Ramadan Umrah Packages from the UK

Ramadan is the most blessed month of the Islamic year, and performing Umrah within it carries immense reward — the Prophet ﷺ taught that an Umrah in Ramadan is equal to a Hajj in reward. Fasting in the holy cities, praying in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, and seeking Allah's mercy, forgiveness, peace and a place in Jannah among millions of fellow believers is a deeply moving, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

It is also the busiest and most sought-after time of the year, so early planning is essential to secure hotels close to the Haram.

Ramadan is divided into three ten-day periods, the Ashras, and many pilgrims choose their dates around them:

• First Ashra (days 1–10) — Mercy (Rahmah): the days of Allah's mercy.
• Second Ashra (days 11–20) — Forgiveness (Maghfirah): seeking forgiveness and turning back to Allah.
• Third Ashra (days 21–30) — Refuge from the Fire: the most virtuous nights, including the last ten nights and Laylatul Qadr.

We offer packages aligned to each Ashra, as well as full-month and flexible 7, 10 and 14-night options.

The last ten nights are the spiritual peak of Ramadan, when Muslims seek Laylatul Qadr — the Night of Decree, which the Qur'an describes as better than a thousand months — on the odd nights. Many pilgrims also observe i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in the mosque during these nights. Demand for hotels beside Masjid al-Haram is at its absolute highest for the last ten nights, and they sell out many months in advance, so book as early as you can.

Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin around the second half of February 2026 and run into mid-March (subject to the moon sighting), with the last ten nights falling in mid-March and Eid al-Fitr around 20 March 2026. You can choose to perform Umrah for the full month, the first ten nights, or the highly sought-after last ten nights — tell us your preference and we'll build the right itinerary.

There is nothing like breaking your fast at iftar within sight of the Kaaba, or sharing suhoor before a day of worship. Nights in Ramadan come alive with Taraweeh, Tahajjud and Qiyam prayers and long recitations of the Qur'an. To stay strong while fasting, keep hydrated between iftar and suhoor, eat balanced meals, rest during the day and plan your tawaf and ziyarah for cooler parts of the day. Many of our hotels offer iftar and suhoor arrangements.

• Return flights from the UK with carriers such as Saudia, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad, Turkish Airlines, Gulf Air, Egypt Air and Royal Jordanian (direct and one-stop options)

• Hand-picked 3, 4 and 5-star hotels and accommodations — in Makkah within a few minutes' walk of Masjid al-Haram and in Madinah close to Masjid an-Nabawi, with Haram-view rooms available
• Airport transfers and intercity transport, including the Haramain high-speed railway option
• Guided ziyarah (ziyarat) of the holy sites with an experienced Umrah guide on selected packages

Exact inclusions vary by package — check each one above for full details.

In Makkah you can visit Masjid al-Haram, the Kaaba, Maqam Ibrahim, Safa and Marwah, Jabal al-Nour (the Cave of Hira), Jabal Thawr and Jannat al-Mualla. In Madinah, visits include the Prophet's Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi), Jannat al-Baqi, the Quba Mosque, Masjid al-Qiblatain and Mount Uhud. An Umrah guide accompanies selected packages to explain the significance of each site.

We arrange Ramadan Umrah departures from airports across the UK — London Heathrow (LHR) and Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN), Birmingham (BHX), Glasgow (GLA), Edinburgh (EDI), Leeds Bradford (LBA), Newcastle (NCL) and Bristol (BRS) — and also serve pilgrims in Bradford, Leeds and beyond. Browse our London, Manchester and Birmingham packages, with group, family and ladies-only options on request.

Ramadan is the highest-demand period of the year, and the last ten nights in particular sell out far in advance, so prices are at a premium. We strongly recommend booking as early as possible — many months ahead for the last ten nights and Eid. To make it easier, we offer low deposits and flexible payment options — instalment and pay-monthly plans — with a clear cancellation policy explained upfront. UK residents who hold another passport can usually still obtain an Umrah visa, and under current Saudi rules women aged 18 and over may perform Umrah without a mahram, typically in an organised or ladies-only group.

As an ATOL 74904-protected UK travel agency, we handle every detail — flights, visa, hotels and transfers — with friendly support from our UK-based team of Umrah experts, so you can devote the blessed month to worship. Tell us your preferred Ashra or dates, hotels and budget and we'll tailor an all-inclusive Ramadan Umrah package and send a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden charges.
