Non-shifting Hajj Packages

Non-Shifting Hajj Packages from the UK

A non-shifting Hajj package means you stay in one hotel in Makkah for your whole trip. You do not move to a second hotel during the days of Hajj. Qiblatain UK offers ATOL-protected, non-shifting Hajj packages 2027 from London and other UK cities. Flights, hotels near the Haram, Hajj visa, transport and a guide are all included.

What Is a Non-Shifting Hajj Package?

A non-shifting Hajj package gives you one hotel in Makkah from the day you arrive to the day you leave. You check in once and keep the same room. You only leave it for the five days of Hajj in Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah. Your bags stay in your room, and your bed is there waiting when you get back.

A shifting package works differently. With shifting, you move to another building during the days of Hajj. This second building is usually in Aziziyah, which is about two to three miles from the Haram. Hotels near the mosque cost the most during those days, so moving out saves money.

One thing to be clear about. "Shifting" only means shifting hotels. It has nothing to do with the Hajj itself. The Hajj you perform is the same with both packages. The difference is your comfort, your walking distance and your price.

Non-Shifting vs Shifting Hajj Packages: What Is the Difference?

People ask us this question more than any other. Here is a simple comparison:

There is no right or wrong answer here. It comes down to your health, your budget and how you want to spend those days. If price matters most to you, our shifting Hajj packages are a good option, and many of our pilgrims choose them and are very happy. You can also look at all our Hajj packages on one page and compare.

Why is the price gap so big?

During the days of Hajj, over two million pilgrims are in Makkah at the same time. Hotels near the Haram charge their highest prices of the year for those few nights. A non-shifting package keeps your room through those nights, so it costs more. A shifting package gives up that room and moves you somewhere cheaper, so it costs less. That is the whole reason. Once you know this, the choice becomes much easier.

Our Non-Shifting Hajj Packages 2027: The Options

We offer non-shifting Hajj packages from the UK at three levels. All three give you the main thing — one hotel, close to the Haram. The difference is the star rating, the distance and the meals.

5-Star Non-Shifting Hajj Packages

Our top option. Hotels in the Clock Tower area and other buildings right next to the Haram. Breakfast and dinner included, large rooms, and the shortest walk to prayer. This is the best choice for elderly parents, anyone with walking difficulties, and pilgrims who want the most comfort. These rooms sell out first every year.

4-Star Non-Shifting Hajj Packages

A good middle ground. Clean, well-run hotels a short walk from the Haram, with meals included on most options. This level suits families and small groups who want the non-shifting benefit without the 5-star price.

Economy Non-Shifting Hajj Packages

For pilgrims who want one fixed hotel but need to watch the budget. These hotels are a bit further out — usually a 10 to 15 minute walk, or a short bus ride. Rooms are simpler and shared rooms are available. You still avoid moving hotels in the middle of Hajj.

Every level includes flights, visa, transport, the Mina and Arafat arrangements and a guide. Tell us your budget and we will tell you honestly which level fits.

What Is Included in Every Package?

Whichever level you pick, your non-shifting Hajj package from Qiblatain UK includes:

• Return flights from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow or Bradford with airlines such as Saudi Airlines, British Airways, Qatar Airways and Emirates
• One fixed hotel in Makkah for your whole stay — no shifting
• A hotel in Madinah near Masjid an-Nabawi
• Hajj visa and Nusuk registration — we handle the paperwork with you
• Air-conditioned transport between Jeddah airport, Makkah, Madinah and the holy sites
• Tents in Mina and Arafat with meals during the five days of Hajj
• Qurbani (sacrifice) arranged for you
• An experienced English-speaking guide who stays with your group through every ritual
• Ziyarah tours of the historic Islamic sites in Makkah and Madinah
• A pre-departure seminar covering the rituals, what to pack and what to expect
• 24/7 UK-based support before, during and after your trip

Your price depends on your departure city, hotel level, room type (double, triple or quad) and dates. We give you a clear written quote. The price we quote is the price you pay. Nothing gets added later.

