Going for Umrah with your family? That's a big dream. A spiritual journey. A once-in-a-lifetime trip for many. But we know it can also feel a little scary, right? Flights, hotels, visas… It's a lot.
Whether you're planning your first Umrah together or just looking for the best way to do it in 2025 without stress, Alhamd Travel is here to help you through it.
Umrah is a special type of worship in Islam. It's not like a regular prayer. And it's not like Hajj, either. It's a short pilgrimage (a religious trip) to Makkah in Saudi Arabia. Muslims from all over the world visit there to express their love for Allah. You don't have to go in a specific month like the Hajj, as you can go almost anytime.
You go to the Kaaba, which is inside Masjid Al-Haram, and take some walks, some prayers, and some other steps. These are called rituals. They're not difficult, but they need to be done correctly.
Now imagine doing all that but with your whole family. That's where family Umrah packages come in.
A family Umrah package is a travel deal specifically designed for families who wish to perform Umrah together. Instead of buying everything one by one (tickets, hotel, transportation, meals), this package provides everything together in one plan.
It makes the trip easier, safer, more affordable (yup!), and less stressful for moms and dads.
Plus, it usually takes care of things like:
It's like a bundle. You just pack your bags and go.

Traveling with family can be messy sometimes. But with a bit of planning, you can make it super smooth.
Performing Umrah is a beautiful and emotional journey. Doing it with your loved ones? Even better. But planning it all alone can be tough. That's why choosing the right family Umrah package matters. Just remember, this journey isn't about how fancy the hotel is. Or how many stars your package has. It's about the niyyah (intention) in your heart. Travel safely. Travel humbly. And come back full of blessings.
Yes, absolutely. You don't have to go in a group. Many family Umrah packages offer private options just for your family. That means your hotel room, your transportation, and your plan.
Yes, kids can perform Umrah at any age. Even babies can go, there's no age limit. However, to perform the Umrah steps (such as walking around the Kaaba), a child should be old enough to walk and understand the basics. That's usually around 7 or 8.
Yes. Most of the time, umrah packages for families come with family bundle pricing (lower than paying separately). That's why a family Umrah package is often cheaper than booking everything one by one.
Depends on your hotel class. 3-star hotels typically serve basic meals, such as rice, chicken, bread, and fruit. With four or 5-star hotels, you'll get buffet-style meals, international, Asian, Arab, and sometimes even Western food for kids.
Yes, and that's what many families plan for. Family Umrah packages 2025 are already being booked for spring break, summer vacations, and winter holidays (like December). Packages during these times sell out quickly. Therefore, it's best to book 2 to 4 months in advance if you want to travel during school breaks.
The best time for families to perform Umrah is during off-peak months like January to March or September to November, when the weather is cooler, and crowds are smaller. These months offer a more comfortable experience for children and elderly travelers.
