Planning Umrah is a journey of the heart — but it also takes practical planning: visa, flights, hotels, transport, and knowing what to expect in Makkah and Madinah. This guide explains what a Famous Travels Umrah package includes, how to choose the right one for your family, and how to prepare step by step.
What’s included in our Umrah packages
Every Famous Travels Umrah package is built around the same essentials, so you can focus on ibadah instead of logistics:
- Umrah visa — we handle the visa process for you.
- Flights — direct flights arranged from Pakistan.
- Hotels close to Haram — stays in Makkah and Madinah, near the Haram, in both economy and 4/5-star options.
- All transfers — airport transfers and travel between Makkah and Madinah.
- Guided ziyarat — ziyarat in Makkah and Madinah arranged for your group.
Our standard package is 15 days / 14 nights, from PKR 285,000, with group departures every month. See the full package here: Umrah Package — Makkah & Madinah.
How to choose the right package
1. Economy or 4/5-star? Economy keeps the cost down with comfortable hotels a little further from Haram; 4/5-star puts you closer, with more comfort — best for elderly parents and young children.
2. How many days? Our standard package is 15 days / 14 nights, split between Makkah and Madinah. If you want a shorter or longer stay, ask us — we can arrange it.
3. Travelling with family? Tell us who is travelling — elderly parents, children, or anyone with limited mobility — and we will brief your group before departure and arrange help where needed.
4. Group or private? Monthly group departures are the best value and suit most travellers. Private arrangements are available if you want your own dates.
Not sure which fits? Call or WhatsApp 0301-4789898 and tell us your dates and who is travelling — we will suggest the right option, with no obligation.
How to prepare, step by step
Documents and visa. You will need a valid passport. Send us your documents and we handle the visa — we will tell you exactly what is needed and check everything before submission.
Book early. Group seats and hotels near Haram fill up, especially in Ramadan and school holidays. Booking early gives you better hotel choices. For the full checklist, read our step-by-step Umrah preparation guide.
What to pack. Ihram (for men), comfortable walking shoes or sandals, modest loose clothing, a small bag for the Haram, medicines you take regularly, and copies of your documents. Pack light — you will be walking a lot.
The rites of Umrah, in order. Ihram → Tawaf of the Kaaba → two rak’ahs at Maqam Ibrahim → Sa’i between Safa and Marwah → Halq or Taqsir (shaving or trimming the hair). Our team briefs every group before departure, so first-time pilgrims are never left guessing.
Tips for elderly travellers and families. Walk at your own pace, rest between prayers, stay hydrated, keep your hotel card and our contact number with you at all times, and agree a meeting point with your family inside the Haram.
