That is the cost of performing the Umrah pilgrimage from the UK. Umrah prices from the UK are highly variable and depend on several factors, including the time of year, the type of package selected, the size of your group, the location of your hotel choice, and the inclusion of flights. Here is a brief guide that shows how prices are determined and what you can expect while booking with Taqwa Tours.

1. Variation in Prices by Month

• September to November and January to April are known as the off-peak period or shoulder months, resulting in lower prices and a steadier average price.
• December, Easter, and Half-Term Holidays: Prices rise at these times due to increased demand, particularly for family packages during school breaks.
• Ramadan and Hajj Periods: These are peak times, during which prices increase significantly, primarily due to limited availability and high demand.

2. Variation in Price by Package Type

• Economy Packages (3 Star): approximately £625 per person for a 7-day typical standard package; and for more expensive packages, such as 10 days, the starting price is around £725 per person.
• 4-Star Packages: Typically priced from £825 per person for 7 days, with the cost increasing significantly for stays of more than 7 days duration.
• 5-Star Gold Packages: For 7 days, at approximately €905 per person, and available at higher rates for an upper premium category.
•  

3. Price Variations for Group Size

• For a single person, most of the time, higher per-person charges result from single-room supplements.
• Couples: Per-person pricing is lower because couples typically share a room rate.
• Families and Groups: You can take advantage of group discounts and family room rates, which reduce the overall per-person cost.

4. Price Variations Based on Hotel Location

Normal Hotels: They cost significantly less but may be situated some distance away from the Haram.

Clock Tower Hotels (Makkah): The prices of Clock Tower hotels increase significantly if one wishes to stay at these hotels, as they are directly adjacent to the Haram and offer lavish accommodations with views of the Haram itself, along with top-quality services. Hence, such hotels are a favourite among pilgrim visitors who seek convenience and exclusivity.

5. Price Variation According to Inclusions

There are Umrah packages that include flights and others that do not. This has a significant impact on the total cost.

With Flights: The most sought after by most travellers for their convenience, but also the most expensive, as it includes all (flights, hotels, transfers, meals, visa, and guided tours).

Without Flights: Sometimes you’ll find that “Land only” Packages (hotels, transfers, meals, visa, and tours) come at a much lower price, but you have to book your flights.

Why Prices Are Not Fixed of Umrah

At-Taqwa Tours, we never speak of fixed prices because the costs of Umrah change about:

• The month of travel
• Hotel chosen
• Number of travelers
• What flight is included
• Other services (private transport, guided tours, etc.)

With customisable packages, each pilgrim is thus able to design their own experience according to their budget and other factors influencing their desired pilgrimage.

Key Points to Remember

1. Prices are subject to change: The final price varies based on your decisions for the month, including hotel, group size, inclusions, and hotel location.
2. Book early: To secure the best rates and preferred hotels, especially during peak periods or at special locations such as the Clock Tower.
3. Customisation: Taqwa Tours will tailor your package to suit your needs, allowing you to pay only for what you want.
4. Families and large groups receive discounts: Larger groups and families pay less per person.
5. Hotels at the Clock Tower: They are luxurious and costly; if you want good views and a great location, be prepared to open your wallet even further.
