Denmark has a Muslim population of around 300,000, drawn from Turkish, Lebanese, Somali, Pakistani, and North African backgrounds, among others. Many of those families have been in Denmark for two or three generations. For a significant number of Danish Muslims, the decision to perform Umrah is not just a personal act of worship, it is something their parents or grandparents spoke about but never had the opportunity to do. Tarteel Travel serves Muslims from across Denmark, coordinating flights from Copenhagen and handling every logistical detail so the trip itself does not become an obstacle.
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)
Tarteel Travel runs fixed group departures throughout the year. Danish travelers join one of those groups, and Tarteel coordinates your flights from Copenhagen to meet the group itinerary. See what previous travelers say on our Instagram and in our reviews.
Umrah is the lesser Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah al-Mukarramah, which can be performed at any time of year. Its essential acts are: entering Ihram (declared at the Miqat), performing Tawaf (seven circuits around 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 turning point in their relationship with Allah, a chance to make tawbah and return to their Deen with renewed intention.
Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is Scandinavia's busiest international hub and Denmark's primary departure point for Umrah. CPH has direct Gulf connections via Qatar Airways, making the routing to Madinah straightforward: Copenhagen to Doha, then Doha to Madinah, with a total travel time of around 9 to 11 hours. CPH is accessible by S-tog from central Copenhagen in roughly 14 minutes, and by regional rail from Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, and across Jutland. The airport also serves Muslims from southern Sweden via the Oresund Bridge, making CPH the practical choice for the wider Danish-Swedish Muslim community.
Tarteel Travel has partnered with Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to provide Danish Muslims with reliable routing to Saudi Arabia at competitive prices. When you fill out the booking form, note your preferred departure airport and Tarteel will build your flights around the group itinerary.
Tarteel Travel selects hotels in Makkah and Madinah that are close to the Haramain, so you are not spending energy on long transfers when your focus should be on worship. Daily breakfast is included at both hotels. Your itinerary includes guided Ziyarah to Masjid Qubaa', Mount Uhud, and other significant sites in both cities, with context and explanation at each stop. Travel between Makkah and Madinah is on the Haramain high-speed train.
Danish residents can obtain a Saudi Arabia tourist visa, and Tarteel Travel handles the full application on your behalf. You receive a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa, which means you could return for a second Umrah or explore other parts of Saudi Arabia within the same visa period.
Every group is led through the Umrah rituals step by step by Tarteel's guides. If this is your first Umrah, you will not be left to figure things out alone.
How to Make the Best of Your Umrah Trip
Tarteel Travel's itineraries arrive in Madinah first. That means your Miqat is Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali), the Miqat designated for the people of Madinah and the furthest of all Miqat points from Makkah. Your Tarteel guide will tell you exactly when and how to enter Ihram before you leave the Madinah area for Makkah.
Tarteel Travel is founded and led by Mohamed Abu Rayan, who was born and raised in Makkah al-Mukarramah and has been working in the Hajj and Umrah field since 2000. His brothers and fellow guides were also born and raised in the Haramain. That background means your guide understands the rituals not as a checklist but as acts of worship with specific etiquette, timing, and meaning. He can show you where the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed, explain the significance of a site before you arrive at it, and support a first-time pilgrim who is finding the experience emotionally overwhelming, which is common and completely natural. Every trip includes a visit to a local camel farm where travelers drink fresh camel milk, a practice from the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) that many pilgrims remember long after they return home.
Is It Better to Go for Umrah With a Group or By Yourself?
