School holidays are often the only time a whole family, or a student, can travel together. This package fits four nights in Makkah and three in Madinah into a single week, with flights, hotels and road transfers arranged together as one booking.
Both hotels are three-star, which keeps the price down at a busy time of year, and each is within a short walk of the Haram. Half-term and summer dates sell quickly, so send us yours as early as you can.

Day by day
Your 8-day itinerary
A typical running order. Flight times and the night split can be changed when you book.
Day 1
Fly to Jeddah, then on to Makkah
Take your return flight from the UK to Jeddah. Most pilgrims put on ihram before boarding, because the plane crosses the miqat in the air. Our coach meets you on arrival for the road transfer to your Makkah hotel.
Days 1–2
Perform your Umrah at your own pace
Once you have rested, complete tawaf around the Kaaba and sa’i between Safa and Marwah, then finish with halq or taqsir. There is no fixed slot, so you can go straight away or after a night’s sleep.
Days 2–4
Worship and prayer in Makkah
Spend your days at Masjid al-Haram for the five daily prayers and extra tawaf. A guided ziyarah to places such as Jabal al-Nour can be added on request for a separate fee.
Day 5
Coach to Madinah
Check out of your Makkah hotel and travel approx. 450 km north to Madinah by coach. Allow most of the day for the journey, which includes rest stops along the way.
Days 6–7
Time at Masjid an-Nabawi
Pray at Masjid an-Nabawi and send your salutations to the Prophet (peace be upon him). A visit to the Rawdah needs a permit booked through the Nusuk app, and our team can help you with it. Quba Mosque and Uhud can be visited on an optional ziyarah.
Day 8
Fly home to the UK
Transfer to the airport for your return flight. Depending on the airline, you fly home from Madinah or from Jeddah; we confirm the routing with your quote.
Package FAQs
Questions about this package
Which school holidays do you cover?
We can quote for half-terms, Easter, summer and Christmas. Term dates differ between councils, so send us yours and we will match the flights to them.
Can I change the four-and-three night split?
Yes. Many travellers prefer more time in one city. Tell us when you enquire and we will quote the split you want, subject to hotel availability.
Which UK airports can I fly from?
Direct flights to Jeddah are available from London Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham. From other UK airports you travel with a connection, and we show you the options with your quote.
How do I visit the Rawdah in Madinah?
A visit to the Rawdah needs a permit booked through the Nusuk app, and slots can fill quickly. Our team can talk you through booking one before you travel or during your stay.
Is guided ziyarah part of the package?
No, guided ziyarah is not in the package price. It can be added on request in Makkah, Madinah or both, and we confirm the cost with your quote.
What does ATOL protection cover on this package?
Because the package includes flights, it is protected under ATOL 10416. If 7 Continents Travel Ltd fails financially, ATOL protection means you get a refund or, if you are already away, help getting home.
