Walking-Distance Umrah Tours: 300-500 Metres from the Haram

In the table below, you will find all the dates for our walking-distance Umrah tours. Narrow the list by choosing a package, a departure city or a month, and reach our advisor straight away on WhatsApp with the Request button next to the date that suits you. For all the dates from your own departure city, you can visit our Umrah departure cities page.

The table below compares our walking-distance Umrah programmes by duration, key services and starting price per person. Prices are taken automatically from the product pages.

The accommodation standard is the same on all walking-distance programmes; the difference between them is the duration. If your leave is limited, you can choose the 4-day or 7-day programmes; if you want to spend more time in Makkah and Madinah, the 10-day or 15-day programmes. For accommodation even closer to the Haram, you can visit our luxury Umrah page.

When comparing packages, we recommend looking not only at the price but also at the hotel’s distance from the Haram, the meal arrangements, the group size and the type of flight. With the same budget, you can choose either a shorter programme closer to the Haram or a longer programme with a shuttle service; you can work out together with our advisor which one suits you best.

• Short Umrah Tour — 4 Days (Walking Distance) — 13 dates, 1 departure city, with prices starting from 84,500 ₺ per person.
• Walking-Distance Umrah Tour — 7 Days — 19 dates, 3 departure cities, with prices starting from 97,500 ₺ per person.
• Walking-Distance Umrah Tour — 10 Days — 123 dates, 15 departure cities, with prices starting from 102,000 ₺ per person.
• Walking-Distance Umrah Tour — 15 Days — 30 dates, 8 departure cities, with prices starting from 128,000 ₺ per person.

Walking-distance packages are a balanced option between economy and luxury programmes. Guests who want to save the time spent waiting for a shuttle and to go to and from the Haram with ease for the night prayers and the dawn prayer choose this package. Because it becomes easier to return to the hotel to rest and then go back to the Haram, the time spent in worship is effectively extended.

Being close to the Haram also provides significant comfort for families with children and for our guests of middle age and above. That said, the 300-500 metre walk is repeated several times a day; for guests whose walking ability is very limited, we recommend the luxury packages 200-300 metres away or the premium packages 50-100 metres away.

On walking-distance programmes, the daily schedule is shaped entirely around our guests’ plans for worship. After the dawn prayer, breakfast is taken at the hotel, and until the noon prayer guests rest or join guided visits. The noon, afternoon, evening and night prayers are performed at the Haram; returning to the hotel in between takes only a few minutes. For those who wish to perform tawaf late at night, getting there is no problem either.

In Madinah, too, the hotels are very close to the Prophet’s Mosque. You can easily walk to your appointment time for the Rawdah visit. Intercity journeys and visit programmes are made by comfortable coach, and by high-speed train on some dates.

The most important difference between the economy package and the walking-distance package is the location of the hotel in Makkah. On the economy package, the hotels are 2.5-4 km from the Haram, so a shuttle is used at prayer times; on the walking-distance package, no shuttle is needed. In addition, on the walking-distance package the hotels are 4-5 star, and a private welcome and farewell service and a gift of ihram garments are included. Considering the time and comfort that being close to the Haram provides, most of our guests find the price difference reasonable.

When Umrah prices are calculated, the most decisive factor is the hotel’s distance from the Kaaba. On our economy programmes departing from Türkiye, the Makkah hotels are 2.5-4 km from the Haram, and a shuttle runs at every prayer time. This distance falls to 300-500 metres on walking-distance programmes, 200-300 metres on luxury programmes and 50-100 metres on premium programmes. Elderly guests and families with children are far more comfortable in hotels close to the Haram.

Room sharing also has a direct effect on the price per person. A quadruple room is the most economical option; in triple and double rooms, the price per person rises step by step. Couples who want to travel on their own usually choose a double room, while large families prefer a quadruple room. Timing matters as well: the blessed month of Ramadan, the mid-term school holiday and the blessed holy nights (kandil) are the periods of highest demand.

The length of the programme and the flight plan are the final factors. Short programmes are budget-friendly for working people with limited annual leave, while longer programmes are ideal for those who want to devote more time to worship. Guests living in Türkiye fly direct on some dates and with a connection in Istanbul on others; connecting flights are included in the package price. You can find up-to-date prices for every date, set out transparently, in the table on this page.

Umrah is an act of worship that can be performed for most of the year, outside the Hajj period. In the 2026-2027 season, our first group from Türkiye sets off in September 2026, and dates continue until March 2027. Temperatures start to fall as autumn progresses; in the first weeks of the season, the crowds are relatively small and prices are favourable. The mid-term break in November (16-20 November 2026) is the first busy period and a popular choice for families with children.

Demand rises in December and January as the three sacred months (Rajab, Sha’ban and Ramadan) begin. In the 2026-2027 season, Laylat al-Raghaib falls on 10 December 2026, Laylat al-Mi’raj on 4 January 2027 and Laylat al-Bara’ah on 22 January 2027. For guests who wish to be at the Haram on these nights, we organise programmes that cover the dates of the holy nights. The mid-term school holiday runs from 25 January to 5 February 2027 and is the most convenient Umrah period for teachers and students.

The blessed month of Ramadan begins on 8 February 2027, and Eid al-Fitr falls on 9 March 2027. Ramadan Umrah is the most precious time of all, when the fast is kept and tarawih prayers are performed at the Haram, and Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power) is spent in worship; for this reason, places fill up early. The dates departing from Türkiye are spread across the following months: September 2026, October 2026, November 2026, December 2026, January 2027, February 2027 and March 2027. To pick the month that suits you, use the month filter in the table.

