4 STAR December UMRAH PACKAGE 2026 - 21 NIGHTS FROM USA ($1236/PP)

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 Makarem Al Bait Al Azizia Hotel, 3.5–5km from Masjid Al Haram. Check in, rest after the long flight, and use the hotel’s free shuttle for your first prayer session at the Haram.

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 shuttle ride 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 via the shuttle and begin building a worship routine. With 12 nights ahead, there is no pressure to fill every day from the start.

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. December’s cooler temperatures make the Jabal al-Nour climb manageable for most pilgrims. 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. With three weeks total and December’s cool weather, rest days between more active days are a natural part of the schedule rather than a compromise.

Day 8 — First Jumu’ah at Masjid Al Haram
Friday prayer at the Haram — the hotel shuttle ensures early arrival for a strong position inside the mosque for the khutbah and prayer. December’s cool morning temperatures make the early departure comfortable.

Day 9 — Free Worship Day
Extended personal worship at the Haram — additional Tawaf, quiet reflection, or time near Zamzam Well between prayer sessions. The hotel’s minibar and room service support a comfortable rest between 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 full 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 consistently described by pilgrims as among 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 attending prayers and returning to the hotel’s well-appointed facilities between sessions.

Day 13 — Second Jumu’ah at Masjid Al Haram
A second Friday prayer at Masjid Al Haram — two Jumu’ah prayers at the world’s holiest mosque is an experience unique to packages with 12 or more Makkah nights and one of the spiritual highlights of a 21-night trip.

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 Madinah transfer.

Day 15 — Transfer to Madinah
Check out of Makarem Al Bait Al Azizia Hotel and transfer by road to Madinah. Check into Zowar International Hotel, less than 180 metres from Masjid an-Nabawi. Evening prayer is a 2-minute walk from the hotel lobby.

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 under 180 metres from the mosque, every prayer session is effortless from Zowar International 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 Zowar International Hotel.

Day 18 — Free Worship Day in Madinah
An unstructured day for extended prayer and personal reflection at Masjid an-Nabawi — the kind of unhurried day that defines 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 2-minute walk from the hotel. Arriving early secures a good position inside for the khutbah. The hotel restaurant’s buffet breakfast is available before departure.

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 additional sites. Private transport from Zowar International 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 the Prophet’s Mosque — two Jumu’ah prayers at Masjid an-Nabawi from a hotel less than 180 metres away, across 9 Madinah nights. Final prayers and transfer to Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport for the return flight to the US.
