What's in a Budget 3 Star Package

A 3 Star Umrah Package is our value tier, built to keep the cost down without cutting the essentials. Every package includes return UK flights, Umrah visa processing and airport and intercity transfers, with accommodation in clean, comfortable 3-star hotels in both Makkah and Madinah. Flights leave from UK airports such as London Heathrow and arrive in Saudi Arabia at Jeddah or Madinah. Saudia and British Airways fly the route direct, while Emirates connects through Dubai, Qatar Airways through Doha and Turkish Airlines through Istanbul. Rooms are booked on a room-only basis as standard — bed & breakfast and guided Ziyarat can be added at a small extra cost — which keeps the headline price low. It is the most economical way to perform Umrah with flights, visa and hotels all arranged for you.

Our 3 Star Hotels and Their Distance to the Haram

Our 3-star hotels are chosen for cleanliness and a sensible distance to the Haram. In Makkah they include properties such as the Emaar Andalusia (about 950m from Masjid al-Haram) and the Al Ebaa Hotel (about 500m), with budget 1–2 star options like the Emaar Al Manar (850m) on the cheapest packages. In Madinah they include the Al Aqeeq Al Rawda (about 220m from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi), the Emaar Al Mektan (300m) and the Emaar Royal (700m). The rooms are air-conditioned and include free Wi-Fi as standard. Browse all options on our Makkah and Madinah hotel guides.

How Far Are 3 Star Hotels From the Haram?

Distance is what keeps the 3-star tier affordable. Most of our 3-star hotels are a 10 to 15 minute walk from the Haram, or a short shuttle ride from the outer districts such as Aziziyah in Makkah. You trade a few minutes' walk for a much lower price than the front-row 4 and 5-star hotels. For pilgrims who are happy to walk and want to put their budget into the journey rather than the room, this is the ideal balance.

Is the Budget Tier Right for You?

The 3-star tier suits budget-conscious and first-time pilgrims, students, and larger families who want to keep the per-person cost down. It is the natural choice if your priority is performing Umrah affordably rather than staying in a luxury hotel. If you want the lowest possible price, see our low-cost Umrah and budget Economy options; if you would like breakfast and a shorter walk, consider the step up to 4 Star below.

3 Star vs 4 Star: What You Gain by Upgrading

Upgrading from 3 to 4 star changes three things: the hotels move closer to the Haram (a 5 to 12 minute walk), daily breakfast is included, and transfers become private rather than shared. Prices rise from £699 to around £749 per person. If a shorter walk and breakfast matter to you, the upgrade is small; if budget is the priority, 3 star delivers the same pilgrimage for less. Compare the 4-star packages and 5 Star tiers.
