October 2026 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 October?
Ask a few people who go every year which month they would pick, and a lot of them say October. The heat has properly broken by then. You can walk to the Haram for all five prayers without it costing you the rest of the afternoon, and the season's heaviest crowds are still weeks off. It is the month we most often suggest to people making their first Umrah, and to older pilgrims who would rather set their own pace than keep up with somebody else's.
- Comfortable enough to walk to all five daily prayers
- The calm before the winter-holiday rush, and before winter-holiday pricing
- Swissotel Makkah faces the Haram and the Anwar Al Madinah Mövenpick faces Masjid an-Nabawi, which in a mild month like this one means you can go back for every prayer without thinking twice about the walk
Weather in October
Warm days in the 90s°F, mild evenings. Easy weather for the walk to the Haram, and for ziyarah in Madinah, which involves more time outdoors than most people expect.

October 2026 Umrah: FAQs
Because it does not force a trade-off. The summer heat has passed, the weather is comfortable for walking to the Haram, and the winter-holiday crowds and prices have not arrived yet. Most months of the year make you give up one of those. October, for a few weeks, hands you all of them at once.
It is probably the best month of the year for them. Milder temperatures turn the walk to the Haram into something manageable rather than exhausting, and the Makkah hotel on this departure faces the mosque directly, so the distance is counted in steps rather than minutes. Resting properly between prayers becomes possible. That, more than anything else, tends to decide whether an older pilgrim gets through the week comfortably.
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 Swissotel Makkah, Clock Tower and 3 nights in Madinah at Anwar Al Madinah Mövenpick, daily buffet breakfast, the Haramain high-speed train between the two cities, assisted transfers, and an Umrah guide with you throughout.
From $1,890 per person on quad occupancy, which means four of you sharing a room. Triple occupancy is $2,090 per person and double occupancy is $2,290 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.”
