Umrah cost planner

Put in the prices you have been quoted and see the full cost of your Umrah – in total and per person. We do not fill in prices for you: they change with the season, the hotel and the package.

For the whole group

What an Umrah budget includes

  • Flights to Jeddah or Madinah. Prices are highest in Ramadan (especially the last ten nights), school holidays and around Eid.
  • Visa. Many nationalities can now get a Saudi tourist e-visa that allows Umrah; others go through a licensed agent. Check the official Nusuk and Saudi visa platforms for the rules that apply to your passport.
  • Hotels in Makkah and Madinah, usually priced per room per night. Distance to the Haram makes the biggest difference to price.
  • Food for each person each day.
  • Transport: airport transfers and travel between Makkah and Madinah (car, coach or the Haramain high-speed train).
  • Ziyarat (visits to historic sites) and other costs: travel insurance, Ihram, phone data, gifts.

Package or do it yourself?

A package from a licensed operator bundles flights, visa, hotels and transfers, and can be simpler – especially for first-timers, elderly travellers or large families. Booking yourself can cost less and gives you more choice. Use this planner to price your own plan, then compare it with package quotes on a like-for-like basis (same hotels, same nights, same flights).

Worked example

Two travellers, 7 nights in Makkah and 4 in Madinah, one room. Quotes (example figures, not real prices): flights 650 each, visa 120 each, Makkah room 180 a night, Madinah room 120 a night, food 30 per person per day, transport 250 for the group.

  • Flights 1,300 + visas 240 + Makkah 1,260 + Madinah 480 + food 660 + transport 250 = 4,190 in total, 2,095 per person.

Tips

  • Check whether hotel prices include breakfast and taxes.
  • Keep some budget for the unexpected – changes to flights, an extra night, medical costs.
  • Use our currency converter if your quotes are in different currencies.

Ways to keep the cost down

  • Travel outside Ramadan and school holidays if you can – flights and hotels near the Haram are usually much cheaper.
  • Compare hotels a short walk further from the Haram, especially in Madinah.
  • Share a room: hotel prices are per room, so the cost per person falls when more people share.
  • Book the Haramain train between Makkah and Madinah early for the best fares.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Umrah cost?

It depends heavily on the season, how far your hotel is from the Haram, and your flights. Enter your own quotes in the planner for a real figure – we do not publish average prices because they would be out of date.

Why are there no prices filled in?

Because prices change all the time. A made-up average would mislead you; your own quotes give an honest total.

Is hotel cost per person or per room?

Hotels usually price per room per night. Enter the room price and the number of rooms; the planner works out the rest.

Can I mix currencies?

Use one currency for all the quotes. Convert any others first with the currency converter.
