Glasgow Umrah Packages — Flights, Visa & Hotels Near the Haram
Qiblatain UK arranges complete Umrah packages from Glasgow. Your package covers return flights from Glasgow Airport, your Umrah visa, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, and transfers in Saudi Arabia. Every package with flights is ATOL protected (Licence No. 12192). Call 0203 900 0999 or send us a WhatsApp message for a free quote.
If you live in Glasgow, you'll know the problem. Most Umrah agents are based in London or Birmingham. The flight routes from Scotland are confusing. And some companies promise a hotel "near the Haram" that turns out to be a twenty-minute walk away.
We do things differently. Qiblatain UK is a Hajj Umrah travel agency that has looked after British pilgrims since 2010. We sort your flights, visa, hotels and transfers into one package at one clear price. You focus on your worship. We handle the rest.
Why Book Your Umrah Package from Glasgow with Qiblatain UK?
You're trusting us with your savings and a journey your family may have waited years for. So here's why pilgrims in Glasgow choose us — in plain terms:
- Your money is protected by law: We hold ATOL licence No. 12192. If anything goes wrong with a supplier, you don't lose your money or your trip. You can check our licence yourself at https://caa.co.uk/.
- We've done this for over 15 years: more than 1,000 pilgrims have travelled with us since 2010, and you can read what they say about us on Trustpilot.
- We tell you the real distance to the Haram: In writing before you pay. If the hotel is an eight-minute walk, we say eight minutes. Not "moments away".
- We handle your visa properly: We process Umrah visas through Nusuk, the official Saudi system. That includes Glasgow residents who don't hold a UK passport.
- You speak to a real person: Ring 0203 900 0999 and you get a UK-based advisor who knows your booking. And while you're in Makkah, we're one WhatsApp message away.
- The price we quote is the price you pay: No booking fees. No surprise extras. No pressure.
How Much Does an Umrah Package from Glasgow Cost?
An Umrah package from Glasgow usually costs between £1380 and £1847 per person. The price depends on when you travel, how close your hotel is to the Haram, and how long you stay. Ramadan is the dearest time of year. January, February and September are normally the cheapest.
Here's what your money gets at each level:
|
Package Type |
Hotel Standard | Typical Stay |
Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Economy |
3-star, short walk or shuttle to the Haram | 5–10 nights |
Pilgrims on a budget and groups |
|
Standard |
4-star, close to the Haram | 5–10 nights |
Families and first-time pilgrims |
|
Luxury |
5-star, next to or facing the Haram | 5–14 nights |
Elderly pilgrims and anyone wanting extra comfort |
One honest tip: Book three to six months before you travel. You'll pay less for flights, and you'll get a room while the hotels nearest the Haram still have space. Leave it late and you pay more for less.

Flights from Glasgow Airport to Jeddah and Madinah
There are no direct flights from Glasgow to Saudi Arabia at the moment. You'll fly with one stop — usually Istanbul with Turkish Airlines, Doha with Qatar Airways, Dubai with Emirates, or Amsterdam with KLM. Door to door, the journey takes around 10 to 14 hours.
Which route suits you best? It depends. Turkish Airlines is often the cheapest from Glasgow. Qatar Airways and Emirates give you more baggage, which matters when you're bringing Zamzam water home. And here's something many pilgrims don't know: you can fly into Madinah and home from Jeddah. That cuts out a long road journey. We compare all the options for you, so you don't end up paying more for a worse connection.
Popular Umrah Packages from Glasgow
Ramadan Umrah Packages from Glasgow
The Prophet ﷺ said that Umrah in Ramadan equals the reward of Hajj. So it's no surprise this is the busiest time of year. We offer packages for the first ten nights, the last ten nights — including Laylat al-Qadr — or the whole month. Fair warning: hotels near the Haram sell out months before Ramadan starts. If this is the trip you want, book early.
December and School Holiday Umrah Packages
December works well for Scottish families. The kids are off school, and the weather in Makkah is pleasant rather than punishing. We also provides packages over the Easter and summer breaks, with flight times chosen with children in mind.
Family and Group Umrah Packages from Glasgow
Taking your elderly mum? Travelling with a toddler? We've arranged both many times. We can sort wheelchair help at Glasgow Airport and inside the Haram, rooms next to each other, baby cots, and an itinerary with proper time to rest. Mosque groups from Glasgow and across Scotland get group discounts, and bigger groups can travel with their own group leader.
Tailor-Made Umrah from Glasgow
Or tell us exactly what you want — your airline, your hotel, your dates — and we'll price it for you. From a simple economy trip to a Haram-view suite.

Umrah Visa for Glasgow Pilgrims
If you hold a UK passport, your Umrah visa normally comes through within 24 to 72 hours via the official Nusuk system. You'll need a passport with at least six months left on it and a passport-sized photo. If you live in Glasgow but hold a different passport, you can usually still get a visa — you may just need extra documents, such as your biometric residence permit.
We check every application before it goes in. That's why refusals among our customers are extremely rare. Saudi rules change from season to season, and we keep up with them so you don't have to.
Serving Pilgrims Across Glasgow and Scotland
Whether you're in Pollokshields, Govanhill, the Southside or the West End, Glasgow Airport is on your doorstep. We also look after pilgrims from Edinburgh, Paisley, Dundee and Aberdeen who'd rather fly from Glasgow than trek down to an English airport.
Got family in Yorkshire making the journey at the same time? We can arrange their Umrah Packages from Bradford alongside yours so you all reach Makkah together even when you fly from different airports.
