February Umrah Packages
February Umrah Packages are a month of two halves for UK Muslims — early February is off-peak winter value with a quiet Haram and the school half-term week for families, while late February increasingly falls in Ramadan, the most blessed time for Umrah. Packages include return flights, an Umrah visa, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, transfers and guided Ziyarat, in 7, 10 or 14 nights across 3, 4 and 5-star tiers, from £699 per person.

More Information
Why February Is a Month of Two Halves
February is unlike any other Umrah month because it splits in two. Early February is still off-peak winter — quiet at Masjid al-Haram, mild in weather and among the cheapest of the year, much like January, so pilgrims enjoy an unhurried pilgrimage. Late February is different: it increasingly falls in Ramadan, the most spiritually rewarding time to draw closer to Allah, when demand and prices rise sharply. The exact split moves each year, so when you travel in February decides both your experience and your price.
February and the Start of Ramadan
The key fact for any February Umrah is when Ramadan begins. Ramadan starts around 18 February 2026 and around 8 February 2027, so a late-February departure will partly or fully fall in the holy month, while an early-February trip stays in the pre-Ramadan period (the month of Sha'ban). A Ramadan Umrah carries immense reward — the Prophet ﷺ said an Umrah in Ramadan equals a Hajj in reward — but Ramadan hotels near the Haram book out months ahead and cost the most of the year. If you want the Ramadan experience, plan early; if you want winter value, choose the first half of February. See our Umrah in Ramadan for holy-month departures.
The February Half-Term Family Window
The UK school February half-term — a single week in mid-February — is the one family-friendly window in the month, letting parents take children for Umrah without missing school. It is short, so a 7-night package fits best, and it sits in the pre-Ramadan part of the month in most years, keeping prices below the Ramadan peak. Half-term places fill quickly, so book early. See our Umrah for families.
February Weather in Makkah and Madinah
February is late winter in Saudi Arabia — still one of the most comfortable months for Umrah, warming slightly from January. Daytime temperatures in Makkah average 25-30°C (77-86°F), and Madinah is cooler at 19-24°C (66-75°F). Nights remain cool, especially in Madinah where they can fall to 11-14°C (52-57°F), so a light jacket is useful for evening prayers. The mild, dry conditions keep daytime Tawaf and outdoor Ziyarat comfortable.
Best Ziyarat Sites to Visit in February
February's cool, dry weather makes it an excellent month for guided Ziyarat — the tours of historical Islamic sites — before the spring heat. Every February 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 winter day trip to Taif can be added. 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
Is February a good month for Umrah?
Yes. Early February offers off-peak winter value with a quiet Haram and the school half-term for families, while late February increasingly falls in Ramadan, the most rewarding time for Umrah. The right choice depends on whether you want value or the Ramadan experience.
Does February Umrah fall in Ramadan?
Partly. Ramadan begins around 18 February 2026 and around 8 February 2027, so late-February departures fall in the holy month while early-February trips remain in the pre-Ramadan period (Sha'ban). The split moves about 11 days earlier each year.
Is early or late February better for Umrah?
Early February is cheaper and quieter (pre-Ramadan winter value); late February is more expensive and busier but offers a Ramadan Umrah. Choose early February for budget and calm, late February for the spiritual peak of Ramadan.
Are late-February Umrah packages more expensive?
Yes. Once Ramadan begins in late February, hotels near the Haram and flights rise to their highest prices of the year and sell out early, so a Ramadan-period departure costs well above an early-February trip.
Can families travel for Umrah during February half-term?
Yes. The UK February half-term is a single week in mid-February, ideal for a 7-night family Umrah without missing school. It usually sits before Ramadan, keeping prices below the peak, but places fill fast so book early.
What is the weather like for Umrah in February?
February is late winter and very comfortable. Makkah averages 25-30°C in the day; Madinah is cooler at 19-24°C, with cool nights down to 11-14°C, so a light jacket helps for evening prayers.
What is Sha'ban, and is February good for Umrah before Ramadan?
Sha'ban is the Islamic month immediately before Ramadan, a time the Prophet (peace be upon him) increased voluntary worship and fasting. Early February usually falls in Sha'ban, making it a popular, lower-cost time to perform Umrah in preparation for the holy month.
Do I need a Mahram to perform Umrah in February?
No. Since 2022, women can perform Umrah without a Mahram in any month, including February, travelling alone or in a group. See our women's Umrah packages for details.
Which UK airports offer February Umrah departures?
We arrange February departures from London, Manchester and Birmingham, with connecting options from Bradford (Leeds Bradford), Glasgow and other UK airports.
How much does a February Umrah package cost?
An early-February package costs from £699 per person for 3-star, £749 for 4-star and £899 for 5-star. Late-February departures that fall in Ramadan cost significantly more and should be booked well ahead.
Are February Umrah packages ATOL protected?
Yes. Every flight-inclusive February Umrah package is ATOL protected, so your money and return flight are financially secured.
