Umrah by Air
Fly from the UAE, stay close to the Haram, and let us carry the details.
Umrah by Air is a complete package for pilgrims flying from the UAE: return flights, Umrah visa, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, private transfers and guided Ziyarat, planned around the number of nights you have. We book flights from Dubai International, Sharjah International and Abu Dhabi International. Makkah-first itineraries land at Jeddah; Madinah-first itineraries land at Madinah International. Tell us your preference when you enquire. Most air packages run from 5 to 10 nights and suit families, first-time pilgrims and anyone who wants the journey to be short and unhurried.

Questions about flying
How long does an Umrah visa take from the UAE?
Usually 3 to 5 working days once we have your documents. We recommend applying about three weeks before you travel so there is room for any query from the Saudi side.
How early should I book my Umrah?
Three to four weeks ahead is comfortable for most dates. For Ramadan, Eid and school holidays, book six to eight weeks ahead: hotels near the Haram fill early and prices rise.
Do you publish prices?
No. Prices move with dates, hotels and group size, so a fixed number online is usually wrong by the time you read it. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and who is travelling, and we send a clear written quote the same day.
Which airports do you fly from?
Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi are all standard departure options. Flights land in Jeddah for Makkah-first itineraries or Madinah for Madinah-first ones.
How far are the hotels from the Haram?
It depends on the tier. Premium hotels are within about 300 metres of the Haram, Standard within roughly 800 metres, and Economy hotels are a short shuttle or 15 minute walk away. Each tier states the distance on the package page.
Do you book the Haramain high-speed train?
Yes. We can add Haramain train tickets between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah to any package. It is faster and calmer than the road, and we handle the booking and seat allocation.
Tell us your dates. We will do the rest.
