Best Umrah Travel Agency in UK — Qiblatain UK
Qiblatain UK is an Islamic travel agency helping British Muslims perform Hajj and Umrah with complete peace of mind. We arrange flights, Umrah visas, hotels near the Haram, ground transport and guided Ziyarat all in one simple package, with departures from London, Manchester, Birmingham and other major UK airports.
Planning a pilgrimage should feel exciting, not stressful. Yet many pilgrims spend weeks comparing flights, worrying about visa applications and wondering whether their hotel is really as close to the Haram as the advert promised. That is exactly why Qiblatain UK exists. Our team takes care of every detail of your journey, from the moment you request a quote to the moment you land back home in the UK, so you can give your full attention to what truly matters: your worship.
Who We Are — An Islamic Travel Agency Built for British Pilgrims
Qiblatain UK was founded in 2010 with one clear purpose: to make the sacred journey to Makkah and Madinah simple, honest and affordable for Muslims across the United Kingdom. Our name comes from Masjid al-Qiblatain, the Mosque of the Two Qiblas in Madinah, a reminder that every journey of faith begins with turning in the right direction.
As a British Islamic travel agency, we understand the questions UK pilgrims actually ask. Which airline offers the best route from Manchester? Can my mother travel if she holds a Pakistani passport but lives in Bradford? Will the hotel lift cope with a wheelchair? How do we plan Umrah around GCSE exams? These are the practical, real-life concerns our team answers every single day.
We are not a faceless booking website. When you call Qiblatain UK by dialling 0203 900 0999, you speak to a real person in the UK who has helped hundreds of pilgrims travel. And who will remember your name when you call back? That personal service is the reason so many of our customers return year after year and recommend us to their families, friends and local mosque communities.
Why Choose Qiblatain UK as Your Umrah Travel Agency?
Choosing the right Umrah travel agency is really a question of trust. You are handing over your savings, your holiday time and the hopes of your whole family. Here is what makes UK Muslims book with Qiblatain UK:

Clear, Honest Pricing: The price we quote is the price you pay. No booking fees appearing at the last minute, no hidden extras and no pressure selling. We would rather earn your trust for life than an extra pound today.
Our Hajj and Umrah Packages from the UK
Every pilgrim is different, so every Qiblatain UK package can be tailored to your dates, budget and family needs. These are our most popular options:
Umrah Packages UK
Our core Umrah packages include return flights from your chosen UK airport, Umrah visa processing, hotel accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah, and private transfers between the airport and your hotels. Choose from economy packages with quality 3-star hotels, mid-range 4-star options a short walk from the Haram, or luxury 5-star packages in hotels such as those in the Clock Tower complex, directly facing Masjid al-Haram. Packages start from £498 per person with a duration of 7 to 10 nights, though we can arrange anything from a short 5-night visit to a full month. Advance bookings for Umrah packages 2027 are already open, with early-bird prices and flexible deposits for pilgrims who like to plan ahead.
Ramadan Umrah Packages
Performing Umrah in Ramadan carries the reward of Hajj, according to the well-known hadith, and it is by far our busiest season. Our Ramadan Umrah packages cover the first ten nights, the last ten nights — including Laylat al-Qadr — or the entire blessed month. Because hotels near the Haram sell out many months ahead of Ramadan, we strongly advise booking as early as possible. Early bookers get the best rooms at the best prices; late bookers get whatever is left.
December and School Holiday Umrah Packages
Travelling with children? Our December, Easter and summer holiday packages are timed around UK school breaks, so your children never miss lessons and you avoid term-time fines. The weather in Makkah is also at its most comfortable during the British winter, which makes December one of the most pleasant times of year to perform Umrah with young children or elderly parents.
Hajj Packages UK
Hajj is the journey of a lifetime, and it deserves the most careful planning of all. Our Hajj packages include return flights, all visa processing through the official Nusuk platform, accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, tents in Mina, transport between the holy sites and experienced, English-speaking group leaders who guide you through every ritual step by step. Places for Hajj are strictly limited each year, so registration opens early and closes fast.
Family and Group Umrah Packages
Travelling with elderly parents, young children or a large extended family brings its own challenges — and its own beautiful rewards. We arrange connecting hotel rooms, ground-floor access, wheelchair assistance at airports and in the Haram, baby cots, and flexible itineraries that give everyone time to rest. For mosque groups, community organisations and groups of friends, we offer group discounts and can provide a dedicated group leader for parties of 100 or more.
Tailor-Made and Luxury Umrah
Prefer to build your own journey? Tell us your ideal airline, hotel and dates, and we will price it for you. From business-class flights to Haram-view suites and private Ziyarat tours with a knowledgeable guide, if it can be arranged, we will arrange it.

Preparing for Umrah — Guidance You Can Rely On
For many of our customers, this is their very first pilgrimage, and it is completely normal to feel unsure about what to expect. That is why guidance is woven into everything we do. Before you travel, we provide a clear document checklist, advice on ihram and the rites of Umrah, tips for staying healthy in the Saudi climate and practical answers to the questions first-time pilgrims most often ask.
To apply for your Umrah visa, you will generally need a passport valid for at least six months from your travel date, a passport-sized photograph and, for non-UK passport holders, proof of UK residency such as a Biometric Residence Permit. Our team checks every application before submission, which is why visa refusals among our customers are extremely rare.
We also keep a close eye on official Saudi regulations, which change from season to season, so the advice you receive from us is current — not something copied from an out-of-date forum post.
Makkah and Madinah — What Awaits You
In Makkah, you will stand before the Kaaba, perform Tawaf among pilgrims from every corner of the world, and walk between Safa and Marwah in the footsteps of Hajar. In Madinah, the City of the Prophet ﷺ, you will pray in Masjid an-Nabawi and, God willing, in the blessed Rawdah. Our optional guided Ziyarat tours also take you to historic sites such as Masjid Quba, Masjid al-Qiblatain — the mosque our agency is named after — Mount Uhud and Jabal al-Noor, with a knowledgeable guide who brings the history of each place to life. These are the moments our packages are built around, and no detail of your comfort is too small for our team to consider.
What Our Pilgrims Say
"I recently planned my Umrah through Qiblatain Travels with Brother Zubair, who managed my arrangements throughout the entire journey. What truly stood out was his responsiveness and sincerity — he genuinely cares about helping, not just making bookings. He made the entire process very smooth and completely stress-free.
I would highly recommend Brother Zubair to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated travel agent." — Abdul Lathif Mohamed Sarjoon
"This company I used, I must say, the service was the best, and especially Ayesha, who sorted my Umrah package out as I wanted, and she spoon-fed me throughout my blessed journey.
Now I’m going back to her for my second trip with her for July, and I recommend using her. I’m Haji Nusrst from London.
If you want the best service with a very good price, contact Ayesha." — Mohammed Nusrat
