May Umrah Packages

Looking for May Umrah packages 2027 from the UK? Islamic Travel offers cheap, ATOL-protected May Umrah deals starting from just £749 per person. Every package includes return flights from the UK, your Umrah visa, 5-star hotels near the Haram in Makkah and Madinah, private transport and breakfast. As a trusted Islamic travel agency based in London, we have helped thousands of British pilgrims complete their Umrah since 2017. May is one of the smartest months to perform Umrah. Ramadan has passed, the crowds are smaller, hotel prices drop, and flights from London, Manchester and Birmingham cost far less than in peak season. If you want a peaceful Umrah at a fair price, May is the month for you.

Why Perform Umrah in May?

Umrah in May is cheaper and quieter than Umrah during Ramadan or the school holidays. Here is why so many UK pilgrims choose May:

• Lower prices. Hotels in Makkah and Madinah reduce their rates after Ramadan and Hajj bookings begin. This means our May Umrah deals cost hundreds of pounds less than peak dates.
• Smaller crowds. You can perform Tawaf and Sa'i with more space and pray closer to the Kaaba. Getting into Riyad ul Jannah in Madinah is also much easier.
• Half-term option. The late May school half-term is perfect for families who want to travel without taking children out of school.
• Shorter queues everywhere. From airport transfers to hotel check-in, everything moves faster in May.

May is one of the best months for Umrah because prices are low, crowds are small, and families can use the late May half-term break.

5 Star Hotels Near the Haram

Your hotel matters. After a long day of worship, you want a clean, comfortable room only a short walk from the mosque. That is why our May Umrah packages use trusted 5 star hotels in both holy cities.

In Makkah, we book hotels within walking distance of Masjid al Haram, many with views of the Kaaba or the Clock Tower. You can walk to every prayer without needing a taxi or shuttle bus.

In Madinah, your hotel sits close to Masjid an Nabawi, so you can easily reach the Prophet's Mosque (PBUH) for all five daily prayers and spend quiet time in this blessed city.

If you prefer a 3 star or 4 star hotel to lower the cost, just tell us. Every package can be customised to fit your budget.

Weather in Makkah and Madinah in May

May is warm in Saudi Arabia. Daytime temperatures in Makkah usually reach 38 to 42°C, while Madinah is slightly cooler at around 36 to 40°C. Early mornings and evenings are pleasant, which is when most pilgrims perform Tawaf and visit the Ziyarat sites.

Our simple advice for Umrah in May:

• Drink plenty of water and Zamzam throughout the day
• Perform Tawaf after Isha or before Fajr when it is cooler
• Use an umbrella for shade when walking outdoors
• Wear light, loose clothing outside of Ihram

The Haram in Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi are both air-conditioned, so you will stay comfortable during prayer.
