By month
When you go changes the price
The same package costs £630 in the quietest month and £1,215 at the peak — a swing of 93%. That is a bigger difference than moving between star ratings, which is why this page exists before the tier pages do.
- January
Quiet. The Haram is walkable at almost any hour and tawaf on the mataf is realistic.
from £66015 packages - February
Rising sharply through the month as Ramadan approaches.
from £1,04015 packages - March
The busiest of the year. The last ten nights fill the Haram and its courtyards completely.
from £1,21515 packages - April
Falls away quickly after Eid. One of the calmest windows of the year.
from £71515 packages - May
Quiet, but access tightens as Hajj preparations begin.
from £68015 packages - June
Hajj season. Umrah is generally not performed during this window.
from £68015 packages - July
Busy with families once UK schools break up, though the Haram itself stays manageable.
from £82515 packages - August
The busiest non-Ramadan month, driven almost entirely by school holidays.
from £86015 packages - September
Empties out sharply once UK schools return.
from £63015 packages - October
Comfortable throughout, with a brief lift over half term.
from £64515 packages - November
Quiet and steady. Good conditions for a slower, less rushed Umrah.
from £64515 packages - December
Busy over the Christmas fortnight, quiet either side of it.
from £89515 packages
Months marked with a warning fall in or around the Hajj season, when Umrah visas are typically suspended. Those pages say so before they show a price.
