Manchester via Amman (Royal Jordanian)
A complete, scholar-led Umrah — flights, visa, hotels and every transfer handled, so you can give your whole attention to worship. Departing Manchester on 21 October with Royal Jordanian, the group spends six nights in Makkah at Safwa Towers, moments from the Clock Tower and the Haram, before moving to Madinah for five nights at Maden Taiba, close to al-Masjid an-Nabawī.
The journey is led by Shaykh Siddiq Rahman al-Madani, who guided our February 2026 group — combining deep knowledge with a grounded, accessible approach for all ages. Expect guided ziyārāt in both cities, regular halaqāt and reminders, and support at every step from a team that has organised pilgrimages for over a decade.
As-Suffa Tours is the travel division of As-Suffa Trust (Registered Charity No. 1140024). Prices are shown upfront with no hidden costs, and every surplus is reinvested into the Trust’s charitable work.
