March Umrah Packages
March Umrah packages are Umrah trips from the UK at the end of the Umrah year: the last ten nights of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and the short weeks after Eid before the last day to enter, 23 March 2027. Each includes flights, the Saudi visa, hotels and transfers in one ATOL-protected price. Our last-ten-nights packages start at £1,585 per adult with four sharing, and after Eid the year-round packages return, such as twelve 5 Star nights with all meals from £1,050.

MARCH 2027
Will Umrah Be Open in March 2027?
Yes, for most of the month: March opens with the last nights of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, and after Eid you can still arrive until 23 March 2027, the last day to enter for Umrah before the Hajj season. That makes March the last month of the Umrah year, and the dates matter more than in any other month.
Every package includes the Saudi visa, with its cost in the price; our Saudi visa guide for Umrah explains the rules for your passport.
KEY FACTS
March 2027 Umrah at a Glance
| Is Umrah open? | Yes, for arrivals up to 23 March 2027, the last day to enter. New Umrah visas stop on 9 March. |
|---|---|
| Islamic months | Ramadan 1448, then Shawwal from about 9 March; Eid al-Fitr about 9 March. |
| UK school holidays | Easter holidays begin on 22 March 2027 in Wales and Leicester, 25 March in Northern Ireland and 26 March in many English councils; in Manchester and Glasgow term runs to 2 April. |
| Fasting day in Makkah | About 13 hours from dawn to sunset on 1 March, and 13 hours 5 minutes on the last day of Ramadan (about 8 March). |
| Time difference | 3 hours ahead of the UK until Sunday 28 March 2027, when UK clocks go forward; 2 hours ahead after that. |
| Our dated departures | None fixed for this month: every package is priced for the dates you choose. |

THREE DATES TO KNOW
When Do Umrah Visas Stop Before Hajj 2027?
Saudi Arabia's published calendar for the 1448 Umrah season ends new Umrah visas on 9 March 2027, makes 23 March 2027 the last day to enter and 7 April 2027 the last day to leave. These are published dates, not estimates: they come from Saudi Arabia's published Umrah calendar for 1448, announced on 17 May 2026, and we check every booking against them. No date has been announced yet for Umrah to reopen after Hajj 2027; our estimate is early June 2027.
In practice, a trip after Eid must be booked early enough for the visa to be issued by 9 March, must land by 23 March, and must fly home by 7 April.

EID AL-FITR
Can You Spend Eid al-Fitr in Makkah?
Yes. Ask for a return flight after Eid and you can pray the Eid prayer at Masjid al-Haram, one of the largest congregations of the year. Our Heathrow last-ten-nights departure leaves on 27 February and returns on 10 March, around Eid itself; any package can be extended by a night or two so that Eid falls inside your stay. Expect the Haram to be at its fullest on the night before Eid and on the morning of the prayer.
What the last ten nights mean, and how to spend them, is covered on Umrah for the last ten nights.
AFTER EID
Can You Do Umrah After Eid in March?
Yes, between Eid and 23 March, as long as the visa is issued by 9 March and you fly home by about 7 April. These are the last quiet weeks before the closure, and year-round prices apply again. A 21-night stay that starts the day after Eid still ends before the departure limit: three weeks on Economy cost from £780 per adult with four sharing, and on 3 Star from £795.
Women aged 18 and over do not need a Mahram for Umrah: see women's Umrah tours. Mosque groups can compare Umrah groups.
EASTER 2027
Can You Do Umrah Over Easter 2027?
It depends where you live: Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027, five days after the last day to enter, but schools in Wales and Leicester finish on Friday 19 March, so families there can fly out inside the holidays. In many English councils term ends on 25 March, and in Manchester and Glasgow on 2 April, so families there have to leave before the holidays begin; everyone must be home by 7 April. For the options, Umrah in the Easter break sets out the options.
March Compared With the Other Months
FAMILY AND ROOM PRICES
What Does a March Umrah Cost a Family?
On our Birmingham last-ten-nights package, two adults and two children aged 2 to 11 sharing one room pay £5,990 together: £1,630 for each adult and £1,365 for each child. Room sharing sets the adult price: on the Manchester package it is £1,585 with four in a room, £1,705 with three and £1,885 with two. Infants and youths have their own prices on every package; see Umrah with your children.
LONGER STAYS
How Long Can a March Umrah Be?
As long as it fits between your arrival and 7 April: a 21-night trip that starts after Eid fits, and so does a month that starts in mid-February and runs through the last ten nights. Shorter trips work too: compare 7 day Umrah prices, Umrah for ten nights and 14 day Umrah prices, or build a personalised Umrah package with more nights in Madinah if you prefer.
Packages that settle meals, Ziyarat and private transfers in advance are on all inclusive Umrah deals.
FLIGHTS IN MARCH
Which Airlines Fly From the UK to Jeddah or Madinah in March?
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. Other routes connect through the Gulf, Istanbul or Cairo, and your quote names the airline and the baggage allowance. On Saudia, Zamzam water is carried on top of your baggage allowance; other airlines set their own rules, and we tell you the allowance before you pay.

FAQS
March Umrah Packages: What Pilgrims Ask
Is March a good time for Umrah?
In 2027 its opening ten days, Ramadan's final nights and then Eid, are the most sought-after of the year; after Eid only a short window is left before the Hajj closure.
What is the last date to enter Saudi Arabia for Umrah in 2027?
23 March 2027. New Umrah visas stop on 9 March 2027, and every Umrah pilgrim must leave by 7 April 2027.
Is March a cheap month for Umrah?
No, not the first days: the last ten nights of Ramadan are the dearest dates of the year. January, the first week of February and September cost far less.
How much does a 7 day Umrah cost in March?
A week in the last ten nights is priced for its dates; after Eid, a week returns to year-round prices, from £500 per adult with four sharing on Economy.
Which month is less crowded than March for Umrah?
Almost any other: the last ten nights and Eid draw the year's biggest crowds. The days after Eid are calmer, and so are January and September.
Can I arrive after Eid and stay into April?
Yes, provided you land before the entry limit in late March and are on a flight home in the first week of April.
How far is Sa'i between Safa and Marwa?
About 450 metres each way, so the seven laps of Sa'i come to a little over 3 km, all indoors and air-conditioned.
How much is a 21 day Umrah package?
On year-round dates: Economy £780 and 3 Star £795 for three weeks, each per adult with four in a room.
Is the visa included in March Umrah packages?
Yes. Every package includes the Saudi visa, with its cost in the price. Our dated Ramadan departure travels on the Saudi ETA, and year-round packages on the Umrah visa.
Can I pay for a March Umrah in instalments?
Yes. £50 per person holds your booking and is part of the price; 50% of the price is due within 24 hours, and the balance 20 days before departure. The balance can be paid in up to two instalments, and a booking made within 20 days of departure is paid in full once the tickets are issued. For our 27 February departure, the balance is due by 7 February.
Are suhoor and iftar included in March packages?
Our Manchester and Birmingham last-ten-nights packages are half board at both hotels; ask us how each hotel serves its meals around the fast.
Does Easter Sunday 2027 fall before the Umrah cut-off?
No. Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027, five days after the last day to enter, 23 March.
