Affordable Umrah
Every price on this site is per person with the sharing basis stated, so the figure above is the one you would actually pay rather than a headline that grows at the checkout. What follows is how a cheaper Umrah is built — and what each saving costs you, said plainly.
Across the whole catalogue the spread is £630 to £4,515 per person. Almost all of that gap is explained by the four choices below, which means you can decide where to spend and where not to.
The single largest lever. March runs about 93% above September for the same package, because hotel rates near the Haram move that way for everyone. Moving your dates saves more than downgrading your hotel usually does.
Our entry package is priced quad sharing. The same room on a double basis costs materially more per person because the room rate is split fewer ways. This is the number most often hidden elsewhere: a low headline price usually means four to a room.
The entry package puts you at Le Méridien Towers Makkah, 450 m from the Haram. That is a real walk five times a day, and further again in the heat or with an older traveller. It is the saving people regret most, so it is worth picturing before you book rather than after.
Nights are close to linear: a shorter stay is cheaper almost in proportion. If the budget is fixed, a shorter trip nearer the Haram is usually a better journey than a longer one spent commuting to it.
Real figures from the catalogue, per person. If your dates are flexible, this table is the fastest money you will save.
| Month | From, per person | At the Haram |
|---|---|---|
| January | £660 | Quiet. The Haram is walkable at almost any hour and tawaf on the mataf is realistic. |
| February | £1,040 | Rising sharply through the month as Ramadan approaches. |
| March | £1,215 | The busiest of the year. The last ten nights fill the Haram and its courtyards completely. |
| April | £715 | Falls away quickly after Eid. One of the calmest windows of the year. |
| May | £680 | Quiet, but access tightens as Hajj preparations begin. |
| June | £680 | Hajj season. Umrah is generally not performed during this window. |
| July | £825 | Busy with families once UK schools break up, though the Haram itself stays manageable. |
| August | £860 | The busiest non-Ramadan month, driven almost entirely by school holidays. |
| September | £630 | Empties out sharply once UK schools return. |
| October | £645 | Comfortable throughout, with a brief lift over half term. |
| November | £645 | Quiet and steady. Good conditions for a slower, less rushed Umrah. |
| December | £895 | Busy over the Christmas fortnight, quiet either side of it. |
Each one states its hotel, its walking distance in metres and its sharing basis on the card, so nothing about the price needs explaining later.

A cheaper Umrah is a legitimate thing to want, and most of this page exists to help you get one. What it should not involve is finding out the real cost afterwards.
We do not quote a per-person price on a sharing basis you did not ask for, or leave the visa, transfers or checked baggage out of the figure and add them at confirmation. Every package on this site lists its exclusions beside its inclusions, in the same size type. If a quote elsewhere is materially cheaper than ours, it is worth asking which of those four levers moved — it is almost always one of them.
