Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and, for most of us, a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Booking it should not feel stressful. Qiblatain UK is a London-based Islamic travel agency established for 15+ years, and we are ATOL protected (ATOL 12192) and authorised by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. That means your money is protected by UK law, and your pilgrimage is arranged through official Saudi channels — not through shortcuts that put your trip at risk.

Every year we help British Muslims from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Leicester and Glasgow perform Hajj with clear pricing, honest advice and support at every step, from your first phone call to the moment you land back home.

Every Qiblatain Hajj package includes the essentials, so there are no surprise costs later:

• Return flights from major UK airports with trusted airlines such as Saudia, British Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines
• Hajj visa processing through the official Nusuk system, handled fully by our team
• Hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, chosen for comfort and distance from the Haram
• Mina and Arafat arrangements, including tent accommodation during the days of Hajj
• Air-conditioned transport between Jeddah or Madinah airport, your hotels and the holy sites
• Ziyarah tours of the blessed places in Makkah and Madinah
• Religious guidance from experienced group leaders who explain each ritual step by step

Shifting or Non-Shifting Hajj Package: Which One Is Right for You?

A shifting package moves you to accommodation in Aziziyah (further from the Haram) during the five main days of Hajj, which keeps the price down. A non-shifting package keeps you in the same hotel near the Haram for your whole stay — it costs more, but it is far easier on the body.

Shifting Hajj Packages — best value You stay in a hotel near the Haram for most of your trip, then move to the Aziziyah area during the main Hajj days (8th–13th Dhul Hijjah). The extra travel takes effort, but the saving is significant.

Ideal for: younger pilgrims, groups of friends, and anyone booking on a careful budget.

Non-Shifting Hajj Packages — maximum comfort One hotel, one room, for your entire stay — no packing, no moving, and you return to your own bed near the Haram after each ritual. During the most physically demanding days of your life, that comfort is worth a great deal.

Ideal for: elderly pilgrims, families with children, anyone with health conditions, and first-timers who want the smoothest possible journey.

Still not sure? Call us on 0203 900 0999 — we will honestly tell you which option suits your health, budget and group, even if it is the cheaper one. After 30 years, our advice is simple: choose shifting if you are fit and saving matters; choose non-shifting if comfort matters more than cost.

Hajj Cost from the UK: 2027 Price Guide

Hajj packages from the UK generally cost starting from £4,022+ per person for 2027. Your final price depends on three things: how close your hotel is to the Haram, whether you choose a shifting or non-shifting package, and how early you book.

Here is what each budget level realistically gets you:

Economy Hajj Packages

The most affordable way to perform Hajj. Expect a shifting package with 3-star hotels, shared rooms, and accommodation a short bus or walk from the Haram. Ideal for younger pilgrims and anyone on a careful budget — you still get flights, visa, transport, Mina arrangements and full guidance.

Standard Hajj Packages

The most popular choice for British families. Better 4-star hotels, closer to the Haram, smaller room shares, and a choice of shifting or non-shifting options. A sensible balance of comfort and cost.

Premium Hajj Packages

Non-shifting throughout, 5-star hotels within walking distance of the Haram, upgraded Mina tents and the highest level of personal service. Best for elderly pilgrims, those with health needs, or anyone who wants maximum comfort on this once-in-a-lifetime journey.

When Should You Book Hajj 2027?

Book as early as possible — ideally 8 to 12 months before departure. Hajj 2027 is expected to fall in mid-May 2027 (subject to moon sighting). Booking early typically saves £500 to £1,500 per person and gives you the best choice of hotels. Saudi Arabia allocates Hajj places through the official Nusuk system, and UK quotas fill up quickly, so late bookers often find limited availability rather than just higher prices.

Qiblatain accepts early reservations with a deposit, so you can secure your place now and spread the remaining cost before you travel. Ask our team about payment options when you call.

If you would like to visit Makkah and Madinah before Hajj season, take a look at our Umrah Packages — a shorter pilgrimage you can perform at any time of year, and a wonderful way to prepare spiritually for Hajj.

Why Book Your Hajj with Qiblatain UK?

