Why Perform Umrah During the Easter Holidays?
Easter 2027 arrives just after Ramadan, which ends in early March that year. This timing works strongly in your favour. The huge Ramadan crowds will have gone home, hotel prices in Makkah drop sharply, and you can perform Tawaf and Sa'i with far more space and calm than you would find a few weeks earlier. If you would rather travel during the holy month itself, take a look at our Ramadan Umrah packages instead.
Here is what makes Easter such a sensible choice:
No time off from school. Children travel during their official holidays, so there are no absence letters or fines to worry about.
Comfortable weather. Late March and April in Makkah usually sit between 25°C and 35°C — warm, but nothing like the fierce heat of July and August.
Lower prices than in Ramadan. Once Ramadan ends, flight and hotel costs fall. Your budget stretches further, or you can upgrade to a hotel closer to the Haram.
Shorter queues everywhere. From visa processing to the Haram itself, everything moves faster outside the peak season.
A meaningful family holiday. Instead of a standard getaway, your children experience Makkah and Madinah first-hand. Many parents say it is the trip their children remember most.
What Is Included in Our Easter Umrah Packages?
Every Easter Umrah package from Islamic Travel includes the essentials as standard:
- Return flights from your chosen UK airport
- Umrah visa processing
- Hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah
- Ground transport between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah in air-conditioned vehicles
- Optional Ziyarah tours of the historical sites in both holy cities
- Support from our UK-based team before and during your trip
You choose the hotel standard, the number of nights, and how you split your stay between Makkah and Madinah. Nothing is fixed until you are happy with it.
Easter Umrah Package Options and Prices
We build packages around three hotel levels, so there is a realistic option for every budget:
3-Star Easter Umrah Packages — Our most affordable option, starting from around £549 per person for 10 nights with flights. Clean, comfortable hotels a short shuttle ride or walk from the Haram. Ideal for larger families watching the budget.
4-Star Easter Umrah Packages — A popular middle ground from around £699 per person. Better locations, larger rooms and breakfast usually included. Most of our Easter bookings sit in this bracket.
5-Star Easter Umrah Packages — Premium hotels within walking distance of Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, from around £869 per person. If you want to step out of your hotel and into the courtyard of the Haram, this is the one.
Prices vary with your departure airport, travel dates and room type (single, double, triple or quad). Because Easter demand is strong, the best fares go early — booking three to six months ahead almost always saves money.

Departures from Across the UK
We arrange Easter Umrah packages with departures from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, and most other UK airports. Direct flights to Jeddah are available from London and Manchester, while good one-stop connections serve the rest of the country. If you would rather land in Madinah first and finish in Makkah, we can arrange that routing too. Many pilgrims find it a gentler way to begin the journey.
A Family Trip Your Children Will Never Forget
Umrah during the Easter break is more than a holiday. Children see the Kaaba with their own eyes, pray in the Prophet's Mosque, and walk the same ground as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We keep family bookings simple: connecting or adjoining rooms where available, quad rooms to keep costs down, and infant and child pricing on flights. Tell us the ages of your children, and we will shape the package around them. If Easter dates do not suit your family, our December Umrah packages cover the winter school holidays and offer the coolest weather of the year in Makkah.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Easter 2027 in the UK?
Easter Sunday 2027 falls on 28 March. Good Friday is 26 March and Easter Monday is 29 March. Most UK schools are closed for around two weeks from late March until mid-April, which is the ideal window for an Easter Umrah trip.
How much does an Easter Umrah package cost from the UK?
Easter Umrah packages from the UK typically start from around £549 per person for a 3-star package with flights, visa and hotels. 4-star packages start from around £699 and 5-star packages from around £869. Prices depend on your departure airport, dates and room type.
Is Easter a good time to perform Umrah?
Yes. Easter 2027 falls just after Ramadan, so Makkah and Madinah are quieter, hotel prices are lower, and the weather is comfortable at around 25°C to 35°C. Families can also travel during the school holidays without any absence from school.
How long does an Easter Umrah trip take?
Most pilgrims choose 7, 10 or 14 nights. A 7-night trip fits comfortably within the two-week Easter school holiday and typically splits four nights in Makkah and three in Madinah. Ten nights is the most popular choice for families who want a less rushed pace.
What documents do I need for Umrah at Easter?
You need a passport with at least six months' validity, an Umrah visa (which we arrange for you), and proof of the meningitis (ACWY) vaccination. We will guide you through every requirement when you book.
Can I book an Easter Umrah package on instalments?
Speak to our team about payment options. In most cases, you can secure your Easter Umrah booking with a deposit and pay the balance closer to departure. Call 0203-970-4500 for details.