Your Hajj Journey with Us, Step by Step

Most first-time pilgrims tell us the same thing: not knowing what happens next is the most stressful part. So here is how a typical trip with us runs:

1. You fly out from the UK: Our team checks your documents before you leave.
2. Madinah first: Most of our packages start with a few calm days in Madinah. You pray in Masjid an-Nabawi and visit the historic sites before the busy days begin.
3. Travel to Makkah: You enter Ihram at the Miqat, arrive at your Makkah hotel, and perform your first Tawaf and Sa'i. This hotel is now your base until you fly home.
4. The days before Hajj: You rest, pray in the Haram day and night, and join our guide's talks. Your room is minutes away, so you can go back and rest between prayers.
5. The five days of Hajj: Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifah, the stoning of the Jamarat, Qurbani and Tawaf al-Ifadah. Your guide is with your group the whole way. And your room and bags stay exactly where you left them.
6. After Hajj: You come back to the same room, rest properly, and perform your farewell Tawaf without any rush.
7. Home: Transfer to Jeddah airport and your flight back to the UK.

This is the real value of non-shifting. On the hardest days of the journey, the one thing you never have to think about is where you will sleep.

Who Should Choose a Non-Shifting Package?

Non-shifting is the right choice if you are:

• Older, or travelling with elderly parents — no tiring hotel moves during the hardest days
• A family with children — one settled base makes life much easier with little ones
• Going for the first time — less to organise, so your mind stays on worship
• Living with a health problem or walking difficulty — a short walk to the Haram matters five times a day
• Someone who wants as much time in the Haram as possible — pray Fajr and Isha in the mosque and rest in your room in between

If you are young, healthy and travelling light, a shifting package will complete your Hajj just as fully, for less money. Ask us and we will give you a straight answer — even if that answer is the cheaper package.

How Much Does a Non-Shifting Hajj Package Cost?

Prices change every year. Four things decide what you pay:

1. The hotel and its distance — a 5-star by the Clock Tower costs far more than a 3-star fifteen minutes away
2. Your room type — quad sharing is the cheapest per person, a double room costs more
3. Your departure city and airline — direct flights cost more than one-stop flights
4. How early you book — prices go up as the hotels near the Haram fill

As a rough guide, non-shifting Hajj packages from the UK start from a mid-four-figure sum per person at economy level, and rise from there for 4-star and 5-star. Saudi quotas, Nusuk prices and hotel rates are confirmed at different times each year, so we do not print fixed prices that could turn out to be wrong. Call us on 0203 900 0999 and we will give you today's real price in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does non-shifting mean in a Hajj package?

It means you keep the same hotel in Makkah for your whole trip. You do not move to a second hotel during the days of Hajj. You only leave your room for the rituals in Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah, and your bags stay where they are.

What is the difference between shifting and non-shifting Hajj?

With non-shifting, you stay in one hotel near the Haram from start to finish. With shifting, you move to a second, cheaper hotel — usually in Aziziyah — during the peak days of Hajj. The rituals are exactly the same with both. Only the hotels are different.

Are non-shifting Hajj packages more expensive?

Yes, normally. Hotels near the Haram charge their highest prices during the days of Hajj. A non-shifting package keeps your room through those nights, so it costs more. A shifting package avoids those nights, so it costs less.

Is a non-shifting Hajj package worth the extra money?

For many people, yes. You skip the packing and moving during the most tiring days of the trip, and you stay within walking distance of the Haram for every prayer. It is worth it most of all for older pilgrims, families, and anyone with health or walking difficulties.

Do your non-shifting Hajj packages include flights from the UK?

Yes. All our packages include return flights from major UK airports — London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Bradford — with airlines such as Saudi Airlines, British Airways, Qatar Airways and Emirates.

Do I have to register with Nusuk to do Hajj from the UK?

Yes. Saudi Arabia now requires UK pilgrims to book Hajj through the official Nusuk system. We are an authorised operator, and we take you through the Nusuk registration step by step so nothing is missed.

Is Qiblatain UK ATOL protected for Hajj bookings?

Yes. Qiblatain (Travixum Ltd, ATOL 12192) is ATOL protected and authorised by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. Your booking and your money are protected under UK law.

How far are your non-shifting hotels from the Haram?

It depends on the level you choose. Our 5-star hotels are right next to the Haram. The 4-star hotels are a short walk away. Economy options are usually a 10 to 15 minute walk or a short bus ride. We confirm the exact hotel and distance in your written quote before you book.

When should I book my Hajj package for 2027?

As early as you can. Hotels near the Haram sell out months in advance, and UK visa quotas are limited. Booking early also gets you better flights and a lower price.

Can I change or customise my package?

Yes. We can change your hotel level, room type, departure airport and how long you stay in Madinah to fit your budget. Call us on 0203 900 0999 and we will put a quote together for you.
