Travel with support

Women's Group Umrah

Women-friendly Umrah departures — led by our woman group leader, with most of the group made up of women, supported end to end.

Travelling with other women changes the journey. Our women-friendly departures bring together friends, sisters, mothers and daughters in groups where most pilgrims are women, led on the ground by Marhaba's woman group leader — so every traveller has someone to turn to at every step, and families at home stay connected throughout. These groups are not women-only: men may also be part of the group.

Who this is for

  • Women travelling with friends or family groups
  • Mothers and daughters
  • Women travelling on their own who want a woman in charge on the ground
  • Families who prefer a woman leading the group on the ground

What's included

  • The full Marhaba group package for the chosen departure (flights, Umrah visa, hotels, transfers, ziyarat)
  • A woman group leader throughout the journey
  • A group where most pilgrims are women
  • A pre-departure women's briefing (packing, Rawdah for women, what to expect)
  • Family milestone updates during the trip

Still deciding?

Our concierge replies on WhatsApp with options and an exact quote for your dates.

01Do you run women-only Umrah groups?
Not at the moment. Our women-friendly departures are led by a woman group leader and most pilgrims are women, but men may also be part of the group. If a women-only group matters to you, tell us when you enquire.
02Can women travel for Umrah without a mahram?
Saudi Arabia permits women to perform Umrah without a mahram; scholarly views on the matter vary, and we present both the official position and the range of views in our Journal guide so your family can decide with a scholar you trust.
03Who leads the group?
Marhaba's woman group leader travels with the group throughout.
04Can I join alone?
Yes; many travellers join on their own and travel as part of the group.
05What if my dates don't match a departure?
Ask us — customised travel for women can be designed on enquiry.
