LUXURY UMRAH

5 Star Umrah Packages

5 Star Umrah packages are the luxury tier for UK pilgrims: return flights, the Saudi visa, 5-star hotels beside Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi — several with Haram or Kaaba views — half or full board, private VIP transfers and a scholar-led Umrah guide, all in one price. Book a ready-made 5 Star trip from £835 per adult for 7 nights with four to a room, step up to our Luxury line in the Clock Tower hotels from £1,135, or have us build a trip around any luxury hotel in Makkah and Madinah that we work with.

THE 5 STAR TIER

What Makes an Umrah Package 5 Star?

A 5 Star Umrah package is an Umrah trip built around hotels that Google and the hotel booking sites list as 5-star; on our ready-made packages, the Makkah hotel is 100 m to 300 m from Masjid al-Haram, or directly beside it on Luxury; private VIP vehicles carry you between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah, and a scholar guides your Umrah. Meals rise to half or full board, and guided Ziyarat is part of every package rather than an extra.

Many hotels in Makkah and Madinah carry two ratings. The booking sites show the brand's own grade, while the Saudi Ministry of Tourism issues an official classification on the hotel's licence — and several famous hotels beside the Haram, such as Swissôtel Al Maqam and Pullman ZamZam Makkah, are sold as 5-star but hold an official 4-star licence. Our luxury hotel table shows both ratings side by side, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

NAMED HOTELS

5 STAR OR LUXURY

5 Star or Luxury: Which Package Should You Choose?

Choose 5 Star for a hotel within 300 m of the Haram, a scholar-led guide and half board; choose Luxury for a Clock Tower hotel beside the Haram, full board on every length and a private guide. The 14-night 5 Star and the 7-night Luxury cost the same, £1,135 per adult four to a room: two weeks at 300 m from the Haram, or one week at 100 m.

Prices checked 8 October 2026 for four adults sharing a room on a term-time departure from London; a triple room adds £100 per adult and a double £250 (£150 and £350 on the 14-night 5 Star). School holidays, Ramadan and other UK airports change the price, and your quote confirms it. 5 Star packages use private VIP vehicles; Luxury packages use a private luxury vehicle.

KAABA AND HARAM VIEWS

Which 5 Star Hotels in Makkah Have Kaaba-View Rooms?

On our packages, Kaaba-view rooms are at the Fairmont Clock Tower, Raffles Makkah Palace and Swissôtel Makkah — all three on our Luxury line, in the Abraj Al-Bait towers beside the Haram. A Kaaba view looks straight onto the Kaaba; a Haram view looks over the mosque and its courtyards, which is what the Jabal Omar Hyatt Regency and InterContinental Dar Al Tawhid offer in Makkah.

In Madinah, Pullman Zamzam Madina has Haram-view rooms, The Biltmore has rooms facing the Prophet's Mosque, and the Sofitel Shahd's Presidential Suite looks over the Haram plaza. View rooms are limited and go first in Ramadan, so ask for the view you want: your quote names the room type and its price.

THE ITINERARY

How Does a 5 Star Umrah Run on 7, 10 or 14 Nights?

A private VIP vehicle meets you at Jeddah, and your scholar guides you through Umrah the day you reach Makkah. A guided Ziyarat of Makkah follows, then a road journey of about 450 km takes you to Madinah for its own Ziyarat. In Madinah, a visit to the Rawdah is booked in advance for a set time.

7 nights

Umrah with your scholar the day you land, Makkah Ziyarat (Jabal al-Nour, Jannat al-Mu'alla, Mina, Arafat), then Madinah, with Quba, Uhud and al-Qiblatayn and a free day for prayer and the Rawdah.

10 nights

Umrah the day you land, the Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, Mina and Arafat, a guided Makkah heritage tour, then Madinah and the Seven Mosques with Quba and Uhud.

14 nights

Umrah the day you land, full board throughout, Ziyarat to Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat, time for a second Umrah from Taneem, then Madinah and the rest of the trip by the Prophet's Mosque.

BUILD YOUR OWN

Which Luxury Hotels Can You Choose for a Custom 5 Star Umrah?

You can build a 5 Star Umrah around any hotel in the table below: every one is sold as 5-star, and the official column shows the Ministry of Tourism rating on its licence. Pick a hotel in each city, and we price the whole trip with your dates, nights and UK airport — see a bespoke Umrah.

