An Umrah trip from Dubai is short enough to fit into a long weekend, but the preparation needs to start earlier than most travellers expect. The visa itself is fast — often two to three days — but vaccinations, hotel proximity to the Haram, and ground transport all need decisions before the application.
Before You Book
- Meningitis vaccination — required, dated at least ten days before arrival
- Passport valid for six months from date of entry
- Choose hotels by walking distance to the Haram, not star rating
We arrange the visa, flights, accommodation and ground transport as a single booking, so nothing falls between the cracks.
