Umrah Packages from Pakistan 2026: What to Know Before You Book

Last updated: Sep 4, 2026

Umrah season update (September 2026): The 1448 AH season is open and Umrah visas are being issued. The season closes on 7 April 2027, by which date all pilgrims must have departed.

Umrah packages from Pakistan bundle together the visa, flights, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, and ground transport, so you can focus on the pilgrimage rather than the logistics. Here is what to check before you pay.

What Umrah packages include

Most packages cover Umrah Visa processing, hotels in Makkah and Madinah (star rating per package tier), airport transfers and intercity transport, and group guidance or ziyarah stops where available.

What is typically not included: domestic flights within Pakistan (unless specified), meals beyond the stated plan, private ziyarah tours and personal tips, extra baggage, and travel insurance.

How much do Umrah packages from Pakistan cost in 2026?

Prices currently range from roughly PKR 220,000 (economy, quad sharing, off-peak) to PKR 500,000+ (premium hotels near the Haramain, double or twin occupancy, peak travel dates). Round-trip flights alone account for PKR 90,000–130,000 of that total.

The three biggest cost drivers are:

Accommodation and occupancy: 4–5 star hotels close to Masjid al-Haram are the biggest line item. Quad occupancy is the most affordable per person; single occupancy the most expensive.
Season: Ramadan and Eid travel dates push flight and hotel rates up sharply regardless of hotel tier.
Service level: Private transport, direct flights with baggage, and full-board meal plans add cost. Shared transport and room-only plans save the most.

A typical trip is 7–14 days split between Makkah and Madinah. Always confirm flight timings and availability before paying, as these can shift after a package is quoted.

Package tiers and rooming

Economy: Budget hotels; usually quad rooms to keep costs low.
Standard: Mid-range hotels; triple or twin rooms.
5-star / Deluxe: Premium hotels near the Haramain; twin or single rooms.

Room-type pricing always follows this order, cheapest to most expensive: Quad → Triple → Twin → Single. Always ask for the per-person price in your exact room type, not the headline package rate.

Two ways to book Umrah from Pakistan in 2026

Book through Nusuk

Nusuk Umrah is the official platform under the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. It covers visa issuance, hotel and transport booking, and permit generation, all in one place, without needing an external agent.

A Nusuk Umrah permit (the timed slot to enter Masjid al-Haram) is mandatory for all pilgrims regardless of visa type, and is separate from the Umrah visa itself. Pakistani travelers need both.

Best for travelers who want direct control over dates, hotels, and services.
You will still need confirmed hotels and transport within the platform flow before visa issuance. Requirements can change, so verify at booking time.

Book through a verified Pakistani Umrah tour operator

If you prefer an agent-managed itinerary (flights, hotels, and transport all handled for you), use a company on the attested list published by Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs & Interfaith Harmony. The September 2025 list covers 113 operators for the 1447 AH season. MORA publishes an updated list for each season, so always verify against the latest version on mora.gov.pk before paying.

How to book safely

Shortlist 2–3 approved agents in your city.
Request written quotes showing hotel names, room type, nights, meal plan, transport class, and total per person.
Confirm visa handling time, payment schedule, and cancellation/refund policy in writing.
Re-verify the agent’s approval on the official MORA list on the same day you pay.
Pay via a traceable method and keep all receipts.

Under the 1448 AH season rules, Umrah visas are valid for 30 days from issuance, and you must enter Saudi Arabia within that window or the visa is automatically cancelled. Once inside the Kingdom, your permitted stay is up to 90 days.

The Nusuk permit is a separate timed-slot booking, valid only for the date and time you select at Masjid al-Haram. Your visa, flights, hotel, and Nusuk slot all need to align, so confirm the latest regulations before applying.

Documents and eligibility

Passport valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Saudi Arabia
Recent photographs per Umrah specifications
CNIC copy
Biometric enrollment (if required)
Meningococcal meningitis (ACYW) vaccine, mandatory for all Umrah pilgrims and administered at least 10 days before arrival
Polio vaccine (IPV or OPV), mandatory for travelers from Pakistan and administered at least 4 weeks before arrival and within the past 12 months before travel
COVID-19 vaccination is no longer mandatory for entry into Saudi Arabia, though it remains recommended, especially for older pilgrims and those with underlying conditions

For the full vaccination list, check the Saudi Ministry of Health’s official Umrah health regulations and the CDC Saudi Arabia travel page for your travel date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I perform Umrah without an approved agent?

Yes. You can book directly via Nusuk. If you prefer agent support, use a verified operator from the MORA list.

When should I apply for the Umrah visa?

Apply once your travel dates are confirmed. The Umrah visa is valid for 30 days from issuance, and you must enter Saudi Arabia within that window or the visa is automatically cancelled.

Do all visa types allow Umrah in 2026?

Yes, in principle. If you are already in Saudi Arabia on another valid visa (tourist, work, family visit, business), you can perform Umrah by booking a Nusuk permit without a separate Umrah visa. Confirm any Pakistan-specific or visa-type restrictions before you travel.

Is Nusuk mandatory?

Yes, for the permit. A Nusuk Umrah permit (timed-slot booking to enter Masjid al-Haram) is mandatory for all pilgrims regardless of visa type. International Umrah packages are also booked through Nusuk-licensed service providers.

Is polio vaccination required for travelers from Pakistan?

Yes. Saudi Arabia requires travelers from Pakistan to have a polio vaccination (IPV or OPV) administered at least 4 weeks before arrival and within the past 12 months. Check the latest guidance from the Saudi Ministry of Health and Pakistan’s Ministry of National Health Services for your specific travel date.

How long does Umrah visa processing take?

Typically a few business days, though timelines vary by season and booking method. Get an estimated processing time in writing from your provider before paying.

The last Umrah visa is issued on 9 March 2027 and the last entry date is 23 March 2027. All pilgrims must depart by 7 April 2027. See the official Nusuk platform for the full season calendar.