Where the official rating is 4-star, the hotel is also on our list for 4 Star Umrah prices.

“Sold as” is the grade shown by Google and the hotel booking sites. “Official Ministry rating” is the classification on the hotel's Saudi Ministry of Tourism licence; “Not yet confirmed” means we are still checking the register. Per-night prices are starting estimates for the room and your quote confirms them. Licence numbers can be checked on the Ministry register.

ZIYARAT

Which Ziyarat Tours Come With a 5 Star Umrah?

Guided Ziyarat in Makkah and Madinah comes with every 5 Star and Luxury package, led by your scholar or private guide. In Makkah the tours visit sites such as Jabal al-Nour and the Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, Jannat al-Mu'alla, Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat; in Madinah they cover Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud and Masjid al-Qiblatayn. Each package's itinerary lists its exact stops.

The 10-night 5 Star package adds a guided Makkah heritage tour and the Seven Mosques in Madinah. Guides speak English, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and more, and our guide to the Ziyarat sites explains the history of each stop.

MEALS

Which Meals Come With 5 Star and Luxury Packages?

The 7 and 10-night 5 Star packages are half board, with breakfast and dinner; the 14-night 5 Star and every Luxury package are full board, with all three meals. On half board, lunch is the one meal you buy yourself.

The hotels make that easy: the Fairmont has eight restaurants, Pullman Zamzam Madina six dining venues, the Hyatt Regency four and The Biltmore four, from Al Ansar to the Moghul Room. You can also move a 7 or 10-night package up to full board in your quote.

FLIGHTS AND TRANSFERS

Flights, VIP Transfers or the Haramain Train: How Do You Travel?

Return flights leave from London, Manchester or Birmingham depending on your dates, and a private VIP vehicle — a private luxury vehicle on Luxury — covers every road journey: Jeddah to Makkah, Makkah to Madinah and back to the airport. Saudia flies direct to Jeddah from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, and from Birmingham on selected dates; your quote names the airline, route and baggage allowance.

Prefer the Haramain High-Speed Railway between Makkah and Madinah? We add it on request and price it in your quote. Wheelchair-accessible transfers and wheelchair-accessible hotel rooms are arranged on request too, on any 5 Star or Luxury package.

COUPLES, FAMILIES AND GROUPS

What Does a 5 Star Umrah Cost for a Couple, Family or Group?

A couple in a double room pays £2,170 on the 7-night 5 Star package, and two adults with two children aged 2 to 11 pay £3,150 in a quad room. Travelling alone, a single room on the same package is £1,465.

For a couple, the 7-night Luxury package costs £2,770 — £200 less than the 14-night 5 Star at £2,970 — while a family of four pays the same £4,280 on either. A child in the parents' bed is £595 on 5 Star 7 Nights and a baby under 2 is £255.

MAKE IT YOURS

Can You Change a 5 Star Package: Extra Nights, Madinah First or Land Only?

Yes. Any 5 Star or Luxury package can be lengthened, reordered or rebuilt: six nights in Makkah and four in Madinah, Madinah first, a 12-night trip, a Kaaba-view room, full board on a half-board package, or a flight from any UK airport. Each change is priced before you pay.

Already have flights? We sell land-only packages too, with the hotels, private transfers and Ziyarat booked for you on the ground.

WHEN, WHO AND WHERE

When and From Where Should You Book a 5 Star Umrah?

Book a 5 Star Umrah as early as you can for Ramadan and the school holidays, when rooms beside the Haram sell first; term-time months give the widest choice of hotels and views.

Ramadan and Easter

Kaaba-view and Haram-view rooms for the last ten nights go before anything else, so plan Ramadan Umrah dates months ahead. In 2027 the Easter holidays Umrah packages have to end before the Hajj closure, with arrival by 23 March; full board on a Luxury package saves finding meals for children between prayers.

Women, families and groups

Women aged 18 and over do not need a Mahram, so a 5 Star trip suits women travelling together — see Umrah for women. Grandparents gain most from a hotel at 300 m or less, which makes this tier a natural fit for Umrah with your family, and mosque or family groups can book private group Umrah with a dedicated group leader. Every 5 Star and Luxury package is one of our all inclusive Umrah packages from the UK: flights, the visa, hotels, meals, transfers, guide and Ziyarat.

Length of stay

Each tier comes in three lengths: 7 nights of Umrah, ten nights of Umrah or a fortnight of Umrah.

