More Than Just Umrah Packages
April Umrah Package 2027 from the UK starts from £659 per person — returning flights, Umrah visa processed through the official Saudi portal, named hotel in Makkah and Madinah, and all ground transport within Saudi Arabia included. April 2027 covers Shawwal 1448 AH — the month that follows Ramadan — and aligns directly with UK Easter school holidays, making it one of the most practical family Umrah windows of the entire 2027 calendar.
April is a month of two distinct Umrah characters. The first nine days of April (Shawwal 1–9) follow immediately after Eid al-Fitr, when the Haram carries a warmth and post-Ramadan joy that long-term pilgrims consistently describe as unlike any other time. Hotels and UK-Saudi Arabia flights are still in demand from Eid-period bookings, but the fever-pitch of Ramadan itself has passed. From mid-April onwards, as schools return and Eid crowds disperse, the Haram settles into a quiet, spacious rhythm — giving pilgrims who travel in the second half of April some of the most peaceful Tawaf conditions of any school-holiday-adjacent month.
Packages Umrah (7 Huxley Avenue, Manchester M8 0SJ) arranges April 2027 packages from every major UK airport — Manchester, Heathrow, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, and more. WhatsApp +44 7737 144335 for a same-day, itemised quote. All April 2027 packages are priced £20 below comparable UK market rates.
Shawwal is the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and carries specific Islamic significance beyond simply ‘being after Ramadan’. The Prophet ﷺ fasted six days of Shawwal following Eid, and scholars have noted that combining Ramadan fasting with six Shawwal fasts carries the reward of fasting the entire year. The spiritual momentum built during Ramadan does not evaporate with Eid — it continues through Shawwal for those who maintain their practice. Performing Umrah in Shawwal means arriving in Makkah while that momentum is still alive across the global Muslim community. The Haram in early Shawwal feels different from the Haram in, say, June — pilgrims are still in a state of post-Ramadan spiritual elevation, and the atmosphere reflects that.
The weeks immediately after Ramadan are when UK pilgrims who have planned poorly often wish they had booked a few days later. The Eid-period Haram retains much of Ramadan’s energy without the 3am crowds and 20-rakats-of-Taraweeh schedule. Tawaf is manageable. Rawdah visits in Madinah have better availability than they did during the Last Ashra. The Haram’s atmosphere — without needing to be in the middle of a packed Ramadan night — is still spiritually elevated because millions of pilgrims who extended their stays are still there. For UK Muslims who find the full Ramadan experience too physically intense, the first two weeks of April offer a gentler but still spiritually charged alternative.
UK Easter school holidays 2027 run from approximately 22nd March to 9th April for most English and Welsh schools. Good Friday falls on 26th March 2027, Easter Monday on 29th March 2027. This means most families have children at home from approximately 26th March through to 9th April — directly overlapping with the opening of April and the Shawwal post-Eid period. For UK Muslim families wanting to perform Umrah together during a school break, the Easter–early April window is the first major opportunity of the post-Ramadan year.
Easter 2027 school holidays: ~22 March – 9 April (England & Wales). Scottish schools vary by local authority — many break late March through mid-April. Northern Ireland Easter break: approx. 25 March – 7 April. Confirm your specific local authority dates before booking.
April sits at the transition point between Makkah’s mild winter and its intense summer. Average daytime high: 36–38°C. Overnight low: 22–24°C. This is noticeably warmer than January through March but significantly more manageable than May onwards, when temperatures begin their push toward 40°C+. For UK pilgrims, April temperatures require sensible management: avoid direct sun between 12pm–4pm, stay hydrated with Zamzam water, and plan morning and evening Tawaf when temperatures are at their most comfortable. The Haram itself is fully air-conditioned throughout — outdoor Tawaf at Fajr (around 5:30am) or after Isha is genuinely pleasant in April.
Early April (1st–9th) sees elevated crowds due to Eid holiday pilgrim volumes and UK Easter family departures. From approximately 10th April onwards, as UK schools return and Eid crowds disperse, the Haram becomes noticeably quieter. Mid-to-late April — approximately 10th–30th April — offers some of the most manageable Tawaf conditions of any school-holiday-adjacent month. Tawaf that takes 2–3 hours during Ramadan can be completed in 30–45 minutes in late April. For UK pilgrims who want the post-Ramadan spiritual context without the peak crowds, the second half of April is one of the best-kept secrets in the UK Umrah calendar.
