Out-of-Pocket Estimates

Hidden & Additional Out-of-Pocket Expenses

When planning your budget, remember to include expenses that are generally never covered inside standard package pricing:

🍽️ Food & Dining Expenses

Meals are typically not included in package hotel bookings (except buffet breakfasts in 4-star and 5-star properties):

  • Budget Dining (South Asian Restaurants): A single meal (roti, salan, biryani) near economy hotels costs about SAR 10 to SAR 20 per person.
  • Clock Tower / Fast Food Courts: A meal at Clock Tower food courts or Al-Baik costs about SAR 20 to SAR 35 per person.
  • Daily Food Budget: Plan for SAR 40 to SAR 75 (approx. PKR 3,500 to PKR 6,500) per person per day.

🚄 Haramain High-Speed Train Tickets

Standard packages include intercity transport via group AC buses. If you prefer to travel from Makkah to Madinah via the luxury high-speed train (taking only 2.5 hours instead of 5 hours):

  • Economy Class Ticket: Approx. SAR 150 to SAR 200 per person one-way.
  • Business Class Ticket: Approx. SAR 250 to SAR 330 per person one-way.

📶 Saudi SIM Cards & Zamzam Bottles

  • SIM Cards with Data: Mobily, Zain, or STC packages with 10-20GB data cost about SAR 80 to SAR 120 (approx. PKR 7,000 to PKR 10,500).
  • Official Zamzam (5 Liters): Purchased at Jeddah or Madinah airport checkout for SAR 8.50 per bottle.
  • Barber Payments: Head shaving (Halq) outside the Marwa exit gate costs SAR 15 to SAR 30 (approx. PKR 1,300 to PKR 2,600).
Price Drivers

What Influences the Final Invoice Price?

Understanding how travel choices influence your quote helps optimize your total layout:

🏢 Hotel Distance to Haram

Hotels located within 50-100m of the courtyard charge premium rates. Moving to hotels located 600-800m away (with shuttle bus services) reduces room rates by up to 60%.

✈️ Airline Carrier Selection

Direct flights on Saudia or PIA carry convenience premiums. Opting for connecting flights on transit carriers (Air Arabia, Gulf Air, Salam Air) saves PKR 20,000 to PKR 40,000 per ticket.

👥 Room Occupancy Layout

Sharing a room with 3 or 4 other pilgrims (Triple/Quad occupancy) is much cheaper than private Double room sharing, making it highly popular for budget groups.

Season vs Price

How Season Affects Your Umrah Cost

Cheapest: Oct–Feb (Off-Season)

Lowest hotel and flight prices. Comfortable weather (20–28°C). Fewer crowds. Best option for budget-conscious pilgrims without school holiday constraints. Economy packages most affordable in this window.

Moderate: Jul–Aug (Summer)

Hot (42–48°C) but manageable with precautions. Aligns with Pakistan school holidays — ideal for families. Hotel prices are standard. Good availability. Recommended for families with school-going children.

Most Expensive: Ramadan

2–3× more expensive than off-season. Hotel prices spike 200–400%. Airlines charge peak fares. Spiritually unmatched — Umrah in Ramadan equals Hajj in reward (Hadith). Only practical if booked 4–6 months ahead.

PKR to Saudi Riyal (SAR) Exchange Rate Advice

Currency volatility in Pakistan affects your overall Umrah pricing. To get the best value, follow these financial guidelines:

  • Buy Cash Riyals in Lahore: Exchange rates at Jeddah and Madinah airports are very unfavorable for PKR. Always buy Saudi Riyals from licensed exchange companies (like Western Union or Al-Muzaini counterparts in Lahore) before departure.
  • International Debit Cards Markup: When using Meezan, HBL, or Alfalah Visa cards, a 3.5% to 5.5% withholding tax and bank transaction markup is charged. Keep this in mind when paying for high-value items like electronics or gold.
  • Avoid Small Exchange Counters: Taxis and roadside sellers in Makkah only accept cash. Never carry large bundles of PKR to exchange locally in Saudi Arabia; exchange rates offered there are significantly poorer.

Group Bookings & Family Discount Matrix

Traveling in groups or large family structures can significantly reduce the per-person package cost. Here is our discount configuration:

Group Size Room Occupancy Config Estimated Per-Person Discount Included Group Benefits
👨‍👩‍👧 Family of 4-6 Quad Room sharing 5% - 8% Discount Complimentary child sharing beds & joint Ziyarat transportation.

Common Questions

Umrah Cost FAQs

What is the cheapest Umrah package price from Pakistan in 2026?

The cheapest complete Umrah packages from Pakistan in 2026 start from approximately PKR 350,000–400,000 per person (economy) for off-season (October–February) with budget 3-star accommodation, shared transfers, and group economy flights. Individual components can be cheaper but may lack the support of a licensed Moallim and proper visa processing.

What is the Saudi Umrah visa fee for Pakistanis in 2026?

The Saudi Umrah visa fee for Pakistani passport holders typically includes a Saudi government fee (SAR 300–500) plus an agency service charge. The total in PKR is approximately PKR 25,000–45,000 per person. This is usually included in package pricing. Contact us for the exact current fee as it varies seasonally.

How much spending money should I take for Umrah?

We recommend a minimum of SAR 2,000–3,000 (PKR 175,000–260,000) per person for 10 days. Major expenses: meals outside hotel, Zamzam water bottles to take home, Ajwa and Medjool dates, prayer beads, gifts for family, and tips for hotel staff. Exchange PKR to SAR before departure — rates in Pakistan are generally better than in Saudi Arabia.

Are taxes and service charges included in package quotes?

Yes, all official Saudi VAT (15%), municipality taxes, and tourist fees are included in the package invoices provided by Quba Travels. We ensure complete transparency with zero hidden costs at airport check-in.

Can I use my Pakistani debit card in Makkah and Madinah?

Yes. Most major Pakistani banks (HBL, Meezan, Alfalah) support international payments on Visa and Mastercard debit/credit cards. Inform your bank before travel to activate international sessions. A markup fee of 3.5% to 5.5% is charged on international point-of-sale transactions.

Are children and infants charged the full package rate?

Infants under 2 years travel free of charge for hotel bookings but require a lap flight ticket (discounted). Children aged 2–11 receive partial ticket discounts and are exempt from hotel sharing costs if they share existing beds with parents.

What is the cost difference between direct flights and connecting flights?

Direct flights (Saudia or PIA) from Lahore to Jeddah/Madinah cost about PKR 25,000 to PKR 40,000 more than connecting transit flights (Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, or Air Arabia). Connecting flights require longer transit times at airport hubs.

Are meals included in the base package cost?

Standard and premium packages typically include daily buffet breakfasts at the hotels. Lunches and dinners are usually excluded and must be purchased locally at nearby restaurants or food courts.

Is there any extra cost for Rawdah visiting permit booking?

No. The Rawdah permit is completely free of charge. However, bookings must be secured individually via the official Saudi Nusuk mobile application. We assist our travelers in setting this up free of charge.

What is the refund policy if our package is canceled?

Cancellations made 15+ days before departure receive a partial refund minus visa issuance fees and airline cancellation penalties. Cancellations inside 14 days of departure are non-refundable due to non-refundable hotel block contracts in Saudi Arabia.
