Umrah packages in Pakistan: a complete guide
The short answer. Umrah packages differ in four things: when you go, how far you sleep from the Haram, how many share the room, and how long the trip is. Economy, five-star, luxury and all-inclusive are descriptions of where a package sits on those four, not separate products. Learn the four and any two quotes become comparable.
Unlike Hajj there is no quota, no allocation and no Mina. That makes Umrah much simpler to price and much more variable in what a package actually contains.

These are the rates published on this website, read when the site was last built. They move with the riyal, the airfare and the season. Ask us for today's figure and we will confirm it before you pay anything.
The rates are per person, and the room is doing most of the work.
The four variables
1. When you go. The largest factor and the one entirely in your control. Ramadan, especially the last ten nights, is the most crowded and most expensive time of the year. School holidays follow. A quiet month is the same place, far cheaper, with a hotel you could not otherwise afford. Ramadan packages and December and winter.
2. How far you sleep from the Haram. The biggest line inside the package and the thing that decides whether the trip is enjoyable, especially for an older parent. Ask for the hotel by name and judge the walk yourself.
3. How many share the room. The same hotel, the same dates, a different per-person figure. This is where families make their real saving.
4. How long. Nights in Makkah, nights in Madinah. Packages trim Madinah first, so check that number before you compare prices.
The one thing that is not optional
A Pakistani passport holder cannot lodge the Umrah visa alone. It goes through an operator attested by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and Nusuk will not take an individual application. So the agency is the route, not a convenience. The Umrah visa from Pakistan.
The tiers, and what each name means
- Economy: a quieter month, more sharing,
a further hotel. A legitimate trade if you know which one was made.
- Five-star: a hotel rating, which tells
you less than the walking distance does.
- Luxury: at the top end the money buys
proximity and service rather than furniture.
as one.
- All-inclusive: ask for the
excluded list, which is the real answer.
the components, and what to check in each.
How to compare two quotes
- Hotel in Makkah by name, and the walk in minutes at night
- Hotel in Madinah, and how many nights
- Which room the price is for
- Meals, which ones
- Airport transfers, both ends
- Makkah to Madinah, included and by what means
- Ziyarat, and transport to it
- What is excluded, in writing
- Cancellation terms, in writing
A cheaper package is cheaper somewhere on that list. What is included in an Umrah package.
Before you pay anybody
Verify the company: the registered name, the bank account in that name, the Department of Tourist Services registration, and a straight answer on who lodges the visa. Ten minutes: how to verify an Umrah travel agency.
Ask us for your combination
Send us your dates, how many of you, the ages and the room you want. We will give you the figure for exactly that, with the hotels named and the exclusions in writing, and tell you what moving your dates by a fortnight would buy. Our departures are on the Umrah packages page.