April 2027 offers four distinct travel windows, each with a different Islamic context, crowd level, price point, and UK school holiday alignment. Choose your window based on what matters most — family holiday availability, crowd preference, or price.
April Window | Islamic Month | UK School Status | Crowd Level | Price Guide |
1–9 Apr 2027 | Shawwal 1–9, 1448 | Easter Holidays (most schools) | High — post-Eid families | From £695/pp |
10–16 Apr 2027 | Shawwal 10–16, 1448 | Easter ends ~12 Apr (return) | Moderate — quieter mid-month | From £675/pp |
17–23 Apr 2027 | Shawwal 17–23, 1448 | Term time (most schools) | Low — best quiet window | From £659/pp |
24–30 Apr 2027 | Shawwal 24–30, 1448 | Term time | Low — approaching May | From £659/pp |
The clearest recommendation: families with school-age children should target the Easter window (1st–9th April). Pilgrims without school constraints who want maximum Haram space and lowest prices should target mid-to-late April (17th–30th April). Both windows deliver a meaningful Shawwal Umrah — the difference is crowd level and price.
All prices are per person, quad sharing, from any major UK airport. Flights, Umrah visa, named hotels in both holy cities, and all Saudi ground transport are included. Easter-period prices (1st–9th April) run slightly higher than mid-to-late April due to demand.

We arrange April 2027 flights from Manchester, London Heathrow, Birmingham, Gatwick, Luton, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Leeds Bradford. April flight demand peaks in the first ten days (Easter and post-Eid period) and eases significantly from mid-April. For families travelling during Easter, early booking — ideally by January 2027 — secures preferred departure times and better flight pricing. All bookings confirm airline name, terminal, flight number, and check-in time in writing.
Your April 2027 Umrah visa is processed through the official Saudi Nusuk portal on your behalf. Under the 30-day entry validity rule, we apply approximately 3–4 weeks before your April departure. You send documents by WhatsApp — we prepare, submit, and track. Standard processing: 4–7 working days. Required documents: UK passport (6+ months validity), passport photograph, MenACWY vaccination certificate. April packages present no particular visa timing complications — Ramadan-period restrictions are lifted, and standard processing applies throughout the month.
Your hotel name, star rating, and distance from the Haram in metres are confirmed in writing before you pay your deposit. For April, hotel availability near the Haram is significantly better than during Ramadan — 3-star hotels 300–800 metres from the Haram and 4-star hotels 100–400 metres are bookable without the 6-month advance notice that Ramadan requires. April is one of the few post-peak months where pilgrims can book and still access good proximity options.
Airport transfer on arrival in Jeddah or Madinah, intercity transport between Makkah and Madinah, and return airport transfer — all included. Saudi ground transport in April operates normally without the Ramadan-specific schedule constraints, making connections and timings straightforward.
One named agent handles your April 2027 booking from first enquiry to return flight. The same agent is on WhatsApp 24/7 throughout your Saudi Arabia stay. For families travelling with children during Easter, having a direct contact who knows your booking, hotel, and family composition is particularly valuable.
Travel insurance (required for visa approval), MenACWY vaccination, most meals unless specified, personal spending, and optional Ziyarat tours are not included. Every exclusion is stated in writing before your deposit is paid.
Seven nights (4 Makkah, 3 Madinah) is the most popular April duration for UK pilgrims with limited leave. An Easter departure from the UK on 1st–2nd April and return by 8th–9th April fits precisely into the Easter school holiday window — children return to school on 10th–12th April, and parents have used only 3–4 days of annual leave. For mid-April departures, a Thursday flight out and the following Thursday flight back uses just 5 working days. Seven nights covers all four Umrah rituals, the Rawdah visit, and Madinah Ziyarat. Recommended for: families using the Easter break, UK professionals with limited leave, and first-time pilgrims doing a focused April pilgrimage.
Ten nights (6 Makkah, 4 Madinah) is our recommended April upgrade for first-time pilgrims and families who can extend past the Easter break. Six nights in Makkah gives you time to perform Tawaf at genuinely different hours: sunrise Tawaf when the Kaaba is lit in the morning light, afternoon Tawaf in the air-conditioned inner sections, and night Tawaf after Isha when the marble courtyard cools. In April’s 36°C heat, planning Tawaf around the heat cycle over 6 nights becomes second nature by day 3 or 4. The cost difference at 3-star: £50 per person. For most UK families, this is the upgrade worth taking.
