This page is for pilgrims travelling from Cardiff and the surrounding area. It covers how Cardiff pilgrims fly to Saudi Arabia, getting to the airport, how local school holidays affect your dates, what each package costs and which one suits you. The hotels, meals, visa and ziyarat are the same as on all our packages; only the flight routing changes from city to city.

Umrah from Cardiff with flights from Cardiff, Bristol or Heathrow, named hotels in Makkah and Madinah and one written price.
Cardiff Airport has no direct flights to Saudi Arabia, and its long-haul connections change from season to season. Many Cardiff pilgrims therefore fly direct from Heathrow, and some fly with one stop from Cardiff or Bristol.
From Heathrow, Saudia and British Airways fly direct to Jeddah, about six hours. We check what Cardiff and Bristol can offer on your dates and price the options side by side.
For routes, airlines and flight times in more detail, see our Umrah flights guide.
Heathrow is about two to two and a half hours from Cardiff on the M4. Bristol Airport is about an hour, and Cardiff Airport about half an hour from the city centre.
GWR trains run from Cardiff Central towards London; change at Reading for a bus link or carry on to London for the Elizabeth line to Heathrow. Coaches also run from Cardiff to Heathrow.
Each council sets its own term dates, so Cardiff families should check Cardiff Council's calendar first. Typical breaks and what they mean for Umrah:
| School break | Usual timing | For Umrah |
|---|---|---|
| October half-term | Late October | Popular; Makkah highs in the high 30s °C |
| Christmas holidays | Late December to early January | Busy and dearer; book early |
| February half-term | Mid-February | Falls in Ramadan in 2027 |
| Easter holidays | Late March or April | Check the Saudi season dates; Umrah closes before Hajj |
| Summer holidays | Late July to early September | Very hot; plan for night-time tawaf |
For month-by-month prices, see our October, December and Easter packages, or the October half-term collection.
Cardiff prices are our standard figures, per person, quad sharing, including the return flight.
Christmas, Ramadan and Easter departures have their own seasonal prices. Triple and double rooms cost more than the quad figures shown.
For Cardiff pilgrims we usually suggest the direct Heathrow flight and a 10-night 4★ package, which makes the longer journey to the airport worthwhile. A 14-night stay is popular with retired pilgrims.
Compare every hotel and length on our Umrah packages page, or read about 3★, 4★ and 5★ hotels.
Welsh school holidays are set by each council and can differ slightly from England's, so check Cardiff Council's dates before choosing family travel dates.
