Umrah in Makkah and Madinah plus 3 to 5 nights in Egypt, on one booking from the UK.

**Quick answer:** Our Umrah Plus Egypt (Cairo) packages combine your Umrah in Makkah and Madinah with 3 to 5 nights in Egypt, on one booking from the UK. We arrange the flights between each stop, hotels, transfers and tours, and tell you exactly which visas you need. Prices are on request because every trip is tailored.

## Why add Egypt to your Umrah?

Cairo is home to Al-Azhar, one of the oldest centres of Islamic learning, and a thousand years of Islamic architecture alongside the Pyramids. Cairo is about two hours from Jeddah.

## A typical itinerary

- **Fly from the UK** to Jeddah or Madinah.
- **Umrah and Madinah**: 7 to 14 nights in Makkah and Madinah, with hotels from 3 to 5 star.
- **Fly to Egypt** for 3 to 5 nights, with airport transfers and optional guided tours.
- **Fly home to the UK** from Egypt, so there is no need to go back through Saudi Arabia.

You can also visit Egypt first and finish with Umrah. Tell us your dates and we will plan the best order and flights.
