Hajj 2027 Dates — Plan Your Pilgrimage Early
Based on the Islamic lunar calendar, Hajj 2027 is expected to begin on approximately 14 May 2027, with the main Hajj days (8th–13th Dhul Hijjah) running from 14–19 May 2027. Please note these are estimated dates — official confirmation comes from Saudi Arabia closer to the time.

Types of Hajj Packages UK
Non-Shifting Hajj Packages
Non-shifting Hajj packages keep you in the same hotel throughout your entire stay in Makkah. This means you stay close to Masjid Al-Haram from the first day to the last without moving accommodation during the core Hajj days.
- Accommodation: 4-star or 5-star hotels within walking distance of Masjid Al-Haram.
- During Hajj Days: You return to your permanent Makkah hotel each evening after rituals.
- Mina & Arafat: VIP European tents with air conditioning, proper bedding, and catering.
- Best for: Elderly pilgrims, families with children, and those with mobility considerations.
- Price range: From £5,499 per person (4-star) to £6,999+ (5-star).
Shifting Hajj Packages
Shifting packages move you between two locations in Makkah — a hotel in a central area for most of your stay, then temporary Aziziyah apartments during the core Hajj days. This is the most popular type of cheap Hajj package for UK pilgrims on a budget.
- Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotels / apartments in the Aziziyah district.
- During Hajj Days: Temporary accommodation in Aziziyah, closer to Mina.
- Mina & Arafat: Standard tented accommodation with shared facilities.
- Best for: Budget-conscious pilgrims, younger pilgrims, and those seeking a traditional community experience.
- Price range: From £3,499 per person (3-star) to £4,499 (4-star)

What is the difference between shifting and non-shifting Hajj packages?
In a non-shifting Hajj package, you stay in the same hotel close to Masjid Al-Haram throughout your entire trip in Makkah. In a shifting package, you initially stay in an Aziziyah apartment and move temporarily during the core Hajj days. Non-shifting packages are more comfortable and convenient; shifting packages are more affordable.
What vaccinations do I need for Hajj from the UK?
The Meningococcal ACWY vaccine is mandatory for all Hajj pilgrims, including those travelling from the UK. Saudi Arabia may also recommend COVID-19, influenza, and other vaccinations. You should consult your GP at least 6–8 weeks before travel to ensure all jabs are up to date and properly certified.
Is ATOL protection important when booking Hajj packages?
Yes — ATOL (Air Travel Organiser's Licence) protection is essential when booking any Hajj package that includes flights from the UK. It means your money is financially protected if the travel company ceases trading. Islamic Travel Agency is fully ATOL-protected. Always check any Hajj provider's ATOL number before booking.
Can I book a Hajj package for 2027 now?
Yes. We are currently accepting early registrations for Hajj packages 2027. Booking early is strongly recommended as the UK Hajj quota is limited by the Saudi government. Early bookers also benefit from the best hotel availability (closest to the Haram) and lower prices before demand increases.
Do I need a separate Hajj visa?
Yes. A Hajj visa is different from a standard Saudi tourist visa and is required by all pilgrims performing Hajj. Islamic Travel Agency handles your Hajj visa application as part of the package service. You will need a valid passport, vaccination certificate, passport photos, and your Nusuk registration confirmation.
What is Nusuk registration for Hajj?
Nusuk is the official Saudi government platform that all pilgrims must register through to receive permission to perform Hajj. Islamic Travel Agency handles your Nusuk registration as part of your Hajj package. Attempting Hajj without a valid Nusuk registration is not permitted by Saudi authorities.
Why should I book early for Hajj 2027?
Booking early for Hajj 2027 guarantees your place within the UK's annual Hajj quota, secures hotels closest to Masjid Al-Haram (which fill up first), locks in current pricing before increases, and gives you more time to prepare spiritually, physically, and practically for the pilgrimage.
Which UK airports do you depart from for Hajj?
We arrange Hajj flights from London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick (LGW), Manchester Airport (MAN), Birmingham Airport (BHX), and Glasgow Airport (GLA) on selected packages. All flights travel to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED), Saudi Arabia.
