AlKhair Travel

AlKhair Travel, a British agency for tailor-made Umrah packages

AlKhair Travel is a UK travel agency focused on organising and booking Umrah packages. According to its presentation, it has offered tailor-made packages since 2002 and works with pilgrims looking to adjust duration, budget, accommodation and flights to their own preferences. The company explicitly targets the British Muslim public.

Its offering is built around customisation: the client states their budget, dates, hotel category, airline and special requirements, and the agency team finds combinations of flights, hotels and local transport that match those criteria. The website mentions agreements with airlines, hotels and local transport providers, as well as discounts available in its catalogue.

Package configuration: flights, stay and transfers

The service allows you to choose the departure airport from various UK cities, such as London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Glasgow or Manchester, with direct or connecting flights depending on the preferred airline. The stay is arranged in partner 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels in Makkah and Madinah, selected according to proximity to the Grand Mosque or the Prophet's Mosque, the level of services and the budget.

Duration is flexible: the agency offers stays of 5, 7, 10, 15 or 21 nights. Local transfers and transport for Ziyarat visits are also included, as well as the visa and flights in the modalities that the catalogue presents as complete.

Accommodation levels and price ranges

The offer is structured into commercial categories that combine hotel category and distance to the sacred precinct:

• Platinum (5-star): hotels with direct views of the Grand Mosque, from £1,275 per person according to the catalogue.
• Diamond (5-star): accommodation within walking distance of the Grand Mosque, from £1,160 per person.
• Gold (5-star): luxury hotels a few hundred metres away, from £1,080 per person.
• Gold (4-star): hotels a few minutes' walk from the precinct.
• Bronze (4-star): accommodation a few kilometres away, with a regular shuttle service to the Grand Mosque.
• Silver (3-star): budget options at driving distance, with essential services.

The catalogue showed specific examples: 14 nights in a 4-star hotel from £995 per person, 10 nights from £840 and 7 nights from £775, with visa and flights included and stay in Makkah and Madinah. In the 3-star category, 14 nights appeared from £990 and 10 nights from £895.

Pilgrim profiles and seasons

The agency segments its packages by type of traveller: families, groups of between 5 and 50 pilgrims, couples and women travelling alone, for whom it offers specific accommodation and transfers. It also sells seasonal Umrah packages for Ramadan and for December, with 3-, 4- and 5-star variants, and options with departure planned in 2026 and 2027.

Booking, payment and protection

Booking can be formalised with a deposit from £50 per person and the rest paid in monthly instalments without additional surcharges, according to the website information. The agency states that all its Umrah packages are ATOL protected. To request a quote, the site has a form with contact details, number of adults and acceptance of terms and privacy policy.

The company presents a rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 1,017 reviews on review platforms, and claims to have more than ten years of experience and more than twenty awards received.
