Easter 2027 falls on Sunday, 28 March. And UK school Easter holidays run from 26 March to 11 April 2027. That gives you a 16-day window for Umrah, without using a single day of annual leave.
The 1448 AH Umrah season is fully open during this period. Saudi Arabia's Umrah closure before Hajj 2027 is not expected until late April or early May. So, book early to guarantee your visa is processed in time.

Easter is one of the smartest times to perform Umrah. Thousands of UK Muslims choose this window every year, and for very good reasons.
School holidays align perfectly, no term-time absence requests needed Far fewer crowds than Ramadan, more space in the Haram for prayer and reflection
Significantly cheaper than Ramadan, and save hundreds of pounds per person. With mild weather in Makkah, late March temperatures have an average comfortable temperature of 22–32°C. Shawwal Umrah carries a great reward; the Prophet ﷺ highly encouraged it. Ideal for families, couples, and first-time pilgrims, a gentler introduction to pilgrimage
Islamic Reference: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“One Umrah to the next is expiation for the sins committed between them. And the reward of Hajj Mabrur is nothing except Paradise.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 1773 | Sahih Muslim 1349 | sunnah.com/bukhari:1773
This hadith applies to Umrah performed at any time of year, including Easter. Every Umrah you perform wipes out the sins since your last.
Easter 2027 falls in Shawwal 1448 AH, and many classical scholars encouraged Umrah in Shawwal due to its closeness to Ramadan and the continuation of that blessed season’s spirit.

Every Umrah carries a full reward from Allah. The question is which season suits your life, family, and budget. Here’s an honest comparison.
| Factor | Easter Umrah | Ramadan Umrah | October Umrah |
| Timing | Mar–Apr 2027 | Feb–Mar 2027 | Oct–Nov 2027 |
| Crowds | Moderate | Very Busy | Low |
| Price Range | ££ Mid-Range | £££ Expensive | £ Cheapest |
| Weather (Makkah) | 22–32°C Mild | 28–38°C Warm | 28–38°C Warm |
| UK School Holidays | ✅ Easter break | ❌ Term time | ✅ Half-term |
| Spiritual Reward | Very High (Shawwal) | Maximum | Very High |
| Best For | Families & first-timers | Experienced pilgrims | Budget travellers |
Easter Umrah 2027 falls in Shawwal, a blessed month that carries immense reward. Crowds are a fraction of what you experience in Ramadan, and prices are significantly lower too. If you’re a family or a first-time pilgrim, Easter is the most comfortable and practical time to go.
Ramadan Umrah is the most spiritually intense experience of the year. The Haram is full, the atmosphere is electric, and the reward is unmatched. But it comes at a higher cost and requires more patience with crowds. It suits experienced pilgrims who are prepared for that environment.
October Umrah is the most affordable window of the year. The weather is warm, crowds are at their lowest, and it aligns with the UK half-term break. If budget is your primary concern, October is worth serious consideration.
There is no wrong choice. Every step you take towards the Kaaba is accepted. Choose the season that removes the most obstacles from your path.

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj controls when Umrah visas can be issued. Every year, the Umrah season closes for a period before Hajj, and if you leave your booking too late, your visa cannot be processed in time.
The 1448 AH Umrah season is expected to open in October 2026. The Easter Umrah 2027 window runs from 26 March to 11 April 2027, comfortably within the active season. Saudi Arabia’s Umrah closure before Hajj 2027 is not expected until late April or early May, well after the Easter holiday period ends.
However, Umrah visas cannot be issued within 15 days of the Hajj season opening. That buffer is tighter than most people realise. If you are travelling in early April 2027, you need your visa processing to begin no later than mid-March.
We strongly recommend booking your Easter Umrah package at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance to guarantee everything is in order before you fly. Hajj 2027 itself is expected around 25 to 30 May 2027, subject to the moon sighting.
Book early. The process is smooth when there is time. It becomes stressful when there isn’t.
We know what matters when you’re choosing a UK Umrah travel agent. Trust, value, and real human support. Here is what sets us apart.
Easter 2027 packages fill fast. The earlier you book, the better your hotel options and prices.

Ramadan Umrah carries the highest spiritual reward but is the most expensive and crowded time of year. Easter Umrah is significantly cheaper, far less crowded, and aligns with UK school holidays, making it ideal for families, first-time pilgrims, and those on a tighter budget. Both carry immense reward from Allah.
