Holidays 2026 Umrah Packages

If you have been waiting for the right time to book Umrah, the UK holiday calendar for 2026 is stacked with opportunities. Six school holiday windows, multiple bank holidays, and a Ramadan that overlaps with February half-term. That gives you more options than most years to plan a trip without pulling kids out of school or burning through annual leave.

We are Packages Umrah, a UK travel company based in Manchester. We put together complete Umrah packages that cover flights, hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, visa processing, airport transfers, and ground transport between the two holy cities. Our 3-star packages start from £459 per person, and you can book with just a £99 deposit. The rest is payable in interest-free instalments.

This page breaks down every UK holiday window in 2026, what each one means for Umrah travel, what the weather is like in Saudi Arabia during that period, and what you should expect to pay. No filler. Just the information you actually need to make a decision.

UK Holidays 2026: The Complete Calendar for Umrah Planning

Before we get into the detail of each holiday window, here is the full 2026 calendar at a glance. These dates are based on the standard England and Wales school calendar. Scottish and Northern Irish dates may differ slightly, so always check your local council.

Prices are per person at 3-star level for 7 nights. Ramadan pricing is higher due to peak hotel demand near the Haram. All other holiday windows use standard seasonal rates.

February Half Term Umrah Packages 2026

February half-term runs from 16 to 20 February 2026 in most English and Welsh schools. If you add the surrounding weekends, that gives you a travel window of roughly 9 days from Saturday 14 February to Sunday 22 February.

Here is the thing that makes 2026 unusual. Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of 17 February 2026. That means February half-term and the start of Ramadan overlap almost perfectly. You could fly out for half-term, perform Umrah during the first days of Ramadan, and be back before school starts. That is rare. It won’t happen again for years.

Weather in Makkah during mid-February sits between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. That is comfortable for Tawaf and Sa’i, especially compared to the summer months. You won’t need to worry about heatstroke or dehydration during outdoor worship.

February Half Term Pricing

Our 3-star 7-night February half-term Umrah package starts from £459 per person. If you want to stay longer and catch more of Ramadan, our 10-night package is £479 and our 14-night package is £549. Because this window overlaps with early Ramadan, hotel availability near the Haram will tighten quickly. Book early.

Ramadan 2026 Umrah Packages

Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on the evening of Tuesday 17 February and end around 19 to 20 March, with Eid al-Fitr falling on Thursday 19 or Friday 20 March. The exact dates depend on moon sighting.

Performing Umrah during Ramadan carries immense spiritual reward. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Umrah in Ramadan is equal in reward to Hajj. That is why this period sees the highest demand for packages from the UK. Hotels near Masjid al-Haram fill up months in advance, particularly during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, which in 2026 fall around 9 to 19 March.

Ramadan packages are priced higher than other periods because of hotel demand. Our 3-star Ramadan packages start from £549 per person for 7 nights. 4-star starts from £699 and 5-star from £899. If you want to be in Makkah for the last 10 nights, book now. Not next month. Now.

Why Ramadan 2026 Is Special for UK Families

Ramadan 2026 starts during February half-term and ends just before the Easter holidays begin. Families who can arrange a longer stay could travel during half-term and return after Eid al-Fitr, covering much of Ramadan without missing significant school time. Students with flexible timetables could manage the full month.

Easter 2026 Umrah Packages

Easter 2026 falls on Sunday 5 April. The school Easter break runs from Monday 30 March to Friday 10 April in most English schools. That gives you nearly two full weeks to plan a trip without disrupting your children’s education.

By late March and early April, Ramadan will have just ended. Eid al-Fitr is expected around 19 to 20 March, meaning Easter falls in the month of Shawwal. The crowds thin out after Ramadan, hotel rates come down, and you get a calmer atmosphere in both Makkah and Madinah. For families who find Ramadan too hectic, Easter is the sweet spot.

Temperatures in Makkah during early April sit between 28 and 34 degrees. Warm but manageable, especially if you plan your outdoor worship during early morning and late evening.

Easter 2026 Pricing

Our 3-star Easter Umrah packages start from £479 per person for 7 nights. A 10-night package is £499, a 12-night package is £519, and a 14-night package covers most of the Easter break at £549. These prices include flights, hotels in both cities, visa, and all transfers.

May Half Term Umrah Packages 2026

May half-term runs from Monday 25 to Friday 29 May 2026. The Spring Bank Holiday falls on Monday 25 May, so you get a natural long weekend on either side of the break.

This is a shorter window, but a 7-night package still fits neatly. Fly out on Saturday 23 May, return Saturday 30 May. You get a full week for Umrah without missing a single school day.

