It is a profound blessing that Allah has chosen you to answer the call of Umrah and stand before His sacred House. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that the people who come for Umrah and Hajj are the guests of Allah. He invited them, and they responded. If December is the month you have chosen for Umrah, Tarteel Travel is here to make that journey smooth, spiritually enriching, and filled with barakah from beginning to end.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "(The performance of) Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1773)
By Allah's grace, Tarteel Travel has become one of the most trusted Umrah providers for Muslims across the world. See what our travelers say on our Instagram and in our reviews.
Umrah is the lesser Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, performable at any time of year. Its essential acts are entering Ihram at the Miqat, performing Tawaf (seven circuits of the Ka'bah), walking Sa'i (seven times between Safa and Marwa), and completing with shaving or trimming the hair. Many Muslims describe Umrah as a life-changing experience and a fresh start in their relationship with Allah.
Tarteel Travel serves Muslims departing from cities across the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. All packages include round-trip flights coordinated from your nearest international airport, in partnership with Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines. Travel logistics from departure to return are fully handled by Tarteel Travel.
Tarteel Travel arranges premium 5-star accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah close to the Haramain, with daily breakfast included. Guided Ziyarah to Mount Uhud, Masjid Qubaa', and other sacred sites is included, as is the Haramain high-speed train between the holy cities.
Our Makkah-born guides lead every group through the Umrah rituals step by step, in full accordance with the authentic Sunnah. First-time pilgrims are fully supported throughout.
How to Make the Best of Your Umrah Trip
Tarteel Travel handles the complete Saudi tourist visa process for every traveler, providing a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa. This allows flexibility to return for additional Umrahs within the same year.
Tarteel Travel's itineraries fly into Madinah first, meaning your Miqat is Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali), the Miqat of the people of Madinah and the furthest of all Miqat points from Makkah. Your guide will instruct you on exactly when and how to enter Ihram.
December is one of the most beloved months for Umrah among North American and European Muslims. Makkah's winter temperatures are mild and comfortable, typically 18-25 degrees Celsius, making every act of worship, from Tawaf to outdoor Ziyarah, genuinely pleasant. For families in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, the winter break (Christmas and New Year holidays) provides extended time off school and work, making December a uniquely convenient time for Umrah. Combined with the beautiful winter atmosphere of the Haramain, December Umrah packages are among Tarteel Travel's most popular offerings.
