Umrah packages from Indonesia typically cost between IDR 25 million and IDR 55 million per person in 2026, depending on hotel tier, flight routing, and season. Indonesia sends one of the world’s largest Umrah contingents each year, and the market is regulated by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah — which means your travel provider must hold a valid PPIU license.
What a typical Umrah package from Indonesia looks like in 2026
Most packages combine Makkah and Madinah over 9–12 days. The split is usually 4–5 nights in each city, with ground transport between them included.
Packages are sold in tiers. Which one you choose mainly comes down to hotel proximity to Masjidil Haram and whether your flight is direct or transit.
What’s included vs what’s often extra
Before comparing prices, compare what you’re actually buying. Ask for a written breakdown with hotel names and room details.
- Usually included: Umrah visa processing, hotels in Makkah and Madinah (with hotel names stated), airport transfers in Saudi Arabia, intercity transport between the two cities, and mutawwif (religious guide) services.
- Often extra (confirm): International flights, meals (or which meals on which days), ziyarat tours, room upgrades (type/view), extra nights, travel insurance, and the meningitis vaccination.
Package tiers and pricing
There is no single standard price — the total varies based on when you travel, hotel quality, and flight routing. Here’s what packages generally look like as of 2026, according to data from BFI Finance and licensed PPIU operators.
| Package Tier | Estimated Cost (per person) | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Economy | IDR 25–31 million | 3–4 star hotels, 400–600m from Masjidil Haram, transit flights |
| Standard | IDR 32–37 million | 4–5 star hotels, 150–300m away, direct flights prioritized |
| Premium / VIP | IDR 39–55+ million | Ring 1 hotels (adjacent to Haram), direct flights, smaller group sizes |
What drives the price up or down
- Seasonality: Ramadan and school holidays (June–July, December) push prices higher across all tiers.
- Flight routing: Direct flights on Garuda Indonesia or Saudia cost more than transit options via Emirates, Etihad, or Oman Air. Airline tickets account for roughly 40–50% of the total package cost.
- Room occupancy: Quad or triple sharing is cheapest per person. Double and single occupancy can increase the per-person cost significantly.
- Currency fluctuations: Hotel and ground service costs are denominated in SAR or USD, so the IDR exchange rate directly affects your total.
If your package is land-only (no flights included), compare routes and fares early on Wego flights to Jeddah or flights to Madinah to avoid expensive last-minute bookings.
Flights from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia
Garuda Indonesia and Saudia operate direct flights from Jakarta to both Jeddah and Madinah. Flight time is approximately 10 hours each way.
For budget-friendly alternatives, transit routes via Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Muscat on Emirates, Etihad, or Oman Air can bring the airfare down — though they add travel time.
Departure cities beyond Jakarta
Packages also depart from Surabaya, Makassar, Medan, and other major cities. Flights from these cities typically transit through Jakarta or connect via a Gulf hub.
If you’re booking flights separately from your package, compare options on Wego and lock in your fare early — prices climb steeply as the departure window narrows, especially during peak umrah months.
Umrah season dates and the Hajj-season closure
Saudi Arabia suspends Umrah visas and Nusuk permits for a period around Hajj each year. Before booking, confirm that your planned travel dates fall within an active Umrah season.
The 1448 AH season is open now. Visa issuance resumed on May 31, 2026. The last Umrah visa of this season will be issued on March 9, 2027, and all pilgrims must depart by April 7, 2027.
Booking with a licensed PPIU provider
In Indonesia, Umrah travel operators must hold a valid PPIU (Penyelenggara Perjalanan Ibadah Umrah) license issued by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. A PPIU handles the end-to-end arrangement: visa application, flights, hotels, ground transport, and religious guidance (mutawwif).
Booking with an unlicensed operator puts your money and your pilgrimage at risk. Under Law No. 14 of 2025, organizing unauthorized umrah trips carries penalties of up to six years in prison and fines of up to IDR 2 billion.
How to verify a provider’s license
Before you pay any deposit, check that the travel agent is officially registered. There are two ways to do this:
- Visit the SIMPU Kemenag website and search for the travel operator by name. The system shows the accreditation status, decree number, director name, and contact details.
- Download the Pusaka Kemenag app (available on Play Store and App Store) and search for the operator there.
Look for operators with Accreditation A for the highest service standards. If a provider cannot be found on either platform, do not proceed with them.
What to verify before paying
Get the following confirmed in writing before paying any deposit:
- Hotel names and room details: the exact hotel names in Makkah and Madinah, your room type and occupancy (quad, triple, double, or single), and how many nights in each city.
- Transfers and intercity transport: what’s included for airport pickup and drop-off, plus how transport between Makkah and Madinah is handled (shared or private).
- Flights (if included): baggage allowance, flight timings, and the change/refund rules for your specific fare type.
- Cancellation and refunds: the cancellation policy, any fees, and the expected refund timeline.
- Itemized quote: a clear breakdown of what you’re paying for — not just a single total.
Also confirm that the provider’s on-ground services in Saudi Arabia are linked to a Nusuk-authorized service provider. Without confirmed Nusuk-linked bookings, Umrah permits will not be issued even if you hold a valid visa.
The independent Umrah option (Umrah Mandiri)
Indonesia’s Law No. 14 of 2025 formally legalized independent Umrah (umrah mandiri), giving Indonesian pilgrims a pathway that previously did not exist under the law. Independent pilgrims can arrange their own flights, hotels, and ground transport — but must still register through the Ministry’s information system and obtain their visa through a registered provider.
Independent umrah requires more planning: you handle your own Nusuk bookings, hotel reservations, and logistics. All health requirements — including the mandatory meningitis (MenACWY) vaccination — still apply. For most first-time pilgrims, a licensed PPIU package remains the simpler and safer option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Umrah packages from Indonesia usually include flights?
It varies by provider. Many PPIU packages include flights, but some sell land-only packages and let you book airfare separately. Always confirm whether international flights are part of the quoted price.
Can I do Umrah independently from Indonesia without a travel agent?
Yes, since October 2025. Law No. 14 of 2025 legalized independent Umrah. You must still register through the Ministry’s system, obtain your visa through a registered provider, and comply with all Saudi and Indonesian health requirements.
Is the meningitis vaccination mandatory for Indonesian Umrah pilgrims?
Yes. The meningitis meningococcal quadrivalent (ACWY) vaccine is mandatory for all Indonesian pilgrims, whether traveling through a PPIU or independently. You must receive it at least 10 days before departure. The International Certificate of Vaccination (ICV) — now also available digitally through the Satu Sehat app — is required for your visa application.
Can I travel for Umrah during the Hajj season?
No. Saudi Arabia suspends Umrah visas and Nusuk permits for a period around Hajj each year, then reopens for the next season. The 1448 AH season is open now and runs until April 7, 2027. Always confirm current dates on the official Nusuk Umrah platform.
Can I pay for an Umrah package in installments?
Several Indonesian financial institutions, including BFI Finance Syariah, offer Umrah financing with sharia-compliant installment plans. Some PPIU operators also accept installment payments directly. Confirm the total cost including any financing charges before committing.
