Quick answer: Our Umrah Plus Iraq packages combine your Umrah in Makkah and Madinah with 4 to 6 nights in Iraq, 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 Iraq to your Umrah?
Ziyarat of Karbala, Najaf and Kadhimiya is a lifelong wish for many pilgrims, and fits naturally after Umrah. Flights connect to Najaf or Baghdad.
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 Iraq for 4 to 6 nights, with airport transfers and optional guided tours.
- Fly home to the UK from Iraq, so there is no need to go back through Saudi Arabia.
You can also visit Iraq first and finish with Umrah. Tell us your dates and we will plan the best order and flights.

Visa for Iraq
British passport holders can usually get an Iraqi e-Visa or visa on arrival. Travel is subject to UK government travel advice for each region. Visa rules depend on your passport and can change, so we confirm what you need before you book. See GOV.UK travel advice for the latest entry requirements.
Travel advice: the UK government publishes advice for Iraq that can change at short notice. We check it before every booking and will not send you anywhere the advice says not to travel. Please check GOV.UK travel advice too, and make sure your travel insurance covers your whole trip.
Best time to go
October to April; Arbaeen dates are very busy. We can match your Iraq stay to school holidays or the quieter months for better prices.
How to book
Send us your dates using the form on this page, call or WhatsApp us. We will send you a tailored itinerary and price in writing, usually the same day. You can secure it with a deposit and pay the rest in instalments. See all our Umrah Plus destinations or our Umrah packages.
