8-Day Sample Itinerary:

Al Shafie Travels also provides customized Umrah packages with different stays. Explore our other packages: 

• 7-days Umrah Package

Example: 3N Madinah + 4N Makkah (+ travel days) or 5N/2N options

3N Madinah → 4N Makkah: Perfect for early arrivals in Madinah. Extra time allows visits to Masjid Nabawi and rest before traveling to Makkah.

5N Makkah → 2N Madinah: Ideal if starting via Jeddah or prioritizing more time at Haram. Extra days let pilgrims perform more prayers and optional ziyarah visits.

Tip: Pilgrims arriving late at night may choose 2N Madinah → 5N Makkah. This reduces travel fatigue and maximizes time at Haram.

Group departures vs private/family custom plans

Group departures: Lower cost, shared transport, and hotels. A fixed schedule is easy to follow.

Private/family plans: Flexible timing for prayers and rest. Choose preferred room type and hotel class. More privacy for families and seniors.

Recommendation: Private transfers are best for families or first-time pilgrims to reduce fatigue.

How much does an 8-day package cost?

Rates fluctuate depending on the hotel, flights and type of room. An 8-day Umrah package starts with budget- choices but also offers premium selections. Expenses differ according to travel dates, hotel selection and whether flights are included.

With-flights vs land-only — which should I choose?

Flights-included packages offer convenience where land-only can save money. Most travelers pick flight-inclusive packages to reduce stress and simplify transfers. Land-only works when airfare is cheaper or you want flexible flight choices.

Options you can choose:

• Flight-inclusive: Packages feature 1-stop flights, airport pickup, hotel transfers and meet & assist services.
• Land-only: Book flights separately, use frequent-flyer miles, arrange transfers independently.

Options available: If you are a senior or wish to travel with family our packages including flights suit you. Those on a budget, with travel dates might opt for land-only deals.

Typical 1-stop routes to JED/MED; when land-only makes sense

• Common carriers are Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Emirates (1-stop from US cities)
• Direct options includes Saudia offers nonstop flights from select US airports
• Choose land-only option if you want to use miles, flexible schedules, or nearby country entries
