Umrah from the UAE · Team based in Makkah

Umrah Packages from the UAE, Short Trips Made Simple

A short flight from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, or a long drive across the Kingdom: however you come, our team in Makkah arranges your hotels, airport transfers, Makkah–Madinah transport and Ziyarat, even for a trip of just a few days.

✓By air or by road – we meet you at Jeddah or Madinah airport, or, if you drive, arrange your hotels and local transport so the car can stay parked.
✓Short trips welcome – a long weekend or two weeks, with no fixed packages. Your quote follows your dates, hotels and group size, subject to availability.
✓Almost the same time zone – the UAE is just one hour ahead of Saudi Arabia, so it is easy to plan with us on WhatsApp during your day.

We are a Saudi-based team, not a UAE travel agency. Quotes are valid for 3 days, subject to availability. No deposit for transport or Ziyarat; pay in cash in any currency, including UAE dirhams, on arrival.

Umrah from the UAE, Arranged in Saudi Arabia

Our team is based in Makkah, and we arrange the Saudi side of your Umrah trip: hotels in Makkah and Madinah, airport transfers, transport between the two holy cities, ziyarat and practical guidance.

Many pilgrims look for an Umrah package from the UAE by air. Flight tickets can be included in your package on request, or you can book your flight to Jeddah or Madinah yourself and we plan everything else around your arrival and departure times. We do not provide road or bus travel from the UAE to Saudi Arabia.

We arrange Umrah for Emirati citizens and for expats living in the UAE. We don’t have an office in the UAE. Everything is arranged with you directly over WhatsApp or by email, from your first enquiry to support during your trip.

Flying to Saudi Arabia from the UAE

Flights from the UAE to Saudi Arabia are short compared with most other countries, which makes Umrah from the UAE practical even over a few days.

Main airports: pilgrims usually fly from Dubai International (DXB), Zayed International in Abu Dhabi (AUH) or Sharjah International (SHJ). There are direct flights from the UAE to both Jeddah and Madinah.
Jeddah or Madinah: Jeddah is the closest major airport to Makkah. Some pilgrims prefer to begin their trip in Madinah and travel to Makkah afterwards.
Check before you book: routes and schedules change, so check the current options when you book.
Ihram on a short flight: you need to be in ihram before the plane crosses the miqat on the way to Jeddah. Because the flight is short, many pilgrims from the UAE change into ihram clothing before leaving for the airport or before boarding, and make their intention on the plane before the miqat. See our guide to Umrah rituals and duas for more on the miqat and ihram.
Time difference: the UAE is one hour ahead of Saudi Arabia.

Once you know your flight times, share them with us and we will arrange your transfer from the airport to your hotel.

Coming to Umrah by Road from the UAE

Some families and groups drive from the UAE, entering Saudi Arabia at the Ghuwaifat–Al Batha border crossing. The drive to Makkah is well over 1,500 km, so most people plan at least one overnight stop on the way. Our services start once you are in Saudi Arabia; we do not arrange the road journey from the UAE.

If you are coming by road:

Check the current border, visa and vehicle requirements with official sources before you set off
Plan where you will enter ihram before reaching the miqat on your route
Tell us roughly when you expect to reach Makkah or Madinah, so your hotel and onward transport are ready
Driving and parking near the Haram can be difficult, so many pilgrims leave the car at the hotel and use our transport for Ziyarat and the Makkah–Madinah journey

Umrah from Dubai

Dubai is home to a large community of pilgrims, from families who have lived in the city for years to people travelling on their own. Whether you fly from Dubai International or another UAE airport, we arrange your hotels, transfers and ziyarat in Saudi Arabia around your dates, so your Umrah package from Dubai fits your plans rather than a fixed itinerary.

Short Trips and Long Weekends from Dubai

Because the flight is short, many pilgrims from Dubai perform Umrah over a long weekend or a public holiday. Tell us how many nights you have, and we will plan your stay and transfers around them so that you can make the most of a short Umrah trip from Dubai.

Family, Ramadan and Comfort-Focused Trips from Dubai

We arrange Umrah from Dubai for families with children and elderly relatives, for groups, and for pilgrims travelling in Ramadan, when Makkah and Madinah are at their busiest and hotels book up early. If comfort is your priority, we can look for hotels closer to the Haram and private transport. If you are working to a budget, we can suggest budget-friendly options such as triple or quad rooms, or hotels further from the Haram. See our guide to Makkah and Madinah hotels.