Twelve nights in April suits two groups: retired UK Muslims wanting a meaningful post-Ramadan spiritual retreat, and extended families where members travel at different pace. For early April departures (1st April), a 12-night package takes you through the post-Eid Shawwal blessing period and returns you to the UK by 13th April — after most schools have resumed, but before the workload of the spring term fully re-establishes itself. Twelve nights gives 7 nights in Makkah — enough to truly settle into the Haram’s daily rhythm, where you begin to recognise the prayer-time announcements by sound before you see the time.
Two full weeks in April — 8 Makkah nights, 6 Madinah nights. For UK pilgrims who have the annual leave and want to give the pilgrimage its full due, 14 nights in April is one of the most comfortable extended Umrah options of the year. April’s 36–38°C temperatures are warm but manageable for a fortnight stay. The Haram is not crowded. Hotels are fully available. And Shawwal’s spiritual context — the month of post-Ramadan momentum and the six-day voluntary fast — gives the extended stay genuine Islamic significance beyond the pilgrimage itself. This is the format most commonly booked by UK couples doing a major anniversary pilgrimage or by parents bringing adult children for the first time.
Rating | Haram Distance | Walk Time | April Price Range | Best For |
3 Star | 300–800m | 6–15 min | £659–£785/pp | Budget families, healthy adults, mid-to-late April quiet period |
4 Star | 100–400m | 2–8 min | £779–£1,019/pp | Families with children, elderly pilgrims, Easter-period trips |
5 Star | 50–200m | 1–3 min | £979–£1,349/pp | Anniversary trips, first-time luxury Umrah, mobility-limited pilgrims |
In April’s 36–38°C daytime temperatures, the distance to the Haram matters more than in the mild months of January and February. Midday heat between 12pm–4pm makes a 400-metre walk uncomfortable even for healthy adults. For families with children under 10, or for pilgrims over 65, 4-star proximity is the practical choice in April. The extra cost versus 3-star is approximately £120/pp on a 7-night package — it buys you a meaningfully shorter walk in warm weather across 4 Makkah nights.
Easter 2027 gives UK Muslim families a two-week school break that lands precisely in post-Ramadan Shawwal — a combination that may not recur for years in the same form. The spiritual context is excellent (Shawwal immediately after Ramadan), the weather in Makkah is warm but manageable, and the Easter school break means children do not miss school and parents need only minimal annual leave. For many UK Muslim families, Easter 2027 is the first realistic full-family Umrah opportunity since Ramadan itself.
April in Makkah at 36–38°C requires sensible planning for children. Avoid outdoor Tawaf between 12pm–4pm — the Haram’s interior sections and the Mas’a (Sa’i walkway) are fully air-conditioned and comfortable throughout the day. Plan morning activities (Fajr, Tawaf, breakfast) and evening activities (Asr, Tawaf, dinner, Isha), with a long midday rest in your hotel. April’s overnight temperature of 22–24°C means evenings are pleasant, and post-Isha Tawaf at 9–10pm is comfortable even for young children. We configure family rooms or adjoining rooms at booking — cots for infants on request.
April 2027 is an excellent first Umrah opportunity for UK Muslim teenagers. The post-Ramadan atmosphere in Makkah in early April retains the spiritual energy of the holy month without the physical intensity of Last Ashra crowds. For young people who have grown up performing Taraweeh at their local mosque, being in the Haram in Shawwal — seeing the scale of the Kaaba for the first time, performing their own Tawaf, and standing in the Rawdah — is an experience that consistently shapes their relationship with the faith for decades. We arrange youth-focused briefings on Umrah rituals before departure for families with teenage travellers.
Scottish school Easter holidays vary by local authority, typically running from late March through mid-April. Many Scottish councils break from approximately 26th March to 14th April — giving Scottish families a slightly longer Easter window than English schools. Packages Umrah serves the entire Scottish Muslim community: Glasgow (Pollokshields, Govanhill), Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, and beyond. We arrange April departures from Glasgow Airport or Edinburgh Airport on single itineraries through to Jeddah or Madinah. Tell us your specific Scottish school authority at the quote stage and we match your April departure accordingly.
The four acts of Umrah (Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i, Halq/Taqsir) take 2–4 hours depending on crowd levels. In mid-to-late April, expect 1.5–2.5 hours for a calm, well-paced Umrah — significantly faster than Ramadan peak times. The best time to perform Tawaf in April is between Fajr and sunrise (approximately 5:30–7:00am) when temperatures are coolest and crowds are lowest. The second-best window is after Maghrib (approximately 6:30–8:00pm). Midday Tawaf (11am–3pm) is possible inside the Haram’s cooler lower levels but avoid direct sunlight on the outdoor Mataf.
