A 10 night 4 star Umrah over the Christmas holidays, with flights from London Heathrow, child pricing and hotels close to the Haram.

  • Travel during the Christmas school holidays
  • Pleasant weather in Makkah and Madinah
  • Child prices available
  • Makkah hotel: about 2 km, hotel shuttle
  • Guided Ziyarat included

A practical choice for travellers from London Heathrow and nearby states. The plan covers 10 nights in total, with the time split so you can pray in both Harams without feeling rushed.

The 4 star hotels are close to the Haram, include breakfast and have larger rooms. For most families this is the sweet spot: you can rest at the hotel between prayers and still reach the mosque quickly.

The Christmas school holidays are one of the busiest times for British families, so flights around 19 to 21 December fill early. Weather in Makkah is usually warm in the day and comfortable at night.

You can change the hotels or the number of nights. Use the request form on this page and tell us what you would like to adjust.
