January Umrah Packages from the UK

January is one of the best months to perform Umrah. The weather in Makkah and Madinah is cool and pleasant, the school holiday rush is over, and prices drop after the busy December period. That is why so many British Muslims choose January for their journey. At Islamic Travel, we arrange complete January Umrah packages from the UK. Every package includes your return flights, hotel stay, Saudi Umrah visa and ground transport between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah. You book once, and we handle the rest. As a trusted UK travel agency, we have helped thousands of pilgrims travel from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford and other UK cities. We know the hotels, we know the routes, and we know what makes a smooth, stress-free Umrah.

Why Choose Umrah in January?

Here are the main reasons pilgrims pick January:

• Cool weather. Daytime temperatures in Makkah sit around 20–25°C. You can perform Tawaf and Sa'i in comfort, without the heat of summer.
• Lower prices. January falls outside the peak Ramadan and school holiday seasons, so flights and hotels cost less. It is one of the cheapest times of year to go.
• Smaller crowds. The Haram is quieter than in Ramadan or December. You get more space, shorter waits and a calmer atmosphere for worship.
• Better hotel choice. With fewer visitors, rooms close to the Haram are easier to book, even at short notice.

What Is Included in Our January Umrah Packages?

Every January, an Umrah package from Islamic Travel includes:

• Return flights from a UK airport of your choice
• Saudi Umrah visa processing
• Hotel accommodation in Makkah and Madinah
• Private or shared transfers between Jeddah airport, Makkah and Madinah
• Support from our UK-based team before and during your trip
• Guidance on Umrah rituals for first-time pilgrims

You can choose 3 star, 4 star or 5 star umrah packages depending on your budget. Our 5 star options include hotels within walking distance of Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, such as those in the Clock Tower area. Our 3 star packages keep costs low whilst still offering clean, comfortable rooms with shuttle access to the Haram.

How Much Does a January Umrah Package Cost?

A January Umrah package from the UK typically starts from around £850 per person for a 3 star package with shared rooms. A 4 star package usually costs between £1,100 and £1,400 per person. A 5 star package with hotels near the Haram starts from around £1,700 per person.

Prices depend on four things: your departure airport, hotel distance from the Haram, room type and how many nights you stay. A 7-night package costs less than a 14-night one, and sharing a quad room costs less than a private double.

Call us or send an enquiry for today's exact prices. Because we work directly with airlines and hotels in Saudi Arabia, we can often match or beat quotes from other UK agents. If you are looking for cheap Umrah packages from the UK without cutting corners on quality, January is the month to book.

Which UK Airports Do You Fly From?

We arrange Umrah packages from London (Heathrow and Gatwick), Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Direct flights are available from London and Manchester, and connecting flights through the Gulf often cost less.

Wherever you live in the UK, we can build a package around your nearest airport.

Can I Book a Group or Family Package?

Yes. We arrange group Umrah packages for families, friends and community groups. Group bookings often qualify for lower per-person prices, and we can arrange rooms next to each other, shared transport and a guided itinerary.

Travelling with elderly parents or young children? Tell us when you enquire. We will suggest hotels with lift access close to the Haram and keep transfers short and simple.

Is January a Good Time for First-Time Pilgrims?

Yes. Many of our customers performing Umrah for the first time choose January. The cooler weather and smaller crowds make the rituals easier to complete calmly. Our team provides a step-by-step Umrah guide, and we are available by phone and WhatsApp throughout your trip if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the weather like in Makkah in January?

January is one of the coolest months in Saudi Arabia. Makkah is usually 20–25°C during the day and around 15°C at night. Madinah is cooler, sometimes dropping to 10°C in the evening, so pack a light jacket.

How long should I stay for Umrah in January?

Most pilgrims choose 7, 10 or 14 nights. A 7-night trip is enough to perform Umrah and visit the main sites. A 10 or 14-night stay gives you more time for worship in both Makkah and Madinah.

Do January Umrah packages include the visa?

Yes. All our packages include Saudi Umrah visa processing. We handle the application for you — you only need to send us your passport details and a photo.

Are January Umrah packages cheaper than December?

Yes, usually. December is a peak month because of UK school holidays. Prices drop in January once the holiday season ends, which makes it excellent value. If your dates fall later in the winter, our February Umrah packages offer similar low prices and mild weather.

Can I combine Makkah and Madinah in one package?

Yes. Every package includes stays in both cities, with transport between them arranged for you. Most pilgrims split their nights between Makkah and Madinah.

Is it safe to travel for Umrah in January?

Yes. Millions of pilgrims perform Umrah every year, and January is a calm, well-organised time to travel. Our UK team supports you at every step, and help is available throughout your stay.
