Is Ramadan Umrah 2026 More Expensive? What You Need to Know
Ramadan is the most spiritually rewarding time to perform Umrah – and also, usually, the most expensive.
If you are planning Ramadan Umrah 2026, it’s important to understand how prices change, especially for the last 10 nights.
Short answer:
Yes, Ramadan Umrah 2026 is more expensive than regular Umrah.
Depending on your travel dates, hotel class and region, prices can increase by **40%–80%** compared to off-peak months.
1. Why Is Ramadan Umrah 2026 More Expensive?
There are three main reasons:
- Demand: Millions of pilgrims want to be in Makkah and Madinah during Ramadan, especially the last 10 nights.
- Limited hotel capacity: Good hotels close to the Haram fill quickly, so rates go up.
- Flight pressure: Seats from USA, Canada, UK & Europe to Jeddah/Madinah are heavily booked.
Because of this, airlines and hotels adjust their pricing – which directly affects package rates.
2. How Much More Does Ramadan Umrah 2026 Cost?
Compared to a regular off-peak Umrah 2026 package:
- Early Ramadan: Approximately 30–50% more expensive
- Middle of Ramadan: Around 40–60% higher than normal
- Last 10 nights: Often 60–80% higher, especially for 5★ hotels close to Haram
Example (approximate, not fixed):
If a regular 4★ Umrah 2026 package from your region costs $2,400,
a similar Ramadan package might be $3,200–$3,800,
and a last 10 nights 5★ package can reach $4,000+ or more.

4. Which Ramadan 2026 Dates Are the Most Expensive?
The **last 10 nights of Ramadan** are almost always the highest priced, because:
- Many pilgrims want to be in Makkah for Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power).
- Hotels close to the Haram are in extremely high demand.
- Group tours often focus on this period, so seats fill quickly.
If your budget is tight but you still want the blessings of Ramadan, consider:
- Travelling in the first half of Ramadan
- Choosing a 4★ hotel slightly further from the Haram (still walkable or with shuttle)
- Sharing a quad room instead of a double or triple
5. How Early Should You Book Ramadan Umrah 2026?
For **Ramadan Umrah 2026**, we recommend:
- 6–9 months before departure for last 10 nights or 5★ packages
- 4–6 months before departure for early/mid Ramadan 3★–4★ packages
Waiting until the last moment usually means:
- Higher airfares
- Fewer hotel choices, especially near Haram
- More expensive room categories left (e.g., double rooms only)
Early-bird advantage:
Booking early gives you better flight times, closer hotels, and more room types (quad/triple/double) to choose from.
6. How to Make Ramadan Umrah 2026 More Affordable
- Plan for the first half of Ramadan instead of the last 10 nights.
- Choose 4★ hotels with good shuttle/transport arrangements.
- Share with family/friends in a quad room.
- Be flexible by 1–3 days around your ideal date to catch cheaper flights.
- Book as a group (family, masjid or community) to access group rates.