WHO IT SUITS

Who Is a 5 Star Umrah Best For?

A 5 Star Umrah suits pilgrims who put the walk to the Haram first: older parents and grandparents, couples marking a honeymoon or anniversary, anyone who wants a Kaaba view, and families who want meals and transport taken care of. The scholar-led guide also suits first-time pilgrims who want each rite explained.

If a 10-minute walk is fine and breakfast is enough, the 4 Star packages cost £255 to £405 less per adult; for the lowest prices of all, see our cheapest Umrah packages or 3 Star Umrah prices. Every tier sits on all our Umrah packages.

BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE

How Do You Book a 5 Star Umrah Safely?

Ask for a quote. £50 per person holds your booking and is part of the price; 50% of the price is due within 24 hours, and the balance 20 days before departure.

FAQS

5 Star Umrah Packages: Your Questions Answered

How much does a 5 Star Umrah package cost from the UK?
From £835 per adult four to a room for 7 nights, £935 for 10 nights and £1,135 for 14 nights, with flights, the Saudi visa, two 5-star hotels, half or full board, VIP transfers, a scholar-led guide and Ziyarat. Luxury packages in the Clock Tower hotels start at £1,135.
Are both hotels on a 5 Star package officially 5-star?
Both are sold as 5-star by Google and the booking sites. The Hyatt Regency, Marriott, InterContinental Dar Al Tawhid, Swissôtel Makkah, Fairmont, Raffles and Sofitel Shahd also hold an official 5-star licence; for The Biltmore and Pullman Zamzam Madina the official rating is not yet confirmed. Licence numbers are listed on this page.
How far are 5-star hotels from the Haram?
In Makkah: Swissôtel Makkah 100 m, Jabal Omar Hyatt Regency 250 m, Jabal Omar Marriott and InterContinental Dar Al Tawhid 300 m, with the Fairmont and Raffles directly beside the Haram. In Madinah: Pullman Zamzam next to Masjid an-Nabawi, The Biltmore in front of Gate 338 and Sofitel Shahd a minute's walk away.
Is the 5 Star price for two, three or four people sharing?
The headline price is per adult with four sharing a room. A triple costs £100 more per adult and a double £250 more, rising to £150 and £350 for the fortnight-long 5 Star; a single room on 5 Star 7 Nights is £1,465.
What is the difference between 5 Star and Luxury Umrah packages?
Luxury moves you into the Clock Tower complex next to the mosque (Swissôtel Makkah, Fairmont or Raffles), gives full board on every length and adds a private guide, with a scholar on 10 and 14 nights; 5 Star uses Jabal Omar hotels within 300 m, with half board on 7 and 10 nights.
Can I fly direct to Saudi Arabia on a 5 Star Umrah?
Yes, where the route allows: Saudia's direct flights leave Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, and Birmingham on selected dates. Other dates and airports use a connecting flight, and your quote names the airline, stops and baggage.
Is the Haramain train included on 5 Star packages?
The packages travel between Makkah and Madinah by private VIP vehicle. The Haramain High-Speed Railway can replace that leg on request, priced in your quote.
Can you help elderly pilgrims or wheelchair users on a 5 Star Umrah?
Yes. Wheelchair-accessible transfers and hotel rooms are arranged on request, and the 5 Star hotels are within about 300 m of the Haram, so the walk is short.
When is a 5 Star Umrah cheapest?
Term-time months such as January, June, September and November give the widest choice of rooms at lower prices. Ramadan and the school holidays cost most, so book those early.
Can I book a 5 Star Umrah at short notice?
Yes. Tell us your dates and we quote what is still available that day, with both hotels named before you pay.
Do women need a Mahram for a 5 Star Umrah?
No. Women aged 18 and over can perform Umrah without a Mahram, on their own or with other women.
Are 5 Star Umrah packages ATOL protected?
Yes. Every package with flights is protected by ATOL 74904, and the ATOL certificate comes with your tickets once the 50% payment is made; the number can be checked on the CAA's ATOL holder search.
What is a VIP Umrah package?
Our Luxury line: full board, a private luxury vehicle for every transfer and a private Umrah guide, from £1,135 per adult with four sharing for seven nights.
How much does a 15 day 5 Star Umrah cost?
Fourteen 5 Star nights with full board cost from £1,135 per adult with four sharing; a fifteenth night is priced in a custom quote.