On our packages departing from Türkiye, accommodation is planned at different distances and standards depending on the package you choose. On economy packages, guests stay in 3-4 star hotels with a shuttle service 2.5-4 km from the Haram in Makkah, and in hotels within 200-300 metres’ walking distance of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. The Makkah hotels are 300-500 metres from the Haram on walking-distance packages, 200-300 metres on luxury packages and 50-100 metres on premium packages.

At our hotels, breakfast and dinner are served as an open buffet; on Ramadan programmes, suhoor and iftar are provided. Rooms are arranged as doubles, triples or quadruples; families can stay in the same room, while guests travelling alone share a room with passengers of the same gender. Hotel names are confirmed according to the group’s travel date and shared with you before departure. For large families from Türkiye, requests for rooms next to each other are noted at registration.

Preparation for Umrah should begin a few weeks before departure. The first step is your passport: it must be valid for at least 6 months from your return date. If you do not have a passport, or yours is about to expire, book an appointment at a civil registry office in Türkiye and start the process early. Umrah visa procedures are handled by us after registration; all we need is a clear scan of your passport and a biometric photo with a white background.

Document checklist

• A passport valid for at least 6 months
• A biometric photo with a white background
• A photocopy of your identity card
• For passengers under 18, a letter of parental consent and a civil registry record
• If applicable, a doctor’s report and prescriptions for any chronic illness

Packing list

• For men, at least two sets of ihram garments and an ihram belt
• For women, loose-fitting, light-coloured modest clothing
• Comfortable slippers and shoes for long walks
• Unscented soap, shampoo and deodorant
• A pocket prayer mat, a pocket-sized Qur’an and a booklet of supplications
• Sunglasses, an umbrella and a small backpack
• The medicines you take regularly and basic first-aid supplies
• A portable charger and a compatible plug adapter

Health preparation is just as important as your documents. Umrah involves walking for long periods during tawaf and sa’i; walking regularly in the weeks before the journey will build up your stamina. You can consult your family doctor about the seasonal flu vaccine and the current health requirements. At the preparation seminar we hold before the group departs, our guides explain the rites of Umrah, the restrictions of ihram and practical information in detail.

Umrah is completed in four stages: ihram, tawaf, sa’i and shaving or trimming the hair. The first stage is ihram: before reaching the miqat boundary, a full ritual bath (ghusl) is taken, men wrap themselves in the two unstitched pieces of ihram cloth, the intention for Umrah is made and the recitation of the talbiyah begins. Once in ihram, pilgrims avoid acts such as wearing perfume, cutting their nails and cutting their hair or beard.

The second stage is tawaf. Keeping the Holy Kaaba on your left, you walk seven circuits, starting from the corner of the Black Stone (al-Hajar al-Aswad). At the start of each circuit, the Black Stone is greeted. When tawaf is finished, two rak’ahs are prayed behind the Station of Ibrahim (Maqam Ibrahim), followed by a drink of Zamzam water. The third stage is sa’i: between the hills of Safa and Marwah, starting from Safa, seven circuits (shawt) are walked, four going and three returning.

In the final stage, men have their hair shaved or shortened, while women cut a fingertip’s length from the ends of their hair; with this, the restrictions of ihram come to an end. In our group, the first Umrah is performed alongside our guide, with the supplications recited together. Throughout the programme, guests who wish to can enter ihram again from Ji’ranah and Tan’im to perform additional Umrahs. Our guides use a radio headset system, so they can keep explaining even in the crowds.

To make the days you spend in the blessed lands peaceful, there are a few practical points to keep in mind. The Haram and the Prophet’s Mosque cover very large areas; so that you do not become separated from your group, be sure to note the meeting gate and time set by your guide. Always carry your hotel card and your guide’s phone number with you. Leaving early before prayer times helps you find a comfortable place in the crowds.

In Saudi Arabia, the weather can be hot, especially around midday; drink plenty of water and Zamzam, and use an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun. To avoid tiring your feet on long walks, take rest breaks at the hotel during the day. Keep your valuables in the hotel safe, and carry your bag in front of you in crowded areas. Check the price tags when shopping; leaving your shopping for dates, Zamzam water and souvenirs until the last days of the programme makes things easier on your luggage.

Taking care not to disturb others during worship, and not to disturb the peace of worshippers when taking photos, is part of the etiquette of Umrah. There are separate prayer areas for our female guests at the Haram; our guides show them these areas on the first day. If you have any health problem, simply let your guide know; you will be referred for the necessary care under your travel health insurance.

Every day spent in the holy lands is enriched by visits that combine worship with a knowledge of history. In Makkah, Jabal al-Nour and the Cave of Hira, Mount Thawr, Jabal al-Rahmah (the Mount of Mercy) at Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina are visited, with explanations from our guide. At Jannat al-Mu’alla, the grave of our mother Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) is visited, and the place of these sites in the life of the Prophet (sirah) is explained in detail.

In Madinah, our days are spent with the daily prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque and a visit to the Rawdah. At Quba Mosque, the hadiths on the virtue of praying two rak’ahs there are recalled; Masjid al-Qiblatayn, the Seven Mosques, Mount Uhud and the Uhud martyrs’ cemetery, where the grave of Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) lies, are also visited. At Jannat al-Baqi, supplications are made at the graves of the Prophet’s family (Ahl al-Bayt) and the Companions. Free time is also set aside for the date orchards and for shopping.