The Prophet ﷺ encouraged the six voluntary fasts of Shawwal following Eid. UK pilgrims performing Umrah in April can observe these Shawwal fasts while in Makkah — combining the spiritual act of pilgrimage with the Sunnah fast in the most sacred environment on earth. Suhoor and Iftar in your Makkah hotel while performing the Shawwal fast, with Tawaf at sunrise and again after Iftar, is a combination unique to April’s position in the Islamic calendar.
The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Whoever fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the whole year.’ (Sahih Muslim 1164). Combining these fasts with an April Umrah is possible for any pilgrim in reasonable health.
Packages Umrah arranges April 2027 departures from every major UK airport. Our Manchester base (7 Huxley Avenue, M8 0SJ) means Northern England and Scottish pilgrims receive the same quality and pricing as London customers without the need to route through the capital.
Manchester (MAN) operates direct Jeddah services throughout April 2027. Easter family departures from Manchester are particularly popular — we recommend securing Easter-period April flights by December 2026. Manchester is the most practical departure point for Greater Manchester, East Lancashire (Blackburn, Burnley, Nelson, Colne, Accrington), Yorkshire (Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Halifax), Cheshire, and all of Scotland via road or rail connections. Direct flight time: approximately 6 hours 45 minutes.
Heathrow (LHR) carries the highest volume of Easter Umrah departures from the UK. Direct Saudi Airlines and British Airways services operate throughout April. For London, the Home Counties, and South East England communities, Heathrow is the natural April departure point. Easter flights from Heathrow in the first ten days of April are in high demand — book by January 2027.
Birmingham (BHX) serves the West Midlands Muslim community throughout April with direct and one-stop Jeddah options. Easter families from Sparkbrook, Alum Rock, Handsworth, Small Heath, and surrounding Birmingham communities predominantly use BHX. Connecting options via Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways supplement the direct routes.
Scottish pilgrims travel on single-booking itineraries connecting through Manchester or London to Jeddah or Madinah. Scottish Easter holiday dates extend to mid-April for many local authorities — give us your specific council area at the quote stage and we match your April departure to your school calendar. We serve Pollokshields, Govanhill, the Edinburgh Muslim community, Dundee, Stirling, Perth, and all Scottish locations.
Leeds Bradford (LBA), London Luton (LTN), Gatwick (LGW), Newcastle (NCL), and regional airports all provide connecting routes to Saudi Arabia via hub airports. For East Lancashire and West Yorkshire communities, Manchester Airport is typically 45–90 minutes by road and offers the most direct April routing.
WhatsApp or call +44 7737 144335. Tell us your preferred April window (Easter 1–9 Apr, mid-April 10–16, or late April 17–30), UK departure airport, number of travellers including children’s ages, and star preference. Walk-in visits welcome at 7 Huxley Avenue, Manchester M8 0SJ.
We return a personalised quote the same day — specific hotel name, exact metres from Haram, airline and flight times, Easter vs off-peak pricing breakdown, and total cost with every inclusion stated. Not a generic estimate — a bookable quote for your specific April dates.
A £100 per person deposit secures your April hotel, flights, and dates. For Easter-period packages (1st–9th April), confirm by January 2027 to secure preferred hotels. Balance due 8 weeks before departure.
Send by WhatsApp: passport photo, passport photograph, MenACWY certificate. We verify and confirm completeness within 24 hours.
We submit your April 2027 Umrah visa through the official Saudi Nusuk portal approximately 3–4 weeks before departure. We register you on Nusuk and pre-book your Rawdah visit in Madinah before you fly. Standard processing: 4–7 working days.
Two weeks before your April departure: e-tickets, hotel voucher with exact distance confirmed, Saudi Arabia ground transport itinerary, Nusuk permit confirmation, Rawdah booking reference, and UK airport departure guide for your specific terminal.
Your agent is available on WhatsApp 24/7 throughout your April 2027 pilgrimage. For Easter family packages especially, having a direct contact for children’s travel queries, hotel questions, or any on-ground issues is a practical necessity.

How much does an April Umrah package cost from the UK in 2027?
Our April 2027 3-star packages start from £659/pp for a 7-night package in mid-to-late April. Easter-period packages (1st–9th April) add approximately £30–£50/pp. 4-star April starts from £779/pp. 5-star from £979/pp. All prices include flights, visa, named hotels, and all Saudi transport.