Temperatures in Saudi Arabia by late May are climbing. Expect 35 to 40 degrees in Makkah. It is hot, but manageable if you time your Tawaf for after Fajr or after Isha. Most of the hotels we use have air conditioning, and the Haram is temperature-controlled in the main prayer areas.

May Half Term Pricing

3-star 7-night packages for May half-term start from £459 per person. This is actually one of the more affordable holiday windows because demand is lower than Easter or December. If budget is a priority and you don’t mind the heat, May is worth considering.

Summer Holidays 2026 Umrah Packages

The summer holidays in England and Wales run from approximately 20 to 23 July through to 31 August or 1 September 2026. That is a window of nearly six weeks. Scottish schools break up earlier, typically late June, and return in mid-August.

Summer gives you the most flexibility of any holiday period. You can pick almost any dates you want, stay for 7, 10, 12, or 14 nights, and still have plenty of holiday left for other plans. It is the longest unbroken school break, which makes it popular with families.

The catch is the weather. July and August temperatures in Makkah regularly hit 42 to 45 degrees Celsius. That is genuinely extreme heat. If you are travelling with elderly parents or young children, you need to plan carefully. Stay hydrated. Avoid outdoor activity between 11am and 3pm. Use the hotel shuttle if your accommodation is more than a short walk from the Haram.

Summer 2026 Pricing

Our 3-star 7-night summer Umrah packages start from £479 per person. Demand is high during the school holiday weeks, especially the first two weeks of August when most families travel. July departures tend to be slightly cheaper. A 14-night package during summer starts from £549.

Tips for Summer Umrah

Carry a personal misting fan and electrolyte sachets. Do Tawaf after Isha prayer when the marble is cooler underfoot. Request a hotel with direct Haram access if possible. And if you are on a 4 or 5-star package, most of those hotels connect to the Haram via air-conditioned walkways.

October Half Term Umrah Packages 2026

October half-term in England and Wales runs from Monday 26 to Friday 30 October 2026. Scottish schools take their break earlier, typically around 12 to 16 October.

This is one of the most popular Umrah windows for UK families and it is easy to see why. The weather in Makkah drops to 28 to 34 degrees by late October. That is far more comfortable than summer. Crowds are moderate, hotel availability is reasonable, and you get a solid 7-night trip without touching school term time.

If you extend slightly, perhaps flying Thursday 23 October and returning Sunday 1 November, you can get a 9-night trip using just one day of school on either side. A lot of parents do this.

October Half Term Pricing

3-star 7-night October half-term packages start from £479 per person. 4-star starts from £599 and 5-star from £799. Demand for this window has been growing year on year, so early booking is the safest approach.

Christmas Holidays 2026 Umrah Packages

Christmas school holidays for 2026 run from Monday 21 December 2026 to Friday 1 January 2027. That is nearly two weeks. And for UK Muslims, this is one of the best times of year to travel for Umrah.

Here is why December works so well. The weather in Makkah during late December sits between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. That is genuinely pleasant. No extreme heat, no need to plan your worship around the midday sun. You can do Tawaf at any time of day without discomfort. Madinah is even cooler, often dropping to 12 to 15 degrees at night.

Demand is high during the Christmas break, particularly from UK families. Flights fill up and hotel rooms near the Haram get booked well in advance. If December is your preferred travel window, we recommend getting in touch by September at the latest.

December 2026 Pricing

3-star 7-night Christmas holiday packages start from £479 per person. 10-night packages are £499, and a full 14-night trip covering most of the break comes in at £549. 4-star options start from £599 and 5-star from £799.

Holidays 2026 Umrah Packages: Full Pricing Breakdown

Here is the complete pricing table for all our standard packages. These apply across all holiday windows except Ramadan, which carries a seasonal premium.

All prices are per person based on sharing. Ramadan packages start from £549 for 7 nights at 3-star. Prices may vary slightly during peak weeks within each holiday window. Solo traveller and family group rates are available on request.

Family Umrah Packages During School Holidays 2026

Family travel is at the heart of what we do. More than half of our holiday bookings are families with children, and we understand the logistics that come with it.

Child rates are available for under-12s sharing with parents. We can arrange adjoining rooms, family suites, and cots where needed. If you have elderly parents travelling with you, we can arrange ground-floor rooms, wheelchair assistance at the airport, and shorter hotel-to-Haram walking distances at 4 or 5-star level.

For families with children at different schools (common in blended families or those with kids at independent schools), we can work around overlapping holiday dates to find a window that works for everyone.

See our full Family Umrah Guide for more detail.
