Umrah packages from Newcastle start from £595 per person (3★, 7 nights, quad sharing, flight included). Newcastle Airport has no direct flights to Saudi Arabia, but it does have flights to Gulf hubs, so the usual route is one stop via the Gulf, landing in Jeddah or Madinah.. Every package includes the return flight, Umrah visa, both hotels, breakfast and dinner, transfers and guided ziyarat, and we confirm the route in writing before you pay.
This page is for pilgrims travelling from Newcastle and the surrounding area. It covers how Newcastle 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 Newcastle with flights from Newcastle or Manchester, named hotels in Makkah and Madinah and one written price.
Newcastle Airport has no direct flights to Saudi Arabia, but it does have flights to Gulf hubs, so the usual route is one stop via the Gulf, landing in Jeddah or Madinah.
The alternative is to travel to Manchester for a direct flight. Saudia flies direct from Manchester to Jeddah, normally daily. It means a long trip across the country first, so we price both routes and let you decide.
For routes, airlines and flight times in more detail, see our Umrah flights guide.
Newcastle Airport is about 20 minutes from the city centre. Manchester Airport is about two and a half to three hours away by road.
The Tyne and Wear Metro runs from the city centre to Newcastle Airport. For Manchester, trains from Newcastle take about two and a half hours, and some run through to the airport.
Each council sets its own term dates, so Newcastle families should check Newcastle City 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.
Newcastle 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.
From Newcastle we usually suggest 10 or 14 nights, so the connecting journey is a small part of the trip. The 4★ 14-night package keeps both hotels walkable for a full fortnight.
Compare every hotel and length on our Umrah packages page, or read about 3★, 4★ and 5★ hotels.
For North East pilgrims, starting from Newcastle Airport saves a long journey to Manchester. The trade-off is a connection, which most people find easy on a single through ticket.
