It is a profound blessing that Allah has chosen you, as a Muslim living in Leicester, 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. Tarteel Travel is here to serve the Muslim community of Leicester, making that journey smooth, spiritually enriching, and filled with barakah.
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 al-Mukarramah, 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.
Leicester Muslims can depart for Umrah from Birmingham Airport (BHX), approximately 45 minutes from Leicester city centre by car or coach, offering good international connections. East Midlands Airport (EMA) is even closer, approximately 25 minutes away, with connections via major hubs. London Heathrow (LHR) is also accessible by train from Leicester station for the widest range of direct flights to Saudi Arabia. Tarteel Travel will coordinate from whichever airport works best for you.
Tarteel Travel has partnered with trusted airlines including Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to provide Leicester Muslims with reliable, affordable flights to Saudi Arabia.
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.
Alhamdulillaah, obtaining a Saudi Arabia visa has become significantly easier. UK residents require a Saudi tourist visa. Tarteel Travel handles the full application. Tarteel Travel provides a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa and handles all documentation on your behalf.
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 warmly welcomed and fully supported.
How to Make the Best of Your Umrah Trip
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.
Tarteel Travel is founded and led by Mohamed Abu Rayan, born and raised in Makkah al-Mukarramah. His guides bring a lifetime of Haramain experience and authentic knowledge that no independent trip can replicate. Unique Sunnah experiences such as camel farm visits are part of every journey.
