The UK has a large Muslim community, and Umrah flights from London, Manchester, and Birmingham are in high demand year-round. The main entry points are Jeddah (JED) for Makkah-focused visits and Madinah (MED) for those beginning their journey at the Prophet's Mosque.
Direct flights are available from London Heathrow and Manchester with Saudi Arabian Airlines, flynas, British Airways, and Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul). Indirect routings can save significant money, especially via Dubai or Istanbul.
Visa requirements have changed significantly — Saudi Arabia now offers eVisa for many nationalities. Apply at least 4 weeks before travel. Mahram requirements for women vary — check the latest rules as restrictions have been progressively relaxed.
Our UK-based flight experts are ready to help you find the best deal.
