Why Easter Is the Spring Family Umrah Window
The Easter holidays are the spring family Umrah window for UK Muslims. The school break runs for around two weeks, and with Good Friday and Easter Monday as bank holidays, working parents can take time off and travel with children for Umrah — drawing the whole family closer to Allah — without anyone missing school or much work. It falls just after Ramadan, so the Haram in Saudi Arabia has calmed from the holy-month peak, the spring weather is mild, and prices sit below the Ramadan high. For families, it is the most convenient pilgrimage window between the February half-term and the summer holidays.
When Are the UK Easter Holidays 2026 and 2027?
Easter moves each year. Easter Sunday is 5 April 2026 and 28 March 2027, with Good Friday and Easter Monday as bank holidays either side. Most UK schools take a two-week break around these dates — roughly the end of March into mid-April 2026, and late March into early April 2027 (exact dates vary by local authority and school). A 7 or 10-night package fits neatly inside the fortnight, so check your school's term dates and we will match a departure to them.
Easter Umrah for Families with Children
Easter is built around family travel, and we plan it that way: family and quad rooms close to the Haram to keep walking short with children and elderly relatives, hotels with reliable dining, and a pace that suits younger pilgrims. The mild spring weather makes daytime Tawaf manageable for children, and a guide helps the whole family through the Umrah rites. It is an ideal time for children's first experience of the holy cities. See our dedicated family-friendly Umrah.
Easter, Ramadan and Eid: How They Line Up
Because Ramadan currently ends in mid-March, the Easter holidays fall just after it in both 2026 and 2027 — so an Easter Umrah is a post-Ramadan trip, with the spiritual peak and the highest prices already passed. This makes Easter calmer and better value than a Ramadan departure, while still in pleasant spring weather. If you would prefer the holy month itself, see our the Ramadan window; for the wider month, see the April window.
Easter Weather and What to Pack
Easter falls in spring, the last mild stretch before summer. Daytime temperatures in Makkah average 30-37°C (86-99°F), and Madinah is a little cooler, with comfortable evenings. Pack light, breathable clothing for warm days and a light layer for cool evenings, plus comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, sun hats and refillable water bottles — especially for children. Your Ihram, modest clothing and any medication complete the list.
Best Ziyarat Sites to Visit at Easter
Easter's mild spring weather is ideal for guided Ziyarat — the tours of historical Islamic sites — and comfortable for families with children. Every Easter package includes guided Ziyarat in both holy cities. Around Makkah you visit Jabal al-Nour (the Cave of Hira), the Cave of Thawr, Jabal Arafat and Mina; a day trip to Taif is pleasant in spring. In Madinah the tour covers Masjid Quba (the first mosque in Islam), Masjid al-Qiblatain, Mount Uhud and Jannat al-Baqi. For the rituals themselves — entering Ihram, performing Tawaf around the Kaaba and Sa'i between Safa and Marwah — an English-speaking guide assists you on arrival at Al-Masjid al-Haram.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the Easter holidays popular for Umrah?
Because the two-week Easter school break, with Good Friday and Easter Monday bank holidays, lets UK families travel together for Umrah without missing school or much work. It falls just after Ramadan, so it is calmer and better value, in mild spring weather.
When are the UK Easter holidays in 2026 and 2027?
Easter Sunday is 5 April 2026 and 28 March 2027. Most schools take a two-week break around these dates — roughly late March into mid-April 2026 and late March into early April 2027 — though exact dates vary by school and local authority.
Are Easter Umrah packages suitable for families with children?
Yes — Easter is primarily a family window. We arrange family and quad rooms near the Haram, reliable dining and a child-friendly pace, with mild weather that makes daytime Tawaf manageable for children. See our family Umrah packages for details.
Does Easter Umrah fall in or after Ramadan?
After. Because Ramadan currently ends in mid-March, the Easter holidays fall just after it in both 2026 and 2027, so an Easter Umrah is a calmer, better-value post-Ramadan trip rather than a holy-month one.
How much does an Easter Umrah package cost?
Easter packages start from around £699 per person for 3-star, £749 for 4-star and £899 for 5-star. The Easter week carries a family-demand premium over a quiet month, but it stays well below Ramadan prices.
What is the weather like for Umrah at Easter?
Easter falls in spring, the last mild stretch before summer. Makkah averages 30-37°C in the day with comfortable evenings, so it is warm but manageable — pack light clothing, sun protection and water, especially for children.
How long should an Easter Umrah trip be?
A 7 or 10-night package fits neatly inside the two-week Easter break, leaving time at home either side. Families wanting a longer stay across both holy cities can take the 14-night option if school dates allow.
Do I need a Mahram to perform Umrah at Easter?
No. Since 2022, women can perform Umrah without a Mahram at any time, including the Easter holidays, travelling alone or in a group. See our women's Umrah packages for details.
Which UK airports offer Easter Umrah departures?
We arrange Easter departures from London, Manchester and Birmingham, with connecting options from Bradford (Leeds Bradford), Glasgow and other UK airports.
Are Easter Umrah packages ATOL protected?
Yes. Every flight-inclusive Easter Umrah package is ATOL protected, so your money and return flight are financially secured.
