Book Umrah from UK with Personal Support at Every Step
Planning your spiritual journey from the United Kingdom requires careful organisation. At Tawaf e Haram Travel, we specialise in coordinating seamless departures from your local UK airport. We arrange your flights, visas, and transfers under one secure plan, giving you complete peace of mind before you fly.
By coordinating your journey directly from the UK, we make sure you have a clear schedule and a reliable agent to support you at every stage.
Direct vs. Connecting Flights from UK Airports
Your journey starts with choosing the right flight path. We arrange flights that suit your budget, travel time, and comfort requirements.
Direct Flights for Speed
- From London Heathrow (LHR): You can fly directly to Jeddah (JED) or Madinah (MED) with Saudia or British Airways. This is the fastest route, taking around six hours.
- From Manchester Airport (MAN): Saudia offers regular direct flights to Jeddah, which is highly convenient for pilgrims from the North.
Connecting Flights for Value
If you prefer more flexible schedules or budget-friendly fares, you can choose connecting flights with premium airlines:
- Emirates or Qatar Airways: Fly from Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester, or Newcastle with a single, comfortable stop in Dubai or Doha.
- Turkish Airlines or Royal Jordanian: Excellent options for regional departures, featuring short layovers in Istanbul or Amman.
Choosing Your Landing City
- Landing in Madinah first: This option allows you to settle in and visit Masjid an-Nabawi without being in the state of Ihram yet.
- Landing in Jeddah first: This is the most direct path to Makkah to perform your Umrah immediately, but you must be prepared to enter Ihram before you arrive.
The Meeqat on Flights departing from the UK
One of the most important aspects of your flight from the UK is the Meeqat boundary. The Meeqat is the physical boundary where pilgrims must enter the state of Ihram.
If you are flying directly from a UK airport (like Heathrow or Manchester) to Jeddah, your plane will cross the Meeqat boundary in the air, approximately 30 to 45 minutes before landing.
- Our Expert Advice: You cannot put on your Ihram after you land in Jeddah. You must put on Ihram at your UK departure airport before boarding, or during a layover if you have a connecting flight.
- During the Flight: The flight crew on major airlines like Saudia will make an announcement when the plane is approaching the Meeqat, allowing you to make your formal Niyyah (intention) in the air.
ATOL Protected Flight Packages
When you book a package that includes both flights from the UK and your accommodation, your booking is legally protected. Tawaf e Haram Travel offers Umrah Packages that are ATOL protected.
This protection ensures your travel funds are safe. Whether you are flying from England, Scotland, or Wales, your flight-inclusive booking is fully secure under UK law from the moment you make your deposit.
We explain everything clearly before booking so you understand exactly what is included in your travel plan.
Visa Guidance for UK Citizens and Residents
Securing the correct travel visa is essential. The process depends on your passport status in the United Kingdom:
- British Passport Holders: We can process a Saudi tourist e-Visa for you. This visa is valid for one year, allows multiple entries, and is usually approved within 24 to 48 hours.
- UK Resident Permit (BRP) Holders: If you reside in the UK but do not hold a British passport, we manage the traditional Umrah visa application. We guide you through the documents required by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj to ensure your application is successful.
Departures from Your Closest UK Region
We organise localised travel solutions so you do not have to travel far across the UK just to catch your flight. Select your closest city to explore details and regional advice:

Cost of Performing Umrah from the UK

Travel Season
Ramadan (especially last 10 nights) and school holiday periods like in December command the highest prices. January to March and September to October typically offer low price Umrah from UK.

Flights from London Heathrow are often the most convenient but can be priced higher than indirect flights from Manchester or Birmingham.