Is April Umrah cheaper than Ramadan?
Yes — significantly. March Ramadan packages start from £879/pp (3-star, 7 nights). April off-peak packages start from £659/pp — approximately £220 per person less than Ramadan. The post-Ramadan spiritual context is maintained in early April, with considerably lower prices.
How much is a 7 nights April Umrah package from the UK?
Our 7-night 3-star April package starts from £659/pp from any major UK airport. The 4-star 7-night option starts from £779/pp. The 5-star starts from £979/pp. All include return flights, visa, hotels in both cities, and transfers.
How much is a 10 nights April Umrah package?
Our 10-night 3-star April package starts from £709/pp. The 4-star 10-night option starts from £859/pp. Ten nights gives 6 Makkah + 4 Madinah — our recommended April duration for first-time pilgrims and families.
How much is a 12 nights April Umrah package?
Our 12-night 3-star April package starts from £749/pp. The 4-star 12-night option starts from £939/pp. Twelve nights in April is ideal for retired pilgrims and extended family groups.

Are Easter Umrah packages more expensive than mid-April?
Easter-period April packages (1st–9th April) typically run £30–£50/pp more than mid-to-late April due to higher Easter family demand on both UK-Saudi flights and Haram-proximate hotels. Mid-to-late April (10th–30th) is consistently our best-value April window.
Is there a deposit option for April 2027?
Yes — £100 per person secures your April hotel, flights, and dates. Balance due 8 weeks before departure. Monthly payment plans available for bookings made 3+ months in advance.
What Islamic month is April 2027?
April 2027 falls in Shawwal 1448 AH — the tenth month of the Islamic calendar and the month immediately following Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr falls on approximately 9th–10th March 2027, placing the opening of April solidly in Shawwal.
What is the spiritual significance of Umrah in Shawwal?
Shawwal is the month of post-Ramadan spiritual continuation. The Prophet ﷺ fasted six voluntary days in Shawwal, and combined with Ramadan, this carries the reward of fasting the full year (Sahih Muslim 1164). Performing Umrah in Shawwal means arriving in Makkah while the global Muslim community maintains its post-Ramadan spiritual elevation.
Can I perform the six Shawwal fasts during an April Umrah?
Yes. Pilgrims in Makkah during April can observe the six Shawwal voluntary fasts while performing Umrah — combining two significant acts of worship in the most sacred environment on earth. Suhoor and Iftar can be taken at your hotel or at restaurants near the Haram.
Is the Haram spiritually different in April compared to other months?
Early April (Shawwal 1–10) carries noticeable post-Ramadan spiritual warmth — many Ramadan pilgrims extend their stays through Eid, and the atmosphere reflects a collective relief and joy after 30 days of fasting. From mid-April, the Haram settles into its quieter rhythm, which many pilgrims find ideal for personal reflection and unhurried worship.
When are UK Easter school holidays 2027?
Easter school holidays 2027 run from approximately 22nd March to 9th April for most English and Welsh schools. Good Friday is 26th March, Easter Monday 29th March. Scottish school Easter holidays vary by local authority — most break from late March through mid-April. Northern Ireland Easter break: approximately 25th March to 7th April.
Can I perform Umrah with my children during Easter 2027?
Yes — and Easter 2027 is an excellent opportunity. The post-Ramadan Shawwal context, combined with the school holiday timing, gives UK Muslim families a genuinely meaningful family Umrah window. We configure family rooms, manage children’s documents, and provide pre-departure ritual guidance for families with young pilgrims.
Does Easter Umrah 2027 fall in Ramadan?
No — Ramadan 1448 ends approximately 8th–9th March 2027, with Eid on approximately 9th–10th March. Easter school holidays begin approximately 22nd March, which is already in Shawwal. Easter 2027 Umrah packages are post-Ramadan packages, not Ramadan packages.
Is April Umrah suitable for young children (under 5)?
Mid-to-late April (17th–30th April) is manageable for young children with proper heat management — morning and evening Haram visits, air-conditioned hotel rest periods from 12pm–4pm, and Zamzam water throughout. For children under 3, we recommend travelling with a lightweight stroller and planning around Haram rest times. 4-star proximity significantly reduces walking distance for families with infants.
My child’s school breaks for Easter on 27th March — can I depart before 1st April?
Yes — our April page covers packages departing throughout April, but we also arrange late-March Easter packages that connect into Shawwal’s opening days. WhatsApp us with your specific school holiday dates and we build the ideal departure.
Is 7 nights enough for April Umrah 2027?
