October Umrah Packages 2026

October Umrah Packages 2026 are now open for booking with Islamic Travel. Our packages start from £749 per person and include return flights from the UK, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, Umrah visa help and airport transfers. October is one of the best months for Umrah. The summer heat has passed, the crowds are smaller, and prices are lower than in Ramadan. Book early to get the best hotels and flight times. We are a London-based Islamic travel agency with ATOL protection (ATOL 12192). We have arranged Umrah trips for UK pilgrims since 2017. Our office is in Stratford, London, and our team is available on the phone seven days a week.

Why Perform Umrah in October?

October is a smart choice for three simple reasons: mild weather, fewer crowds and lower prices.

Mild weather. Daytime temperatures in Makkah sit around 30°C to 33°C in October. Nights are cooler, at about 22°C to 25°C. Madinah is a little milder again. This makes Tawaf, Sa'i and Ziyarah visits far easier than in the summer months, when the heat can reach 45°C. Elderly pilgrims and families with children feel the difference most.

Fewer crowds. October falls outside the peak seasons of Ramadan and the school summer break. The Haram is calmer. You can pray closer to the Kaaba, queues move faster and hotels have better availability.

Lower prices. Because demand is softer, flights and hotel rooms cost less. The same 5-star room that is hard to find in Ramadan is often available in October at a fair rate.

There is one more benefit for UK families. The October half-term school holiday falls in the last week of the month. Many parents use this week to take their children for Umrah without missing school. Half-term dates do get booked up first, so if you plan to travel in that week, book two to three months ahead.

What Is Included in Our October Umrah Packages?

Every October package from Islamic Travel is all-inclusive. You get:

• Return flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham and other UK airports

You can also add extras such as breakfast, the Haramain High-Speed Train between Makkah and Madinah, and rooms with a Haram view.

October Umrah Package Prices 2026

Our October prices depend on hotel star rating and length of stay. Here is a simple guide:

Prices are per person and based on shared rooms. Group and family discounts are available. If you have seen a cheaper quote elsewhere, use our Beat My Quote service and we will try to better it.

3 Star, 4 Star and 5 Star October Umrah Packages

3 Star October Umrah Packages are our most popular budget option. Hotels are clean and comfortable, and a free shuttle runs to the Haram where the walk is longer. These deals suit students, first-time pilgrims and anyone travelling on a tight budget. You can browse our full range of affordable Umrah packages to compare months and prices.

4 Star October Umrah Packages offer a middle ground. Hotels are closer to the Haram, rooms are larger, and breakfast is usually included. Most families choose this level.

5 Star October Umrah Packages place you within walking distance of the Haram. Options include the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, Swissotel Makkah and Pullman ZamZam, all under 150 metres from Masjid al-Haram. These packages suit elderly pilgrims and anyone who wants to spend maximum time in the mosque with minimum walking.

Customise Your October Umrah Package

No two pilgrims are the same, so every package can be tailored. Tell us your budget, your preferred airline, your travel dates and the hotels you like. Our agents will build a package around you. We arrange solo trips, women-only groups, wheelchair support for elderly parents and Umrah Plus holidays that add a stay in Jeddah, Taif or AlUla after your pilgrimage.

Why Book Your October Umrah with Islamic Travel?

• Honest advice. If a different month suits your budget better, we will tell you. For example, our November Umrah Packages are often a little cheaper once half-term demand has passed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is October a good month for Umrah?

Yes. October offers mild weather (around 30°C in Makkah by day), smaller crowds and lower prices than Ramadan or summer. It is one of the most comfortable months of the year for Tawaf, Sa'i and Ziyarah.

How much does an October Umrah package cost from the UK?

October Umrah packages from the UK start at £749 per person for a 7-night 3-star package with flights, hotels, visa and transfers included. 5-star packages range from £970 to £1,199 per person.

When should I book an October Umrah package?

Book two to three months in advance. Flights and hotels near the Haram sell out first, especially for the October half-term week. Early booking also locks in lower fares.

Do October packages include flights from the UK?

Yes. All our packages include return flights from major UK airports, including London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham. Direct and one-stop routes are available.

Can I travel during the October half-term with my children?

Yes. The last week of October matches the UK school half-term, and it is a popular week for family Umrah. Prices rise slightly in that week because of demand, so book early to secure family rooms.

Can women perform Umrah without a Mahram in October 2026?

Yes. Under current Saudi rules, women aged 18 and over can perform Umrah without a male guardian. We also arrange women-only Ziyarah tours led with full privacy and care.

How long is the Umrah visa valid?

Under the latest rules from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, an Umrah visa is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. You must leave Saudi Arabia before the 30 days end. Our team handles the visa process for you.
