Meeca Travels: Umrah and Hajj packages from Luton

Meeca Travels is a travel agency based in Luton, United Kingdom, focused on pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia. Its catalogue centres on Umrah and Hajj packages, with seasonal variants for December, Easter and Ramadan, alongside a separate holiday-package line. The company presents itself as a trusted partner since 2005 and states that it has helped thousands of pilgrims perform Umrah and Hajj.

In its own presentation, the agency describes itself as IATA accredited and ATOL protected, and says it works with transparent pricing and no hidden charges. It also advertises customer support and a team that assists clients in planning their holy trips to Makkah and Madinah.

Package structure and what is included

The standard Umrah packages combine visa processing, round-trip airline tickets, hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, ground transportation and Ziyarah, the visits to religious sites. The agency states that custom packages are available according to client preferences and that flight-only or land-only options can be requested.

Packages are organised by duration and hotel category. The catalogue displayed at the time of writing listed December departures of 10, 14 and 21 nights in 3-, 4- and 5-star versions, each including flight, transport, visa and hotel. The advertised prices ranged from £1295 for the 10-night 3-star and 4-star options to £2199 for the 21-night 4-star package, with the 21-night 5-star option listed at £1995.

Flights, hotels and transport

The agency highlights short transit times on flights, hotel views of the Haram and what it describes as reliable, secure and comfortable transport. It also advertises direct connections with hotels in Makkah and Madinah and a lowest-price guarantee, alongside a best price promise. Deposits are advertised from £25 per person with monthly payment options.

Free Ziyarahs to holy places and fast visa approval are presented as part of the service. The site also references round-trip flights with live tickets booked together with hotels.

Visa guidance and travel requirements

Meeca Travels handles the complete Umrah visa application process and publishes guidance on the documents required: a passport valid for at least six months, recent passport-size photographs, proof of relationship for women or children travelling with a male guardian, confirmed airline and hotel bookings, and a vaccination certificate, particularly for meningitis.

According to the information on the site, an Umrah visa is usually valid for 30 days from issuance, while the stay in Saudi Arabia must not exceed 14 days and the visa must be used within its validity period. It also states that women over 18 may perform Umrah without a Mahram if travelling in a group or with a licensed travel agency under current Saudi regulations, while elsewhere it notes that women under 45 must be accompanied by a Mahram and that those over 45 may travel in groups with proper documentation.

On health requirements, the agency indicates that travellers must present a valid meningitis vaccination certificate taken at least 10 days before travel and no older than three years, and that COVID-19 vaccination is recommended or required according to Saudi guidelines.

Families, groups and support

The agency advertises discounted rates for families and group bookings, with custom quotes tailored to the size of the group and its travel needs. It also refers to experienced tour guides assisting clients with planning and to customer support throughout the trip.

Payment and booking

Payments are described as encrypted and transmitted under an SSL protocol. The site includes a quote request form that asks for departure airport, destination, duration, departure date, number of guests and contact details.