Yes — 7 nights covers all Umrah rituals and Madinah Ziyarat comfortably. For Easter packages aligned with the school break, 7 nights fits perfectly into the 22nd March – 9th April window. For pilgrims wanting more Makkah time, 10 nights is the recommended step up.
What is the Makkah-Madinah split for April packages?
7 nights: 4 Makkah + 3 Madinah. 10 nights: 6 Makkah + 4 Madinah. 12 nights: 7 Makkah + 5 Madinah. 14 nights: 8 Makkah + 6 Madinah. Custom splits available on request at the quote stage.
What time of day is best for Tawaf in April?
Early morning Tawaf between Fajr and sunrise (5:30–7:00am) is coolest and least crowded. Post-Maghrib Tawaf (7:00–9:00pm) is also comfortable. Avoid outdoor Tawaf between 12pm–4pm when direct sun temperatures peak at 38°C+. The inner Haram levels and Mas’a walkway are fully air-conditioned and comfortable throughout the day.
Can I perform Umrah more than once during an April stay?
Yes. After completing your first Umrah and exiting Ihram, you can re-enter the state from Masjid Aisha (Tan’im, ~5km from the Haram) and perform additional Umrahs. Many April pilgrims, particularly on 10–14 night packages, perform 2–3 Umrahs across their stay.
Which UK airports fly to Saudi Arabia in April 2027?

How do I get an Umrah visa for April 2027?

When should I book my April 2027 Umrah package?
Easter-period April (1st–9th): by December 2026 – January 2027. Mid-to-late April: by February 2027. The earlier you book, the better your hotel proximity options and flight departure times.
Is April Umrah good for elderly pilgrims?
Early April (1st–9th) is the most popular elderly window — post-Ramadan Haram warmth, manageable crowd levels, and comfortable temperatures in the 28–36°C range. We recommend 4-star minimum for pilgrims over 65 in April due to the 36–38°C daytime temperatures — shorter hotel-to-Haram distance reduces heat exposure significantly. Wheelchair assistance arranged in advance.
Can women travel for April Umrah without a Mahram?
Yes. Current Saudi regulations allow women aged 18 and over to perform Umrah without a Mahram as part of an organised group. All our April 2027 packages qualify under this regulation.
Can I book a mosque group for April Umrah 2027?
Yes — we arrange April group Umrah for mosque communities of 5 to 50+ pilgrims. Easter-period group bookings should be enquired by December 2026 to secure hotel block availability.
Are there April Umrah packages for first-time pilgrims?
Yes — and April is an excellent month for first-timers. The quieter Haram (particularly mid-to-late April) gives first-time pilgrims space to learn the rituals without the pressure of peak-period crowds. We provide a pre-departure ritual guide and brief all first-time pilgrims on what to expect.

April 2027 is Shawwal 1448 — the month that follows Ramadan’s extraordinary blessings with its own specific Islamic significance. Easter school holidays align with the opening of Shawwal, making April the most practical family Umrah month of the post-Ramadan year. And from mid-April onwards, the Haram settles into a quiet, spacious rhythm that rewards unhurried pilgrims with some of the most peaceful Tawaf conditions available anywhere in the 2027 calendar.
Easter-period April packages fill from December 2026. For mid-to-late April, booking by February 2027 secures the best hotel proximity and flight options. Your April Umrah package from £659/pp includes return flights from your UK airport, visa processed through the official Saudi portal, named hotel in both cities, all ground transport, and dedicated agent support throughout.

Packages Umrah — Manchester’s Umrah specialists. April 2027 Shawwal packages available now.
Umrah is a voluntary Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year. It is open to all Muslims worldwide, regardless of age or gender, provided women under 45 are accompanied by a Mahram.
Hajj is the compulsory annual pilgrimage performed during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Umrah is a voluntary pilgrimage that can be performed throughout the year and is often referred to as the “lesser pilgrimage.”
The actual rituals of Umrah — Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i, and Halq or Taqsir — can be completed in a few hours. However, most pilgrims spend 7 to 14 days in Saudi Arabia to maximise their time in worship at the Haram.
Umrah can be performed throughout the year. However, Ramadan is considered the most spiritually rewarding time, as performing Umrah during this month holds the reward equivalent to Hajj. January to March also offer cooler temperatures and a peaceful atmosphere.
Our Umrah packages typically include return flights from the UK, hotel accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah, airport transfers, Umrah visa processing, and 24/7 customer support. Full details are listed on each individual package page.
