Why Perform Umrah in March 2027?
There are three simple reasons why March is one of the most popular months for Umrah:
The end of Ramadan. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February and end in early March, with Eid al-Fitr expected around 9 or 10 March 2027 (dates depend on the moon sighting). This means the last ten nights of Ramadan are the most rewarding nights of the year, which fall in the first days of March. The Prophet (PBUH) said that Umrah in Ramadan is equal in reward to Hajj (Bukhari and Muslim).
Eid al-Fitr in Makkah. Pilgrims travelling in early March 2027 can pray Eid al-Fitr in Masjid al-Haram. Praying Eid with millions of Muslims at the Kaaba is a moment most people remember for the rest of their lives.
Pleasant weather. March is one of the most comfortable months to visit Saudi Arabia. Daytime temperatures in Makkah are usually between 24°C and 33°C, and Madinah is slightly cooler. Tawaf, Sa'i and Ziyarat visits are much easier than in the summer months, when temperatures can pass 40°C.

Prices are per person and based on shared rooms. Ramadan dates in early March cost more because demand is at its peak. Travel after Eid, from mid-March onwards, is cheaper and much quieter. If prices for your dates are high, tell us your budget, and we will try to beat any written quote you have, which is our Beat My Quote promise.
What Is Included in Our March Umrah Packages?

Weather in Makkah and Madinah in March
March sits between the mild winter and the hot summer, which makes it a comfortable month for the physical parts of Umrah.
- Makkah: around 24°C to 33°C during the day, cooler at night
- Madinah: around 20°C to 30°C, with cool and pleasant evenings
Light cotton clothing is best. Bring comfortable sandals, sun cream and a refillable water bottle. An umbrella is useful for shade during daytime Ziyarat visits.
When Should You Book a March Umrah Package?
Book 3 to 6 months in advance for the best prices, ideally between September and December. Early March 2027 falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, so flights and hotels sell out quickly and cost more. If you have a smaller budget, travel from mid-March onwards, after Eid al-Fitr, when hotel rates drop, and the Haram is quieter.
If your dates are flexible, it is worth comparing our April Umrah Packages as well. April prices are usually lower than Ramadan prices, and the weather is still comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a March Umrah package cost from the UK?
March Umrah packages 2027 start from £649 per person for 7 nights with flights, hotels and visa included. Prices rise to around £1,099 for 14 nights in 5-star hotels. Ramadan dates in early March cost more than dates after Eid.
Does Ramadan fall in March 2027?
Yes, partly. Ramadan 2027 is expected to run from around 8 February to early March, with Eid al-Fitr expected around 9 or 10 March 2027. Exact dates depend on the moon sighting. Pilgrims travelling in the first week of March can catch the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Is Umrah in Ramadan equal to Hajj?
The Prophet (PBUH) said that performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal in reward to performing Hajj with him (Bukhari and Muslim). This is why early March 2027 is the most popular — and the busiest — time to travel.
What documents do I need for a March Umrah?
You need a passport valid for at least six months, an Umrah visa, and proof of the mandatory Meningococcal ACWY vaccination taken at least 10 days before travel. Our team handles the visa application for you as part of the package.
Can women perform Umrah without a Mahram in 2027?
Yes. Under current Saudi rules, Muslim women aged 18 and over can perform Umrah without a Mahram. Many women choose to travel with one of our guided groups for extra comfort and support.
When is the cheapest time to travel in March 2027?
Mid to late March, after Eid al-Fitr, is the cheapest part of the month. Hotels and flights drop in price once Ramadan ends, and the Haram is far less crowded.
How long can I stay in Saudi Arabia on an Umrah visa?
An Umrah visa allows a stay of up to 30 days. You can also visit other cities such as Jeddah, Taif or AlUla during your stay — you are not limited to Makkah and Madinah.