What Affects the Price of Umrah from Dubai?

We don’t publish fixed prices, because the cost of Umrah from Dubai depends on your travel dates, the hotels you choose and how close they are to the Haram, the number of travellers, the type of transport and how long you stay. Busy periods such as Ramadan and school holidays usually cost more. Share your plans with us and we will send you a quote for the services you need.

Umrah from Abu Dhabi

Pilgrims from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain usually fly from Zayed International Airport (AUH), while some prefer to fly from Dubai for more flight options. We plan your Umrah package from Abu Dhabi around whichever flights you choose, with hotels in Makkah and Madinah, airport transfers, transport between the two holy cities and ziyarat.

We are not a travel agency based in Abu Dhabi: our team is in Makkah and works with you directly over WhatsApp or by email.

Planning Your Umrah Flights from Abu Dhabi

We can arrange your airline tickets on request, or you can book your own flights. Many pilgrims in Abu Dhabi compare flights from Zayed International with those from Dubai International, especially when they need different dates or times. You can choose to land in Jeddah and begin with Umrah in Makkah, or land in Madinah and visit Masjid an-Nabawi first. Routes and schedules change, so check the current options with the airline or your booking site before you book.

Once your flights are booked, send us your flight details and your arrival and departure times. We will plan your airport transfer, hotel stay and transport between Makkah and Madinah around them. If you land late at night or leave early in the morning, let us know so that we can take this into account.

Family and Group Umrah from Abu Dhabi

Families, friends and community groups from Abu Dhabi can be arranged in one quote. Tell us how many people are travelling, including children and elderly relatives, and the rooms you need, and we will plan around your group.

Depending on your requirements and availability, we can look for family, triple or quad rooms, and for transport that suits the size of your group, from a private car for a family to a van, minibus or coach for larger groups. If anyone in your group needs extra help, for example an elderly parent who cannot walk long distances, mention it in your enquiry so that we can consider it when planning your hotels and transport.

All arrangements depend on your requirements and confirmed availability at the time of booking, and your quote will set out exactly what has been arranged for your group.

Umrah from Sharjah and Other Emirates

We also arrange Umrah for pilgrims from Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Al Ain. Many pilgrims from the northern emirates fly from Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) or Dubai, while those in Al Ain often fly from Abu Dhabi. Wherever you start, your Umrah package from Sharjah or any other emirate is planned around your flights and dates in the same way.

Makkahmadina does not issue visas, but we can apply for your visa on your behalf if you would like help, or you can apply yourself online.

Umrah from the UAE FAQs

Common questions from pilgrims travelling from the UAE.

Do your Umrah packages include flights or tickets?

Yes, if you would like a complete package. Our packages cover your arrangements in Saudi Arabia, such as accommodation, transport, ziyarat and guidance. We can arrange your flight tickets on request, or you can book your flight to Jeddah or Madinah yourself and we plan your arrangements around your arrival and departure times.

Do you have an office in the UAE?

No. Our team is based in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and we do not have an office in the UAE. We arrange everything with you directly by WhatsApp or email.

How much does a 15-day Umrah package cost?

The price depends on your travel dates, your hotels, the number of travellers and the services you need, so we don’t publish fixed prices. Tell us your plans, including how many days you want to stay, and we will send you a quote.

How will I receive my quote?

We normally send quotes via WhatsApp, or by email at makkahmadina11@yahoo.com if needed.

Can I do Umrah from the UAE over a long weekend?

Yes. Because the flight is short, many UAE residents come for just a few days. Send us your dates and we will plan hotels and transfers to fit. Hotels near the Haram fill up faster at busy times such as Ramadan and school holidays, so it helps to ask early.

We are driving from the UAE. Can you still help?

Yes. We can arrange your hotels in Makkah and Madinah, Ziyarat, and transport between the two cities, so you do not need to drive in the busy areas around the Haram. We do not arrange the road journey from the UAE itself.

Can I pay in UAE dirhams?

Yes. Payment is usually in cash, in any currency including dirhams, when the service starts or on arrival. There is no deposit for transport or Ziyarat. Hotel bookings may need an advance payment, decided case by case. If you prefer a bank transfer, we share the details privately on WhatsApp; bank details are never published on this website.
