British pilgrims can perform Umrah outside the Hajj season on a tourist e-visa or an electronic visa waiver; Hajj needs its own separate visa, and Hajj places can only be booked through the official Nusuk Hajj platform. Everyone performing Hajj or Umrah needs a certificate of vaccination against the ACWY strains of meningitis at least 10 days before arriving. The Foreign Office warns that UK-based organised crime groups target people planning Hajj or Umrah trips: book with an ATOL-protected operator (gov.uk pilgrimage page, updated 8 October 2026).
An eSIM helps on the days that matter most - finding your group, your hotel and your transport in Makkah and Madinah - without a SIM counter queue at Jeddah. It is data only; if you need emergency help without a Saudi SIM, the Foreign Office says to call 112.
You need a visa or authorisation. The ETA - 50 riyals on Saudi Arabia's official visa platform, processed in one to three working days - lasts 730 days and allows multiple entries up to 180 days in total. The tourist e-visa lasts a year, allows up to 90 days in total, includes health insurance and can be bought online or on arrival. Your passport needs six months' validity, and a passport showing travel to Israel may be refused (gov.uk, updated 8 October 2026).
British Airways flies from Heathrow to Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudia flies to both from Heathrow and to Jeddah from Manchester, and Riyadh Air flies Manchester to Riyadh three times a week. Saudi Arabia is three hours ahead of the UK in winter and two in British Summer Time. Sockets are the UK's type G - no adaptor needed.
On a UK plan, EE charges £8 a day (£40 a week), O2 Travel £7, Vodafone £8 and Three £7 or £8.
A tourist e-visa or electronic visa waiver (outside Hajj season), a certificate of ACWY meningitis vaccination at least 10 days before arrival, and an ATOL-protected booking - the Foreign Office warns of scams targeting UK pilgrims (gov.uk, updated 8 October 2026).