There are many Hajj operators in the UK, and sadly, every year some pilgrims lose money to unlicensed agents. Here is why thousands of British Muslims trust Qiblatain:

• ATOL protected (ATOL 12192) — your money is legally protected. You can verify our licence at https://caa.co.uk.
• Authorised by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah — your visa and Hajj permit go through official channels.
• 30 years of experience — we have guided pilgrims through decades of changing rules, including the new Nusuk system.
• UK-based team — call us on a UK number, speak to someone who understands British pilgrims, and get answers in plain English.
• Transparent pricing — a fully itemised quote before you pay a penny. No hidden extras.
• Religious guidance included — experienced group leaders walk you through Ihram, Tawaf, Sa'i, Arafat, Muzdalifah, Mina and the stoning of the Jamarat, so first-time pilgrims never feel lost.

Qiblatain is the trading name of Travixum Ltd (Company Number 13555073), registered in England. We put our company details in writing because trust matters — always check any Hajj operator's ATOL number and company registration before paying a deposit.

How to Book Your Hajj Package: 4 Simple Steps

1. Call or WhatsApp us — 0203 900 0999 or +44 7377 674 610. Tell us your budget, group size and preferences.
2. Receive your itemised quote — we will recommend the right package and put every cost in writing.
3. Secure your place with a deposit — you receive your ATOL certificate, which legally protects your payment.
4. Prepare with our guidance — we handle your visa and Nusuk registration, and send you a pre-departure pack covering documents, vaccinations (meningitis ACWY is required) and what to expect.

From then on, our team is with you at every stage — at the airport, in Makkah, in Madinah, at Mina and Arafat, and all the way home.

Benefits of Booking a Hajj Package with Qiblatain

Why book a package instead of arranging everything yourself? In short: you cannot. Hajj visas are only issued through licensed operators on the official Nusuk system, so every UK pilgrim needs an authorised agency. Beyond that, a good package gives you real, practical benefits:

• One clear price for everything — flights, hotels, visa, transport and Mina arrangements in a single quote, so you can budget properly with no nasty surprises
• Your money is legally protected — our ATOL cover means that if anything goes wrong with the operator, you get your money back or your trip completed
• No paperwork stress — we handle the visa, Nusuk registration and permits, which saves you weeks of confusing admin
• You are never alone — you travel with a group and an experienced guide, which matters enormously in crowds of two million pilgrims
• Worship, not logistics — with transport, food and accommodation sorted, you can give your full attention to the reason you came
• Help when you need it — illness, lost documents, missed transport: our on-the-ground team deals with problems so you do not have to
• Better value than booking alone — our 30 years of airline and hotel relationships get rates that individual travellers simply cannot access during Hajj season

10 Practical Tips for First-Time Hajj Pilgrims

Our guides have accompanied thousands of British pilgrims. These are the tips they share most often:

1. Book 8–12 months early. You will save money, get better hotels, and avoid the panic of chasing the last few UK places.
2. Start walking now. Hajj involves 15–25 km of walking on the main days. Build up to a daily 5 km walk in the months before you travel — your feet will thank you at Arafat.
3. Break in your footwear. Comfortable, worn-in sandals or walking shoes prevent the blisters that ruin many pilgrims' Hajj days.
4. See your GP early. The meningitis ACWY jab is compulsory and must be done at least 10 days before travel. Sort any regular medication too, and carry it in your hand luggage with the prescription.
5. Download the Nusuk app before you fly. It holds your permits and is needed for Rawdah bookings in Madinah. Set it up in the UK where you have easy internet.
6. Learn the rituals before you go. Attend a Hajj seminar or read a good guide. Knowing why you do each ritual makes the experience far more meaningful — our group leaders also explain everything on the ground.
7. Pack light, pack right. Two sets of Ihram for men, unscented soap and sunscreen, a small backpack for the Mina days, a power bank, and comfortable, modest clothing. Heavy suitcases are a burden in Makkah.
8. Keep copies of your documents. Photograph your passport, visa and ATOL certificate. Store copies on your phone and leave a set with family in the UK.
9. Drink water constantly. Saudi heat in Hajj season regularly passes 40°C. Zamzam water stations are everywhere — use them, and use an umbrella for shade at Arafat.
10. Be patient with the crowds. Delays, queues and pushing are part of Hajj. Prepare your heart for it — patience is itself an act of worship on this journey.
