September 2026 Umrah Packages from the USA
This departure has now travelled. You will find the upcoming fixed-date departures below, or see the full departure calendar.
Why perform Umrah in September?
September is the month the Saudi summer finally lets go. July and August are punishing; by September the worst of the heat has broken, the families who travelled over the school holidays have gone home, and rates settle back down before the winter season pushes them up again. The Haram feels like a different place. You can walk to Fajr without arriving drained, and stand through a long Isha without counting the minutes. For a first Umrah, or for anyone who has been before and wants the quiet version of it, September is badly underrated.
- Our lowest monthly departure price of the season
- The heat has broken, but winter pricing has not arrived
- Noticeably quieter Haram once the school holidays end
- A good month for a first Umrah, because you are not fighting the heat and the crowds at the same time for somewhere to pray
- Swissotel Makkah facing the Haram, Anwar Al Madinah Mövenpick in Madinah

September 2026 Umrah: FAQs
Yes, and it is one of the more overlooked ones. The summer heat starts to ease, crowds fall away as soon as schools go back, and the price sits well below the winter and holiday peaks. If what you want is an unhurried Umrah with room to pray where you like, September gives you that. The trade-off is the middays, which are still hot.
Much quieter than summer, Ramadan or the winter holidays. Praying close to the Kaaba becomes realistic rather than a matter of luck, and tawaf and sa'i are far less of a crush than at peak season. It is never empty, of course. No month in Makkah is. But the difference against peak season is one you notice within an hour of arriving.
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 $1,790 per person on quad occupancy, which means four of you sharing a room. Triple occupancy is $1,990 per person and double occupancy is $2,190 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.”
