In short
Saudi Arabia allows women to come for Umrah without a mahram, and we accept women travelling alone or in groups. In ihram, women wear ordinary modest clothing. Women book their own Rawdah time in the Nusuk app and follow the same visa, vaccination and permit steps as every pilgrim. You can speak to a woman on our team.
Can women go for Umrah without a mahram?
- Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah says a woman is allowed to come for Umrah without a mahram.
- We accept women travelling without a mahram, alone or in a group.
- Islamic scholars hold different views on women travelling without a mahram, and many families prefer to travel together. If you are unsure, ask a scholar you trust.

Rooms for women travelling alone
A woman travelling alone can share a room with other women only, for example a quad room shared by four women. Room sharing changes the price per person; see the Umrah cost guide.
What women wear in ihram

Questions such as face covering and gloves during ihram are religious rulings, so ask a scholar you trust.
If your period may fall during your trip
This affects some parts of Umrah and is a religious question. Ask a scholar you trust, ideally before you choose your travel dates.

Health
Every pilgrim from Pakistan needs the meningitis and polio vaccines (see the Umrah visa page). Pregnant women should check the Saudi Ministry of Health’s current rules and speak to their doctor before travelling.
