WINTER & HALF-TERM UMRAH

February Umrah Packages

February Umrah packages are Umrah trips from the UK in the weeks around the start of Ramadan 2027: a week before the fast at year-round prices, or the first and second Ashras of Ramadan, half-term included. Flights, the Saudi visa, hotels and transfers come in one ATOL-protected price. Early-February weeks cost from £500 per adult with four sharing on Economy, while Ramadan trips are quoted date by date, with the last ten nights from £1,585.

FEBRUARY 2027

Can You Do Umrah in February 2027?

Yes, and February gives you two different trips: the first week, before Ramadan, at our year-round prices, or Umrah in Ramadan itself, which is expected to begin around 8 February 2027. Umrah stays open all month; the pause for Hajj comes later, after Eid al-Fitr.

Every package includes the Saudi visa, with its cost in the price; Umrah visa rules from the UK explains the rules for your passport.

THE FEBRUARY CALENDAR

Does February 2027 Fall in Ramadan?

Most of it does: Ramadan 1448 is expected to start around 8 February, so only the first seven days of February come before the fast. The first ten days of Ramadan (the first Ashra) run to about 17 February, the second Ashra to about 27 February, and the last ten nights begin around 28 February. Exact dates depend on the sighting of the moon. The meaning of each Ashra, and how to choose between them, is set out on Umrah during Ramadan 2027.

FEBRUARY WEATHER

How Hot Is Makkah in February?

Pleasantly warm: Makkah averages 33°C in the afternoon and 20°C overnight in February, and Madinah 27°C and 14°C. That makes this a mild Ramadan to fast in, with days far cooler than a summer Ramadan, and February is one of the driest months, with rain on fewer than one day on average.

Nights in Madinah are still cool enough for a jacket on the walk to Fajr and Taraweeh.

FEBRUARY HALF-TERM

Can You Do Umrah in the February Half-Term?

Yes, but in 2027 the half-term falls inside Ramadan: most English schools break from 15 to 19 February, across the end of the first Ashra and the start of the second, so half-term trips are Ramadan trips and are priced for those dates. Leaving on Saturday 13 February and returning on Sunday 21 February gives eight nights for five days of annual leave.

Check your own school's dates before you ask for a quote, and give us both the day school closes and the day it reopens, so the return flight fits. For a sense of Ramadan family costs, two adults and two children aged 2 to 11 pay £5,810 together on our Manchester last-ten-nights package; Umrah for families from the UK explains every age band.

BEFORE OR DURING RAMADAN?

Should You Go Before Ramadan or During It?

Go in the first week of February for year-round prices, calmer mosques and a journey without fasting; go in Ramadan for Umrah in the month of fasting, with Taraweeh at the Haram, knowing that prices and crowds rise towards the last ten nights. January, just before, is cooler still and fully at year-round prices.

After Eid, Umrah pauses for Hajj, so Easter Umrah prices is planned around the closure dates.

HOW LONG TO STAY

How Long Should a February Umrah Be?

A week fits the gap before Ramadan; ten or eleven nights cover an Ashra; a full month covers most of Ramadan. Our 28-night Economy package costs from £920 per adult with four sharing on year-round dates, fourteen nights in each city; a month that runs through Ramadan is priced for those dates.

Compare one-week Umrah trips, 10 day Umrah prices and two-week Umrah trips, or ask for an Umrah built for you with more nights in Madinah than Makkah, or the other way round.

FLIGHTS IN FEBRUARY

Which Airlines Fly Direct for a February Umrah?

Saudia is the only airline flying direct from the UK, to Jeddah, from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, and from Birmingham on selected dates; there is no direct flight to Madinah, and every other UK airport connects through a hub. Our Heathrow departure on 27 February, for the last ten nights of Ramadan, uses that direct flight. Road transfers are included; the Haramain high-speed train between Makkah and Madinah can be quoted as an upgrade.

GUIDE AND ZIYARAT

Do February Packages Include a Guide and Ziyarat?

Guidance comes with every tier and rises with it: Economy has a phone e-guide, 3 Star a briefing or printed booklet, 4 Star a guide for the rites, 5 Star a scholar and Luxury your own private guide. Ziyarat of the historic sites comes with the 10- and 14-night 4 Star stays and with all 5 Star and Luxury packages; on Economy and 3 Star it is an extra.

Women aged 18 and over do not need a Mahram for Umrah: see Umrah for women without a Mahram. Mosque groups can compare group Umrah prices.

How Do You Book, and Who Are You Booking With?

Cancellations are made in writing by the lead passenger, and the booking terms apply: see the booking conditions.

FAQS

February Umrah Packages: Questions and Answers

Is February a good time for Umrah?
Yes. The first week is a quiet, year-round-priced window before Ramadan, and the rest of the month is Ramadan itself, in mild weather.
Is February cheaper than March for Umrah?
The first week of February is: it sells at year-round prices, while early March holds the last ten nights of Ramadan and Eid, the dearest dates of the season.
Which month is less crowded for Umrah than February?
January, and the first week of February itself. Once Ramadan begins, the mosques fill night by night until the last ten nights.
How much does a 7 day Umrah cost in February?
Before Ramadan, from £500 per adult with four sharing on Economy up to £1,135 on Luxury; a Ramadan week is priced for its dates.
Is February the coldest month for Umrah?
No, January is. February nights in Madinah average 14°C, and Makkah's afternoons 33°C.
What should women pack for a February Umrah?
Loose, modest clothes for the mosques, comfortable shoes, a warm layer for Madinah's nights, unscented toiletries, since perfume is not used in Ihram, and a small bag for your shoes.
Does a late-February departure include the last ten nights?
Yes, if it leaves around 27 February: our Heathrow Ramadan departure that day covers the last ten nights and returns on 10 March.
How much is a 28 day Umrah package?
From £920 per adult with four sharing on Economy for 28 nights on year-round dates; a month that includes Ramadan is priced for your dates.
Can we be home before school reopens after half-term?
Yes. Tell us the day school reopens and we book the return flight to land before it.
Can I have a double room for Umrah in Ramadan?
Yes. On our Manchester last-ten-nights package two sharing pay £1,885 each, and on the Heathrow departure £2,590 each.
Can I spend more nights in Madinah in February?
Yes. Any package can be rebalanced towards Madinah, start there, or add nights in either city, and the price is confirmed before you pay.
