Why Is January a Good Time for Umrah?

Demand for Umrah from the UK drops once the New Year passes, which is why January suits so many pilgrims. Flights and hotels usually cost less than in December or Ramadan, the holy cities are calmer, and the cooler weather makes the walking easier. That matters most if you are travelling for the first time, or bringing children and older relatives with you.

• Fares and hotel rates are usually lower in January than in December, Easter or Ramadan, because travel demand falls after the festive period.
• Crowds are lighter, so Tawaf and Sa'i involve shorter waits and fewer interruptions.
• January is the coolest part of the year in both cities, which means less fatigue for children and elderly pilgrims.

What Is the Weather Like in Makkah and Madinah in January?

January is the coolest part of the year in both cities. Makkah sits at approx. 29°C to 30°C during the day and falls to approx. 17°C overnight. Madinah is at a higher elevation and cooler still, with daytime highs of approx. 25°C and nights that can drop to approx. 8°C to 10°C. Days are comfortable enough for Tawaf and Sa'i. Pack layers for early mornings and evenings, particularly in Madinah.

How Does January Compare with December and Ramadan?

December Umrah packages fall inside the UK school holidays, so demand and prices peak. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting, and carries the highest demand and hotel rates of the year. January sits between the two: quieter, cheaper, and with wider hotel choice near Masjid al-Haram. If travelling during the holy month itself matters most to you, see our Ramadan Umrah packages 2027. If cost and space matter more, January usually works better.

January Umrah Flights from the UK

Return flights are included in every package. Direct flights to Jeddah take approx. 6 to 7 hours. Connecting flights with one stop usually cost less.

Is January a good time for Umrah?

Yes. January falls outside the Ramadan and December peaks, so the holy cities are quieter and packages are generally better value. Makkah daytime temperatures of approx. 29°C to 30°C are the coolest of the year, which makes Tawaf and Sa'i more comfortable, particularly for families and elderly pilgrims. Bear in mind that most of January is UK school term time.

Can families and elderly pilgrims travel for Umrah in January?

Yes. There is no age limit for Umrah, so children, parents and grandparents can travel together, and packages priced on four sharing suit a family of four. January's cooler weather and lighter crowds help as well. Tell us about any mobility or accessibility needs when you enquire so we can plan suitable hotels and transfers.

When should I book a January 2027 Umrah package?

Two to four months ahead, ideally by October or November 2026, for the widest choice of flights and hotels at better rates. Hotels close to Masjid al-Haram fill first, so booking early matters most at 4-star and 5-star level.

How much do I need to pay to secure a January 2027 Umrah package in advance?

You can secure your January 2027 booking with a deposit of £100 per person, then pay the balance before departure. Call our team on 0203 930 8114 to arrange your booking.
