Umrah Flights from Toronto Pearson
If you are building your own trip, or already have a land package, we can book just the flight. Our primary Umrah routing, the same one used on our Umrah packages from Toronto, is EgyptAir from Toronto Pearson Terminal 1 via Cairo, landing at Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) in Madinah or King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah. We also book Emirates via Dubai (DXB), Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST), Qatar Airways via Doha (DOH), Saudia, and Air Canada where routings align.

Fares change daily, so we quote them in CAD on request with baggage, Zamzam allowance and connection times shown.
Madinah First or Jeddah First?
Landing in Madinah means you arrive, rest, pray in Masjid an-Nabawi and then enter Ihram at the Miqat at Dhul Hulayfah on the road to Makkah. Families with children and elderly parents usually prefer this.
Landing in Jeddah gets you to Makkah faster, but your flight passes the Miqat before landing, so pilgrims going straight to Makkah must be in Ihram before or during the flight. We send notes on when to change for your route.
Tip for Ihram on the plane
If you fly into Jeddah, put on Ihram at Pearson or during your connection, and make your intention when the crew announces the Miqat.
Onward Routes to Pakistan and India
Many GTA pilgrims combine Umrah with a visit to family. We build onward routings to Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Delhi, Hyderabad and other cities, before or after Umrah, on one itinerary. Pair that with a land-only Economy or Gold package from $750 CAD, and we take care of hotels, visa and transport in Saudi Arabia.
Departure Day at Pearson Terminal 1
EgyptAir checks in at Terminal 1. Plan to arrive about three hours before departure. On the way home, most airlines allow a sealed Zamzam carton per passenger from Saudi Arabia, and rules vary by carrier. If you are coming from Scarborough, Ajax or Hamilton, use the departure calculator below to compare parking with a pickup.
