January 2027 Umrah Packages from the USA
7 nights in all: 4 in Makkah and 3 in Madinah. Flights, visa, insurance, 5-star hotels and the Haramain high-speed train are already in the price.
Why perform Umrah in January?
January is where the value comes back. The winter-holiday rush clears out in the first week, prices fall away with it, and the Haram settles into something far calmer while the weather holds at its cool winter best. Nothing about the conditions is worse than December. The price simply is. For pilgrims with flexible dates who want winter weather without paying the winter-holiday premium, January is consistently one of the smartest months on the calendar to travel in.
- Winter weather without the winter-holiday premium
- Calmer Haram once the December rush clears out
- A deliberate way to begin the new year
- Rotana Jabal Omar under 2 minutes from the Haram and Pullman Zamzam under 1 minute from Masjid an-Nabawi, so the cold early mornings cost you almost no walking
Weather in January
Cool and comfortable through the day. Early mornings and evenings are properly cold, more so in Madinah than Makkah. For worship these are some of the best conditions of the whole year, as long as you have brought a jacket.

January 2027 Umrah: FAQs
It is one of the better-value months of the winter season, though we would not describe any Umrah as cheap. Prices ease as soon as the December holiday peak passes, while the weather stays cool and comfortable. You get winter conditions without paying the winter-break premium. That is the whole argument for January, and for a lot of pilgrims it is argument enough.
Days are mild and pleasant. It is the early mornings and the evenings that catch people out, and Madinah runs colder than Makkah. Standing outside for Fajr in a thin thobe or abaya is the mistake first-time winter pilgrims make every year. Bring a warm layer for Fajr and Isha, and pack it in your hand luggage rather than the hold.
Everything except your personal spending. That covers round-trip airfare from JFK, IAD, ORD, ATL, LAX, the Umrah e-visa, medical insurance, 4 nights in Makkah at Rotana Jabal Omar Makkah and 3 nights in Madinah at Pullman Zamzam Madinah, daily buffet breakfast, the Haramain high-speed train between the two cities, assisted transfers, and an Umrah guide with you throughout.
From $2,190 per person on quad occupancy, which means four of you sharing a room. Triple occupancy is $2,390 per person and double occupancy is $2,590 per person. Prices are based on departures from JFK, IAD, ORD, ATL and LAX. Other US departure cities may incur additional airfare.
What our pilgrims say
Rated 4.7/5 from 30 reviews on Trustpilot.
“Fantastic ,professional, on time and gret customer service”
“My 2nd Umrah with Qibla Gateway was incredible. Called Brother Ali on Wednesday on short notice, everything was booked by Thursday, and I traveled Friday to Monday. He got me a hotel right across Gate 79 of Masjid Al Haram and the transport team confirmed every ride an hour early. Super smooth service — highly recommended!”
“My husband and I recently came back from our first umrah trip in June using Qibla Gateway's services, and it was a great experience. Our travel agent, brother Asad Khan, was very helpful and walked us through the process each step of the way. As first timers, it can be pretty daunting to keep up with all the procedures, rules and guidelines, but brother Asad and Qibla Gateway made the process smooth and supportive. The trip package was also very reasonably priced.”
