Quick answer

- Current Umrah packages start from £749 (3-star, 7 nights). These are not guaranteed Ramadan prices, so confirm a quote for your exact dates.

Ramadan is one of the most meaningful times of the year to perform Umrah. For Muslims living in the UK, travelling to Makkah and Madinah in Ramadan is a chance to combine worship, reflection and a carefully planned pilgrimage.
It is also one of the busiest travel periods. Flights can become limited, hotels close to the Haram can sell quickly, and prices may rise as demand grows. Planning early gives you a better choice of flights, hotels, room types and dates.
ImportantIslamic dates follow the lunar calendar. The start and end of Ramadan depend on official moon sighting announcements. Always confirm the final dates before you travel.
When is Ramadan 2027?
| Event | Expected date |
|---|---|
| Ramadan begins | Around 8 February 2027 |
| Last days of Ramadan | Around 8 to 9 March 2027 |
| Eid al-Fitr | Around 9 or 10 March 2027 |
Ramadan may last 29 or 30 days. These dates are estimates, not guaranteed dates, because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle.
The last ten nights are especially important for many pilgrims, because of their spiritual weight and the chance of seeking Laylat al-Qadr. If worship in the final nights is your main goal, plan your flights and hotels around those dates now, rather than waiting until Ramadan begins.
