Ramadan Umrah Packages 2027
Ramadan is expected to begin around 8 February 2027. There are two very different trips inside that month, and we would rather ask which one you want than assume.
The first half, or the last ten nights
People treat Ramadan Umrah as one thing. It is not. Where you sit inside the month changes the crowds, the cost and the character of the trip more than any other decision you will make.
The first half
Ramadan opens here. The reward of fasting in the Haram is no different on night three than on night twenty-three, but the crowds have not built yet and rates have not reached their ceiling. If this is your first Ramadan in Makkah, this is the half to travel in.
- Noticeably quieter than the final stretch
- Taraweeh behind the imams of the Haram
- The easier half to bring children or older parents on
The last ten nights and Eid
Laylat al-Qadr sits somewhere in these nights, and Eid al-Fitr follows. There is nothing else like it in the Islamic year and no point pretending it is the easy option. This is the window that sells out first, everywhere in the market.
- The last ten nights, and the search for Laylat al-Qadr
- Eid al-Fitr in Makkah or Madinah
- A calmer, better-value tail once Eid passes
Three departures, ten nights each. Five in Makkah, five in Madinah.
7 to 18 February and 16 to 27 February are $1,990 per person. 26 February to 9 March, which holds the last ten nights and Eid, is $2,690. Both are quad occupancy with airfare included. Triple adds $200 per person, double adds $400.
Ten nights, so the fasting and the travelling are never the same day
- Ten nights rather than seven, five in each city, so nothing is rushed
- Saja By Warwick in Madinah, about 3 minutes' walk from Masjid an-Nabawi
- Voco Makkah, with a shuttle to the Haram or about a 15 minute walk
- Round-trip airfare from JFK, IAD, ORD, ATL and LAX built into the price
- Umrah e-visa and medical insurance handled by us
- Haramain high-speed train between Makkah and Madinah
- A guide with you throughout, not a number to call if something goes wrong
- Everything confirmed in writing before you pay anything
Prices are based on departures from JFK, IAD, ORD, ATL and LAX. Other US departure cities may incur additional airfare.
“The month of Ramadan is that in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people.”
Qur'an 2:185
Reserve Your Ramadan DepartureRamadan questions, answered honestly
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027 and run roughly thirty days, which puts Eid al-Fitr in early March. The exact date depends on the moon sighting and can move by a day, so we confirm the itinerary once it is settled rather than selling you a window a sighting could invalidate.
The first and second ashra departures are $1,990 per person on quad occupancy, and the last ten nights are $2,690. Both run ten nights, five in Makkah and five in Madinah, with round-trip airfare, the Umrah e-visa, medical insurance, both hotels and the Haramain train included. Triple occupancy adds $200 per person and double adds $400. Ramadan is the most expensive window of the year because airfare climbs and hotels near the Haram reach their ceiling, which is why the last ten nights cost more than the first.
Because demand builds through the month and peaks over the last ten nights, when a very large part of the Muslim world is trying to be in the same place at the same time. Nothing about the worship is diminished in the first half. You are simply not competing with everyone else for the same room and the same spot in the mataf.
It is possible and it needs planning rather than hoping, because the Haram fills early in that window and access is managed. Tell us at the enquiry stage that i'tikaf matters to you and we will build the stay around it instead of leaving you to solve it after you land.
As early as you can, particularly for the last ten nights. Hotels within walking distance of the Haram are committed months ahead for that window, and what is left late is what nobody else wanted. Registering interest now costs nothing and puts you at the front of the queue when the programme opens.
For most people, yes, with sensible pacing. Be clear on one thing before you book: these departures stay at Voco Makkah, which runs a shuttle and is about fifteen minutes on foot from the Haram, not one of the two-minute hotels our other packages use. Plan the hottest part of the afternoon around the shuttle. What makes the month manageable is the ten nights, five in each city, rather than a seven-night rush. If anyone in your party has mobility or health needs, tell us and we will plan the days around them.

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.”
