For travellers from the UK
Start planning your Umrah for 2027, with accommodation, transport and ziyarat arranged around your dates. Every Umrah package is tailored to your travel dates, hotel preferences and group size, and quoted individually.
Whether you hope to travel in Ramadan, during the school holidays or at a quieter time of year, planning ahead gives you more choice of hotels and dates. We don’t sell one fixed 2027 package. We listen to when you want to travel and who is travelling with you, then arrange the services that match and send you a quote.
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.
These are the expected dates for the main periods that affect Umrah in 2027. Islamic dates depend on the sighting of the moon, so the actual dates may differ by a day or so.
| Period | Expected timing in 2027 |
|---|---|
| Ramadan begins | Around 8 February (see our Ramadan Umrah packages) |
| Last ten nights of Ramadan | Around late February to early March |
| Eid al-Fitr | Around 9 or 10 March |
| Hajj season (Day of Arafah) | Around 15 or 16 May |
| Pause in Umrah permits | For several weeks before and during Hajj. Dates are announced by the Saudi authorities |
| New Umrah season | Usually opens shortly after Hajj. Check the latest dates on Nusuk |
All dates are expected and subject to moon sighting and official announcements. Expected dates follow the official Umm al-Qura calendar and may change by a day after the official moon sighting.

Many families from the UK plan Umrah around the school holidays, including Christmas, the February half-term, Easter, the May half-term, the summer holidays and the October half-term. School holiday dates vary by area and school, so check your local dates before you plan. Popular holiday periods book up early, especially when they fall close to Ramadan. See our seasonal Umrah packages for more on travelling at different times of year.
