3-Star 7 Nights December Umrah Package 2026 from the UK
This Cheap Umrah 2026 holiday package is designed for efficiency and value. Departing from London Heathrow (LHR) with Kuwait Airways, you will spend 7 nights divided between the modern luxury of Voco Makkah and the central convenience of Odst Al Madinah.

Package Details:
Start 2027 in the best way possible.
The 3-Star 7 Nights December Umrah Package 2026 from TravelApp UK costs £888 per person (quad sharing). It departs London Heathrow on Wednesday 23 December 2026 with Kuwait Airways and lands back on Friday 1 January 2027.
You stay at voco Makkah, a 4-star hotel with a free shuttle to Masjid al-Haram, and Odst Al Madinah, about a 9-minute walk from the Prophet’s Mosque. Return flights, private transfers between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah, and the Saudi visa waiver for British citizens are all included. The package is ATOL protected.
The dates fall inside most UK schools’ Christmas holidays, so families can travel without taking children out of school. It is designed for value: room only, so you choose where to eat near the Haram, and quad rooms to keep the price per person down.

Which Hotels Are Included? voco Makkah and Odst Al Madinah
The December Umrah package uses voco Makkah, a 4-star IHG hotel with a free shuttle to Masjid al-Haram, and Odst Al Madinah, a 3-star hotel about 550m from the Prophet’s Mosque.
| City | Hotel | Stay | Check-in | Check-out | Room Type | Meal Plan | Distance to Haram |
| Makkah | voco Makkah (4-star) | 5 Nights | 23 Dec | 28 Dec | Quad Room | Room Only | About 1.3km; free hotel shuttle to Masjid al-Haram |
| Madinah | Odst Al Madinah (3-star) | 3 Nights | 28 Dec | 31 Dec | Quad Room | Room Only | About 550m; around an 8 to 9-minute walk to Masjid an-Nabawi |
Voco Makkah
Voco Makkah is a modern IHG hotel on Ibrahim Al Khalil Street, about 1.3km from Masjid al-Haram. It is not within easy walking distance, so most guests use the hotel’s free shuttle, which runs throughout the day and night. The exact route, drop-off point and frequency will be confirmed before you travel.
The trade-off is worth knowing: you get a newer 4-star room at a 3-star package price, in exchange for a shuttle ride to prayers rather than a walk.
Odst Al Madinah
Odst Al Madinah is a 3-star hotel in Madinah’s Northern Central Area, listed at about a 9-minute walk to the men’s section and 8 minutes to the ladies’ section of Masjid an-Nabawi. That makes it practical to walk to all five daily prayers during your three nights.

Is December a Good Time for Umrah from the UK?
Yes. December is one of the most practical times for UK pilgrims to perform Umrah, because the Christmas school holidays and bank holidays free up time, and Makkah and Madinah are much milder than in summer.
- School holidays: this package runs from 23 December to 1 January, inside most UK schools' Christmas break. Term dates vary by council, so check your school's term dates on GOV.UK.
- Bank holidays: Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day (UK bank holidays) fall within the trip, which keeps the annual leave you need to a minimum.
- Milder weather: winter is the most comfortable season for walking to the Haram and performing Tawaf and Sa'i during the day.
- Start the new year in the Holy Cities: you spend New Year's Eve travelling home after a week of worship in Makkah and Madinah.
December is also a popular month for UK departures, so rooms and flights around Christmas tend to fill early. For a wider view of your options, see our guide to Umrah packages from the UK.
