Ramadan 1448 · 2027
Ramadan is the most rewarding time to be in Makkah and, by a distance, the most crowded and most expensive. Both of those are true at once, and you should hear them from us rather than discover the second on arrival.

The busiest of the year. The last ten nights fill the Haram and its courtyards completely.
Haram-precinct hotels for the last ten nights are typically gone six to nine months ahead. If you are reading this inside three months, expect to be further out or to pay considerably more.
Ramadan runs roughly 70% above a quiet month for the same package. That is the market, not a markup — hotel rates near the Haram move the same way for everyone.
The bulk of Ramadan 1448 falls in March 2027, including the last ten nights and Laylat al-Qadr. This is the most rewarding time to be in Makkah and by some distance the most expensive and most crowded. Expect to pray in the courtyards rather than inside.
