Because Easter coincides with the school holidays, it is a peak, high-demand period and the best hotels near the Haram and the lowest flight fares sell out early. Booking three to six months ahead gives you the widest choice and the best prices, and early bookings often qualify for the best deals. We also offer flexible payment methods to help you spread the cost.

Most pilgrims choose a 7 to 10-night stay, which is comfortable for completing Umrah and the ziyarah visits, with 12 and 14-night options also available.
