Umrah in the holy month
Ramadan Umrah Packages
Performing Umrah during Ramadan is considered especially rewarding — and it's the busiest, most expensive time of year to go. Here's what to expect.
Ramadan 2027 is currently expected to begin around 8 February 2027 and end around 8 March 2027, with Eid al-Fitr following shortly after — but like every Hijri date, the exact start depends on moon sighting and can shift by a day. Ramadan Umrah packages are the most in-demand and highest-priced of the year, especially departures in the last ten nights (seeking Laylatul Qadr), so agencies typically open bookings months in advance and prices rise the closer it gets to the month. If you’re planning a Ramadan Umrah, contact agencies early — both for better pricing and because visa and flight availability tightens fast as the month approaches.

Agencies typically open Ramadan-dated packages a few months ahead of the month itself. Browse current packages and ask an agency directly about their Ramadan plans, or check back closer to the date.

When is Ramadan 2027?
Ramadan 2027 is currently expected to run from around 8 February to 8 March 2027, based on astronomical calculations — the confirmed start depends on the official moon sighting closer to the date, so treat this as an estimate.
Why is Ramadan Umrah more expensive?
Demand is at its highest all year, especially for the last ten nights of the month, so flights, hotels, and Umrah package prices all rise. Booking early — often 3-6 months ahead — is the main way to manage the cost.
Is performing Umrah in Ramadan better than at other times?
Many scholars note the special virtue of Umrah performed during Ramadan, though Umrah is valid and complete at any time of year. It's a personal and spiritual decision — this page is about the practical/logistical side, not religious guidance.
