Five class days of four hours, in the city itself. The shortest package is also the most intense per day: there is little time, so that time gets filled.
The daily rhythm
Four hours of class a day, five days in a row. Outside class you are at the Haram, at the Seerah sites and among people — that is where the rest of the learning happens.
Who this package is for
- You want to know whether studying in Madinah suits you, without taking a month off straight away.
- You have limited leave and are looking for one week that counts.
- You are combining the trip with Umrah or with visiting family.
When another package fits better
If you want to move from laboured reading to genuine understanding, one week is too short for that. Look at two weeks or a month instead.
What you study
We work from the books: Durūs al-Lughah, the Madinah Books. Where you start depends on your level. We decide that together, using the free placement test and the intake call — not on paper beforehand.

You arrange your own visa: the rules differ per nationality and situation, and every participant is responsible for holding a valid one. Breakfast and dinner are included; lunch is not. The train ticket from Madinah to Makkah, flights and travel insurance fall outside the package.
Accommodation
The stay is part of the price. You sleep in our house in Madinah, with the classroom in the same building, and choose a shared room or a private bedroom — same price. You are also free to arrange your own stay.
Shared room
For students who want to stay together.
Private bedroom
More privacy during your stay. Ideal if rest and personal space are important.

Questions about this package
- Is one week enough to actually learn something?
- Twenty class hours across five days take you through the basics of reading and the first grammar. It is a serious start, not a complete course. What a sensible next step looks like is something we discuss in the intake.
- Why four hours a day here, and three in the longer packages?
- Because the week is short. Over two weeks or a month, three hours a day is easier to sustain and leaves time for the material to settle.
- Can I combine Umrah with this week?
- Yes. The Umrah is a two-day, one-night trip to Makkah, included in every package and guided. You buy your own train ticket from Madinah to Makkah.
