Why November Is One of the Best Months for Umrah
Three things make November stand out for pilgrims travelling from the UK.
The weather is comfortable. Daytime temperatures in Makkah sit around 30–34°C, while Madinah is cooler at 25–30°C. Evenings drop to around 20°C in both cities. Tawaf and Sa'i feel far easier than in the summer months, which matters if you are travelling with children or elderly family members.
The crowds are lighter. November falls outside Ramadan, the school holidays, and the December peak. You will find shorter waits for the Haramain train, better chances of praying close to the Kaaba, and calmer conditions for reaching the Black Stone during Tawaf.
Prices drop. Airlines and hotels lower their rates between the autumn and winter peaks. A package that costs £900 or more in December can often be booked for under £700 in November. To compare rates across every month of the year, browse our full range of Umrah packages from UK departures.

Not sure which visa suits your trip? Our guide to the Umrah visa from UK explains the traditional Umrah visa, the Saudi tourist eVisa, and the Electronic Visa Waiver, so you can see which option fits British and non-British passport holders before you book.
Family and Tailor-Made November Umrah Packages
Many of our November bookings are families taking advantage of the quieter month. We arrange connecting rooms and family suites, wheelchair support for elderly pilgrims, and cots or extra beds for young children. Group bookings of ten or more receive discounted rates.
If none of the set packages fits, tell us your budget, preferred hotels, and travel dates, and we will build a tailor-made package around them. You choose the flight, the hotel distance from the Haram, and how many nights you spend in each city.
Why Book with Islamic Travel
Islamic Travel is a trusted Umrah travel agency in UK that pilgrims have relied on since 2017. Here is what stands behind every booking:
- ATOL protected (ATOL 12192). Your money is protected under UK law on all flight-inclusive packages.
- Registered with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. We are authorised to issue Umrah visas and arrange ground services in Saudi Arabia.
- A real London office. Visit us at The Old Dispensary, 30 Romford Road, Stratford, London E15 4BZ, or call 0203-970-4500.
- Experienced agents. Our team members have performed Umrah themselves and guide you through every step, from Ihram rules to booking your Rawdah slot on the Nusuk app.
When Should You Book?
Book your November Umrah 4 to 6 months in advance, ideally between May and July. Early booking secures the hotels closest to the Haram and flight fares before they rise in autumn. The second and third weeks of November are usually the quietest, so aim for those dates if avoiding crowds is your priority.
If your dates slip into the following month, our December Umrah Packages cover the winter holiday season, though prices are higher then, which is another reason November remains the smart choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a November Umrah package cost from the UK?
November Umrah packages start from £679 per person for a 7-night, 4-star trip including flights, visa, hotels, and transfers. 5-star and 14-night options range up to £949 per person.
Is November a good time to perform Umrah?
Yes. November offers mild weather of 25–34°C, smaller crowds than Ramadan or December, and some of the lowest package prices of the year, making it one of the best months for Umrah from the UK.
Do I need an Umrah visa or can I use a tourist visa?
British passport holders can perform Umrah on either an Umrah visa or a Saudi tourist eVisa. We arrange the correct visa as part of every package, so you do not need to apply separately.
