An Umrah package by air from Dubai suits pilgrims who want to spend their leave in Makkah and Madinah rather than on the road. Our air packages run as a 5-night, 6-day trip: three nights in Makkah, two nights in Madinah, and Flydubai flights that leave Dubai every Tuesday. You fly into Jeddah, continue to Makkah the same day and fly home from Madinah at the end, so there is no need to travel back to Jeddah for the return. The package cards on this page show the hotels and the current price for each room type, and our Dubai team confirms your seats before you pay anything.
How the six days run
On departure day the group meets at Dubai airport three hours before the flight, following the briefing we send in advance. The current schedule uses flight FZ897, leaving Dubai at 14:30 and landing in Jeddah at 16:30, although the airline can change its timings. After arrival formalities you transfer to your hotel in Makkah and perform Umrah with a guide beside you, which first-time pilgrims usually find reassuring.
Day two includes a guided ziyarat of the historic places around Makkah by bus. Day three is kept free for prayers in the Haram and rest. On day four you perform the farewell tawaf, check out and travel from Makkah to Madinah on the Haramain train. The fifth day brings a guided visit to the historic sites of Madinah and time to pray at Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah. On day six you check out according to your flight time, transfer to Madinah airport and fly back to Dubai. The return flight currently scheduled is FZ872, leaving Madinah at 16:55 and landing in Dubai at 20:45, and the group is assisted right up to departure.
Choosing a hotel category
The flights and the itinerary are the same in all four categories. What changes is the hotel, and with it the price.
Economy: Bytul Ajyad or Safwat Hotel in Makkah, and Waqf Othman or Al Madinah in Madinah, all within walking distance of the two mosques.
Standard: Infinity Hotel in Makkah, and Waqf Othman or Ramal Madinah Hotel in Madinah, also within walking distance.
4 star: Al Massa Grand or Shuhada Hotel in Makkah, and Saja Madinah or Jawar in Madinah, within walking distance and with breakfast included.
5 star: Fairmont Clock Tower in Makkah and Anwar Al Madinah Movenpick in Madinah, with breakfast included.
Where a category lists two hotels, our team confirms which one you will stay in when you book. If you would like to look at more properties first, you can browse our hotels in Makkah and Madinah.
What the package includes
Every air package includes return Flydubai flights with 20 kg of checked baggage and 7 kg of hand luggage, hotel accommodation in both cities, ground transport in Saudi Arabia, guided visits to the historic places and a group guide. The 4 star and 5 star packages also include breakfast. Other meals are not included, so set aside a food budget for both cities.
The Umrah visa is not part of the package price. Our team can process the Umrah eVisa separately for eligible UAE residents and visitors, including urgent applications, and if you already hold a valid Saudi visa you can still join the group and we will adjust the quote. The Umrah visa from Dubai page explains the process in more detail.
Rooms, families and prices
Prices are per person and depend on the hotel category and the room you choose. You can book a double, triple or quad room, and single rooms are available in every category for pilgrims travelling alone. Families often take a triple or quad room so they can stay together, and on the 5 star package triple and quad rooms are private family rooms rather than shared with other pilgrims. Child and infant rates are listed separately on each package, which makes it easy to work out a family total before you get in touch.
Hotel rates in Makkah and Madinah change through the year, so the package cards always show the live AED price rather than a figure fixed in the text. If the price for your preferred week looks different from what you expected, ask the team to check a neighbouring Tuesday.
Who flying suits
Travelling by air keeps the whole trip within a single working week, which suits professionals in Dubai and Sharjah with limited leave. The short flight is also easier on elderly parents, young children and anyone who finds long road journeys tiring. If you would rather spend less and stay longer, our Umrah package by bus gives eight nights in the holy cities for a lower price, and our comparison of air and bus Umrah sets out the differences side by side.
Before you travel
To book, send a copy of a passport valid for more than six months, your Emirates ID copy and one photograph. A flu vaccination card is optional at the moment, and we will tell you if your nationality needs anything extra. Many visit visa holders in the UAE can also apply depending on nationality, so send your passport and UAE visa copy for a free eligibility check. Women may travel for Umrah without a mahram under current Saudi rules, subject to visa and airline requirements, while children under 18 must travel with a parent or legal guardian.
Umrah and Rawdah visits are booked through the official Nusuk app, and our guides help the group obtain these permits after arrival. Keep your ihram, medication and travel documents in your 7 kg hand luggage so they are with you when you land, and use our Umrah packing list to plan the rest of your bag.
How to book
Pick the category and room type that fit your group, then WhatsApp or call our Dubai office with your preferred Tuesday. We check flight seats and hotel availability, confirm your visa steps and send the final price before you pay. Groups can ask us about extra dates, and if the fixed itinerary does not match your leave, you can build a custom package with your own dates, hotels and transport.
