A once-in-a-lifetime journey. Let Safa Caravan guide you every step of the way — from your departure at Heathrow to your return as a Hajji, insha’Allah.
Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, obligatory for every Muslim who is physically and financially able to undertake the journey. It is the ultimate act of submission, drawing millions of believers together in the plains of Arafat to stand before Allah.
At Safa Caravan, we have been facilitating Hajj journeys for UK-based pilgrims for over 15 years. We understand the spiritual weight of this responsibility — and we take it seriously. From your very first enquiry, you will have a dedicated advisor who knows the rituals, the logistics, and the road ahead.
Every Safa Caravan Hajj package is ATOL Protected, giving you complete financial security and peace of mind. Our groups are small by design, so no pilgrim is ever lost in the crowd.
Both packages include full ritual guidance, flights from London, and accommodation in Makkah, Madinah, and Mina. Choose the comfort level that suits you.
Complete your Hajj with all essentials covered
Perform Hajj in comfort, with everything taken care of
Every Hajj follows the same sacred sequence of rituals. Here is how your journey with Safa Caravan unfolds.
Fly from London Heathrow and arrive in the City of the Prophet ﷺ. Settle into your hotel, offer prayers at Masjid Nabawi, and visit Rawdah, Quba Mosque, and the historic Baqi cemetery. Your scholar leads daily spiritual sessions.
Don your Ihram and travel to Makkah for Tawaf al-Qudum and Sa’i. Then proceed to Mina and spend the day and night in prayer, remembrance, and preparation for the greatest day.
Travel to the plain of Arafat and stand in prayer and supplication from noon until sunset — this is the core pillar of Hajj. After sunset, proceed to Muzdalifah to collect pebbles and offer Maghrib and Isha prayers combined.
Stone the large Jamarat pillar at Muzdalifah, then proceed to the sacrifice. Your sacrifice is arranged on your behalf. Shave or trim hair, exit Ihram, and return to Makkah for Tawaf al-Ifadah and Sa’i.
Remain in Mina and stone all three Jamarat pillars each day at the prescribed times. Your scholar and guide accompany the group throughout. Evening time is for reflection, dhikr, and rest in your tent.
Return to Makkah hotel for additional Tawaf, guided Ziyarat of Makkah’s historical sites, and personal worship time. Before departure, perform the farewell Tawaf al-Wida. Transfer to Jeddah airport for your return flight to London.
Hajj places are allocated by the Saudi Ministry and are strictly limited for UK pilgrims. Early registration is essential.
Based on the expected Islamic calendar — subject to moon sighting
Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH falls in early to mid-June 2026. Arafat (9 Dhul Hijjah) is expected on or around 13–15 June 2026. Exact dates confirmed by moon sighting closer to Dhul Hijjah.
Expected: June 2026
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj allocates a fixed quota to UK operators. To secure your place, we strongly recommend registering by January 2026 at the latest. Many packages are filled by October 2025.
Register by: January 2026
Women under the age of 45 are required by Saudi law to travel with a Mahram (a husband or male relative they cannot marry). Women aged 45 and over may travel in an organised group without a Mahram — please contact us to discuss eligibility.
Meningitis vaccination (ACWY) is mandatory for Hajj visa approval. We will advise you on all current Saudi health requirements as your departure date approaches. Travel insurance covering medical evacuation is strongly recommended.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended return date. It must contain at least 2 blank visa pages. If your passport is due to expire, renew it before booking.
Everything you need to know before you book your Hajj journey with Safa Caravan.
We strongly recommend booking as early as possible — ideally 8 to 12 months before the Hajj season. The UK has a fixed Hajj quota allocated by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj, and spaces are distributed to licensed operators on a first-come, first-served basis.
For Hajj 2026 (expected June 2026), we recommend registering no later than January 2026. Many of our packages were already oversubscribed for Hajj 2025 by November the year before. To avoid disappointment, contact us today.
Both packages include flights, visa, full ritual guidance, accommodation in Makkah, Madinah, and Mina, and 24/7 support. The core spiritual experience is identical — all Hajj pilgrims perform the same rites.
The Premium package upgrades the comfort level significantly: you stay in 5-star hotels closer to the Haram, your Mina tent is air-conditioned and private, meals are full board, transfers are private coach rather than shared, and your group size is capped at 15 pilgrims maximum. Premium also includes airport lounge access and a personal guide throughout.
Saudi regulations require women under 45 years old to travel with a Mahram (husband or male relative who cannot marry them). This is a condition of the Hajj visa.
Women aged 45 and over may travel in an organised group without a Mahram, provided they travel as part of a recognised tour operator group — which Safa Caravan qualifies as. We handle the relevant declaration as part of the visa process. Please contact us to confirm eligibility based on your specific circumstances.
Yes. All Safa Caravan Hajj packages are ATOL Protected under the Civil Aviation Authority’s Air Travel Organiser’s Licence scheme. This means that if your travel company goes out of business before or during your trip, you will either be able to complete your holiday or receive a full refund.
We also recommend that every pilgrim takes out comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and medical evacuation. We can advise on suitable policies for pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia.
Hajj spaces for UK pilgrims are finite and allocated quickly. Do not delay this sacred obligation. Our advisors are ready to guide you through the booking process — from first call to first step on the Haram.
