3 STAR December UMRAH PACKAGE 2026 - 21 NIGHTS FROM USA ($1041/PP)

This is a general guide to how the trip typically unfolds. The exact daily schedule can vary based on prayer timings, group pace, weather, and other on-the-ground factors — Ziyarat days and free days may be reordered as needed.

Day 1 — Departure from the USA
Depart from your chosen US city — Houston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Dallas. Most routes run 14–18 hours with one connection. Your agent confirms your full itinerary and travel details before departure.

Day 2 — Arrival in Makkah
Land at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and transfer to Al Kiswah Tower, 1.5km from Masjid Al Haram. Check in, rest after the long flight, and prepare for Umrah rites when ready — the hotel shuttle is available for the first prayer sessions before the walking routine is established.

Day 3 — Umrah Rites & First Tawaf
Perform Tawaf around the Kaaba and Sa’i between Safa and Marwah to complete the core Umrah rites. December’s 22–28°C temperatures make both the walk to the Haram and the Tawaf itself considerably more comfortable than a summer visit.

Day 4 — Settling Into Makkah
A free day to attend all five daily prayers at the Haram and begin building the worship routine that 12 Makkah nights allows. The hotel shuttle handles the 1.5km journey on any prayer session where walking isn’t preferred.

Day 5 — Makkah Ziyarat — Part 1
Guided half-day visit to Jabal al-Nour and the Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, and Jannat al-Mu’alla. With 12 nights in Makkah, this is the first of two Ziyarat opportunities. Private transport arranged from the hotel.

Day 6 — Free Worship Day
An unstructured day for additional Tawaf, Qur’an reading, and personal du’a — one of the built-in free days that define what 21 nights offers over a shorter trip.

Day 7 — Free Worship Day
A second flexible Makkah day. Rest days between more active days are a deliberate part of the 21-night schedule rather than a compromise on worship time.

Day 8 — First Jumu’ah at Masjid Al Haram
Friday prayer at the Haram — arriving early via the hotel shuttle or on foot secures a good position inside the mosque for the khutbah and prayer. December’s cool morning temperatures make the early arrival comfortable.

Day 9 — Free Worship Day
Extended personal worship at the Haram — additional Tawaf, quiet reflection, or time near Zamzam Well between prayer sessions.

Day 10 — Makkah Ziyarat — Part 2
A second visit to Makkah’s historical sites — a return to Jabal al-Nour carries different weight after a week at the Kaaba, or time can be spent at sites not covered in the first tour. Private transport from the hotel.

Day 11 — Free Worship Day
A rest and reflection day — the unplanned days of a 21-night trip are often described by pilgrims as the most spiritually meaningful of the entire journey.

Day 12 — Free Worship Day
Extended time at the Haram with full flexibility — Tawaf, du’a, Qur’an recitation, or simply attending prayers and returning to the hotel between sessions.

Day 13 — Second Jumu’ah at Masjid Al Haram
A second Friday prayer at Masjid Al Haram — two consecutive Jumu’ah prayers at the world’s holiest mosque is an experience unique to packages with 12 or more Makkah nights.

Day 14 — Final Day in Makkah
A last full day of worship at the Haram — additional Tawaf, extended du’a, and a farewell Tawaf in the evening before preparing for the transfer to Madinah.

Day 15 — Transfer to Madinah
Check out of Al Kiswah Tower and transfer by road to Madinah. Check into Diyafat Al Mokhtara, 350 metres from Masjid an-Nabawi — close enough to walk to evening prayer on arrival.

Day 16 — First Full Day in Madinah
A full day at Masjid an-Nabawi — attending all five prayers, visiting Rawdah, and settling into Madinah at the unhurried pace that 9 nights allows. At 350 metres from the mosque, every prayer session is a short walk from the hotel.

Day 17 — Madinah Ziyarat — Part 1
Guided tour of Quba Mosque, Qiblatain Mosque, and Mount Uhud, with dedicated time for Rawdah and prayer at Masjid an-Nabawi. Private transport arranged from Diyafat Al Mokhtara.

Day 18 — Free Worship Day in Madinah
An unstructured day for extended prayer and personal reflection at Masjid an-Nabawi — one of the hallmarks of what 9 Madinah nights provides over a shorter stay.

Day 19 — First Jumu’ah at Masjid an-Nabawi
Friday prayer at the Prophet’s Mosque — a 350-metre walk from the hotel. Arriving early secures a good position inside for the khutbah and prayer.

Day 20 — Madinah Ziyarat — Part 2
A second visit to Madinah’s historical sites — more time at Quba Mosque for voluntary prayers, a revisit to Mount Uhud, or exploration of sites not covered in Day 17. Private transport from the hotel.

Day 21 — Free Worship Day in Madinah
A second extended free day at Masjid an-Nabawi — additional Rawdah sessions, personal du’a, and reflection ahead of the final Jumu’ah prayer.

Day 22 — Second Jumu’ah at Masjid an-Nabawi & Final Prayers
A second Friday prayer at Masjid an-Nabawi — two Jumu’ah prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque from a hotel 350 metres away is one of the defining experiences of a 21-night December Umrah. Final prayers and transfer to Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport for the return flight to the US.
