Key Easter 2027 dates for Umrah
Here are the dates to plan around:
- Good Friday 2027: 26 March 2027
- Easter Sunday 2027: 28 March 2027
- UK school Easter break: typically late March to early April 2027 (exact dates vary by local council, so check your child's school calendar)
- Ramadan 2027: roughly 8 February to 8 March 2027
- Eid al-Fitr 2027: around 9–11 March 2027
Because Easter 2027 falls a couple of weeks after Ramadan and Eid, you avoid the busiest and dearest season. You still get the school holidays and the pleasant spring weather, without the peak crowds.
Why perform Umrah during the Easter holidays?
Travel as a family without missing school. The Easter break means your children don't have to take unauthorised absence, and you don't have to use up all your annual leave. Pair the days with the bank holidays and you get a longer trip for fewer days off work.
Comfortable spring weather. Late March in Makkah and Madinah is warm but manageable, far easier than the summer heat. That makes walking to and from the Haram much kinder on older relatives and young children.
Quieter than Ramadan. Ramadan Umrah is the busiest and dearest season of the year. By Easter, the peak has passed, so the mosques are calmer and prices tend to settle.
Better value. Easter packages are usually more affordable than Ramadan or Hajj-season travel, which helps if you're bringing several members of the family. If budget is your priority, take a look at our Cheap Umrah Packages for the full range of low-cost options.
A meaningful way to spend the holidays. While much of the country is off for Easter, you can use the time for a spiritual journey with your loved ones.

Frequently asked questions
When is Easter 2027?
Easter Sunday 2027 falls on 28 March 2027, with Good Friday on 26 March. Most UK schools break up from late March to early April, though exact dates vary by local council.
Is Easter a good time to perform Umrah?
Yes. The school holidays let families travel together, the spring weather is mild, and because Easter 2027 comes after Ramadan and Eid, it's calmer and usually cheaper than the peak season.
What's included in an Easter Umrah package?
Our packages include return flights from the UK, full visa and Nusuk processing, hotels near the Haram in Makkah and Madinah, all transfers, guided Ziyarat, meals and 24/7 UK support.
How much does an Easter Umrah package cost?
All-inclusive Easter Umrah packages start from £477 per person. The final price depends on your hotel standard, number of nights and departure airport. Call 0208 178 8400 for a live quote.
Which UK airports do you fly from?
We arrange flights from major UK airports including London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle and Edinburgh, with direct and connecting options.
Do I need a visa for Umrah, and do you arrange it?
Yes, you need an Umrah visa, and we handle the full visa processing and Nusuk registration for you as part of the package.
Can I bring my family and children?
Yes. Easter is one of the most popular times for family Umrah because it falls in the school holidays. We can arrange connecting or family rooms and build a custom family itinerary.
Is my package financially protected?
Yes. Our flight-inclusive Easter Umrah packages are ATOL protected under ATOL 12192, and we're a UK-registered company (Travixum Ltd, Company Number 13555073).
How close are the hotels to the Haram?
As a guide, our 5-star hotels sit closest to the Haram, often a few minutes' walk. 4-star hotels are a short walk or shuttle away, and 3-star hotels offer the best value for a slightly longer walk. We'll tell you the exact distance for your package.
When should I book my Easter Umrah?
As early as possible. Easter is a busy window and the hotels nearest the Haram sell out first, so booking two to three months ahead gets you the best choice and price.
Is Easter Umrah cheaper than Ramadan Umrah?
Usually, yes. Ramadan is the busiest and most expensive Umrah season, so prices peak. Easter 2027 falls after Ramadan and Eid, which means calmer crowds and better value, while you still get the school holidays.
How many days do you need for Easter Umrah?
Most Easter Umrah trips run from 7 to 14 nights. A 7 to 10-night trip suits the school break well, while 12 to 14 nights gives you more time to settle into a routine in both Makkah and Madinah.
