For travellers from the UK
Seasonal Umrah Packages from the UK
Plan your Umrah around the times of year that work for you, from the cooler winter months to the Easter and half-term holidays. Every seasonal Umrah package is tailored to your travel dates, hotel preferences and group size, and quoted individually.
Planning Umrah Around the Seasons
For many pilgrims from the UK, the best time for Umrah depends on school holidays, time off work and the weather in Makkah. Each season brings different conditions, from comfortable winter temperatures to busier holiday periods and hotter months.
We don’t sell one fixed package. We listen to when you want to travel and who is travelling with you, then arrange accommodation, transport and ziyarat to suit that season.
Our packages cover your arrangements in Saudi Arabia: accommodation, transport, ziyarat and guidance. Flights can be included on request, or you can book them yourself.
What a Seasonal Umrah Package Can Include
Choose the services you need. Your quote will only include what you ask for.
Hotel Booking Assistance
Help finding accommodation in Makkah and Madinah that suits your budget, preferred location and travel dates. In busy seasons, booking early gives you more choice. See how our hotel booking assistance works.
Airport and City Transport
Transfers from Jeddah Airport to Makkah, road transport between Makkah and Madinah, and local journeys during your stay, with private, family, group and VIP options.
Ziyarat
Visits to places of religious and historical significance in Makkah and Madinah, as well as Jeddah and Taif. Cooler months are especially comfortable for ziyarat. See our ziyarat tours.
Umrah Guidance
Practical guidance to help you prepare for Umrah and understand each stage of your journey.
December Umrah Packages
December is one of the most popular times for Umrah from the UK. The Christmas school holidays give families time to travel together, and daytime temperatures in Makkah are usually around 30°C, which makes walking to the Haram and performing Tawaf and Sa’i more comfortable. Because many pilgrims travel at this time, hotels near the Haram tend to fill up early, so it helps to plan well ahead.
January and February Umrah Packages
January and February usually bring some of the most pleasant weather of the year in Makkah. Outside the February half-term, this can also be a calmer time to travel, which suits couples, retired travellers and anyone who prefers a quieter Umrah. Half-term dates vary by local authority and between the UK nations, so check your council’s current dates. In some years Ramadan falls during or close to these months, which can change crowd levels and availability, so check the Islamic calendar when choosing your dates. In 2027, for example, Ramadan is expected to begin in early February. If you would like to travel during Ramadan, see our Ramadan Umrah packages, and for the expected dates in 2027, see our Umrah packages for 2027.
Easter Umrah Packages
The Easter school holidays, usually around two weeks in England and Wales, give many UK families time to travel together. Dates are set locally and differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so check your council’s dates. Temperatures in Makkah start to rise in spring but are generally still manageable, especially in the early morning and evening. Easter is a busy period for UK pilgrims, and in some years it falls close to Ramadan, so booking early is recommended.
May Umrah Packages
The May half-term offers a short break that many families use for Umrah. Half-term dates vary by local authority and between the UK nations, so check your council’s current dates. By May, Makkah is very hot, often around 40°C during the day, so it is best to plan Tawaf and Sa’i for the cooler hours and allow time to rest. Umrah permits are paused for several weeks before and during Hajj each year. In 2026, for example, the pause ran from mid-April to the end of May. In 2027 Hajj is expected around mid-May, so expect the pause in the weeks before and during it. The Saudi authorities announce the exact dates each season, so check the latest dates on Nusuk before you book.
October Umrah Packages
The October half-term is another popular time for a short Umrah. Half-term dates vary by local authority and between the UK nations, so check your council’s current dates. Temperatures in Makkah are still high early in the month and start to ease as autumn goes on. October can offer a good balance between school holidays and more manageable crowds than the winter peak.
Choosing the Right Season
There is no single best time for everyone. Think about when you can travel, how well you and your family cope with heat, and whether you prefer a busier or quieter time in the Haram. For a fuller guide to seasons, Ramadan, crowds and the best times of day for Tawaf and Sa’i, read our guide to the best time for Umrah. Planning ahead? See our Umrah packages for 2027.
Visa Information
Before you book, check which visa route applies to you. Requirements depend on your nationality and where you live, and they can change, so always confirm the latest information through official Saudi sources before you travel. For more detail on the official routes, see our Umrah visa guide.

Pricing & What Affects Your Quote
We don’t publish fixed prices because every seasonal Umrah package is built around the traveller and the time of year.
Why don’t you show fixed prices for seasonal Umrah packages?
Hotel availability and rates change throughout the year, especially in school holidays and other busy periods. Instead of a fixed price, we prepare a quote based on your dates and plans, so it only includes the services you choose.
What affects the price of a seasonal Umrah package?
The main factors are your travel dates, the season and how busy it is, the hotels and room types you choose, the number of nights in Makkah and Madinah, the number of travellers, the type of vehicle, and whether you add ziyarat. School holidays usually book up earlier.
Do your Umrah packages include flights?
Our packages cover your arrangements in Saudi Arabia: hotels, transport, ziyarat and guidance. Most UK pilgrims book their own flights, and we plan everything around their arrival and departure times. If you would like help with flight tickets, ask us on WhatsApp.
