January Umrah Packages 2026 from the UK

January Umrah packages from the UK offer excellent value, with 2026 prices starting from just £549 per person for 7 nights. January falls outside the main Ramadan and Hajj peak periods, meaning the Haramain are significantly less crowded than at other times of year. This makes January an ideal choice for first-time pilgrims, elderly travellers and those who prefer a more peaceful and contemplative Umrah experience without the intense crowds of Ramadan.

The weather in Makkah and Madinah in January is pleasantly mild, with daytime temperatures typically between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius — considerably cooler than the summer months when temperatures can exceed 45 degrees. This makes walking between your hotel and the Haram much more comfortable. Dream Fare offers January Umrah packages from London, Manchester, Birmingham and all major UK departure cities.

Travel Tips for January Umrah Packages 2026

Best Month for First-Time Pilgrims

January is ideal for those performing Umrah for the first time. The smaller crowds make it easier to learn the rituals, find your way around the Haramain and spend meaningful time in worship without feeling overwhelmed.

Mild and Comfortable Weather

January temperatures in Makkah are typically 20-28°C — perfect for walking between the hotel and Haram. Pack a light layer for the air-conditioned interior of Masjid al-Haram which can be quite cool.

Book Early for Best Prices

Even in the off-peak January period, the best-located hotels near the Haram sell out weeks in advance. Book at least 6-8 weeks before your intended departure date for the best combination of price and hotel location.

Shorter Queues at Key Sites

In January, queues to touch the Black Stone and pray at the Rawdah in Madinah are significantly shorter than during Ramadan. Take advantage of the quieter period to spend more time at significant sites.

UK Departure from Multiple Airports

January Umrah packages from the UK depart from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham and other airports. Dream Fare can find the most convenient departure point for your location.

Combine with a UK New Year

Many UK Muslims choose January Umrah as a spiritually meaningful way to start the new year. Packages departing in early January are popular and should be booked well in advance.
