Umrah Packages from Miami
Flight-inclusive Umrah for pilgrims from the South Florida area, departing via MIA & FLL.
Umrah from Miami made simple
A Metrorail ride and a change to the MIA Mover can be the very first steps toward Makkah. Getting to the airport by train is one advantage of setting out from here. Choice is another: there's Miami International, there's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, and Brightline trains even run up to Orlando's airport. None of the three is among the gateways our airfare is based on, so it pays to compare the routings from each before settling on one. An added airfare is possible from here, and it's confirmed with you ahead of booking. Weather is the wild card, and the calendar deserves as much thought as the airport.
Departures
MIA & FLL
Routing
Fly from MIA or FLL with an onward connection, or take a domestic flight to ATL first, and plan on roughly 16 to 23 hours before Jeddah.
Community
Masjid Al-Ansar, at the corner of Northwest 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue, has served Miami for more than five decades. A history published on its website says Muhammad Ali worshipped there while he lived in the city, and that the building was designated a historical landmark in 2004. The site describes it as one of the oldest mosques in South Florida. Its community supports the initiatives of the late Imam W. Deen Mohammed and offers Qur'an reading sessions, Islamic studies classes and a food pantry.
Getting to Makkah from Miami
If you live along Metrorail, you can reach the airport without a car. On weekdays until 8 p.m., the county's printed guide shows Orange Line trains running through to the Miami International Airport station, where it lists the MIA Mover as a connection. Riders coming from north of Earlington Heights change there any day of the week, and evenings and weekends follow a different pattern, explained below.
The flights themselves go one of two ways from here. They either connect out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale via a Turkish, Gulf or European hub, or begin with a domestic hop to one of the priced gateways, such as Atlanta, where the long leg departs. Look at connection times as closely as you look at airports. Between the first takeoff and Jeddah, allow something like 16 to 23 hours.
The calendar needs attention too. Summer and most of autumn sit inside the Atlantic hurricane season, and a storm near the coast can upset flight plans. If your dates are flexible, that's worth weighing before you commit, and if they aren't, keep a closer eye on forecasts in the week before you fly.
Metrorail after 8 p.m. and on weekends
On Saturdays and Sundays, Miami-Dade says Orange Line trains run only as an Airport Shuttle between Earlington Heights and the Miami International Airport station, every 15 minutes, and everyone heading to the airport transfers at Earlington Heights. The county's printed guide shows the same shuttle on weeknights from 8 p.m. to midnight. Build that change into your timing, and think about how you'll move your bags from one train to the next. The county calls the Orange Line the most affordable way to reach the airport station.
Fort Lauderdale is the other option
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, run by Broward County at 100 Terminal Drive in Fort Lauderdale, may be the nearer airport for families living in Broward. Don't assume the nearer airport has the better itinerary, though. Put the complete journeys from both side by side for your dates, looking at total travel time and how long each layover is. A short drive that ends in a tight connection can be a worse day than a longer one with a sensible wait in the middle.
Brightline to Orlando's airport
Brightline runs between Miami and Orlando, with stations in Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. At the northern end, its station sits at Orlando International Airport, next to Terminal C. In Miami, Metrorail connects with Brightline at Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre. That's worth knowing if an itinerary out of MCO suits your dates better. It makes for a longer day, with luggage on a train before you even check in, so weigh it honestly against a domestic connection.

Umrah from Miami: questions
If your dates are flexible, it's worth considering. The National Hurricane Center dates the Atlantic season from June 1 to November 30. It puts the peak around September 10, with most activity between mid-August and mid-October. A storm near South Florida can disrupt flights, and your plans with them. December through May falls outside the official season. If you do travel in late summer or fall, watch the forecasts in the days before departure and keep your phone on.
Seven hours while Miami is on daylight saving time, which in 2026 runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, and eight hours otherwise. Makkah doesn't change its clocks at all. In practice, if you reach your hotel at 8 p.m. Makkah time in summer, it's only 1 p.m. in Miami, so you may be wide awake when you ought to be winding down. Resting on the long leg, at Makkah's night hours, makes the first days easier.
Our 7-night flight-inclusive packages run from $1,590 to $1,890 per person on quad occupancy, with airfare, the e-visa, medical insurance, both hotels and the Haramain train inside that figure. Advertised prices are based on departures from JFK, IAD, ORD, ATL and LAX. Flying out of your city may add to the airfare, and we'll confirm exactly how much before you book anything.
