1. What is included in this “Mecca First” 14-night Ramadan Umrah package?

Our budget-friendly package is designed for a complete spiritual journey, starting in Mecca. It includes round-trip economy flights, 10 nights in a Shariah-compliant hotel in Mecca (with easy Haram access), 4 nights in a hotel in Medina near the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid al-Nabawi), all ground transfers (including airport and city-to-city by private coach or high-speed train), visa processing assistance, and a dedicated group coordinator in Saudi Arabia for support.

2. Why does this package follow a “Mecca First” itinerary?

This Mecca-first Umrah package allows pilgrims to perform the core rites of Umrah immediately upon arrival during the holy month of Ramadan. You can then spend the powerful final Ashra in Mecca, focusing on worship and the pursuit of Laylatul Qadr, before traveling to Medina for a peaceful conclusion to your journey.

3. Can I customize the number of nights in Mecca and Medina?

Yes, absolutely. While our standard affordable Ramadan package offers 10 nights in Mecca and 34nights in Medina, the duration in each holy city is fully customizable per your spiritual and travel desires. You can extend your stay in either city based on hotel availability and your package adjustment.

4. How close are the hotels to the Haram in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina?

We select value-for-money hotels offering the best possible proximity within this budget segment. In Mecca, hotels are typically within a 10-15 minute walking distance with the Shuttle Service to the Grand Mosque, though closer options may be available for an upgrade. In Medina, our hotels are also within a short and convenient distance to Masjid al-Nabawi.

5. Is the Tourist visa included, and what is the process?

Yes, our package includes full Tourist visa processing assistance. Our team will guide you through the required documentation, including passport copies, photographs, and vaccination certificates, and manage the submission to the authorized agents to facilitate your visa issuance.

6. What type of transportation is provided between Mecca and Medina?

Transfers between the holy cities are typically provided via a private, air-conditioned coach, which is the standard for most affordable packages. For a quicker journey, an upgrade to the high-speed Haramain train can often be arranged at an additional cost, subject to schedule and availability.

7. Are meals included in this affordable Ramadan package?

To keep the package accessible and affordable, meals are not typically included. This allows you the flexibility to dine according to your preference and budget. All hotels are chosen in areas with easy access to numerous restaurants and supermarkets, especially for Suhoor and Iftar during Ramadan.

8. What support is available during the trip in Saudi Arabia?

You will have the support of a dedicated local coordinator or helpdesk throughout your journey. They will assist with airport arrivals, hotel check-ins, group briefings, and be available to address any questions or concerns during your stay in Mecca and Medina.
