More Information
Why April Is a Smart Month for Umrah
April is one of the best value windows in the Umrah calendar, for 3 clear reasons. It falls right after Ramadan, so the crowds that fill Al-Masjid al-Haram during the holy month have eased and fares fall back from the Ramadan peak. The weather is still mild — the last comfortable month before the summer heat. And the UK Easter school holidays land in early April, so families can travel together without taking children out of school.
Where April Falls in the Islamic Calendar
April sits in a clear, unrestricted part of the Umrah year. In 2026, Ramadan ends around 19 March, so the whole of April 2026 falls in Shawwal and Dhul-Qadah — after Eid al-Fitr and well before the Hajj season. In 2027, Ramadan ends around 9 March, so April 2027 is again fully post-Ramadan. Because Hajj falls in Dhul-Hijjah (around June in both years), April is comfortably ahead of the Umrah-visa Hajj-season cut-off, so Umrah visas and the Nusuk platform stay fully open. In short, you can perform Umrah in April 2026 or April 2027 without the Ramadan crowds or the Hajj-season restrictions.
April Weather in Makkah and Madinah
April is late spring in Saudi Arabia, the last mild month before summer. Daytime temperatures in Makkah average 32-37°C (90-99°F), and Madinah is a little cooler at 28-32°C (82-90°F). Nights stay warm at 20-24°C (68-75°F). April is hotter than the winter months but well below the 45°C (113°F) summer peak, so carry sunscreen, a refillable water bottle and a sun hat for daytime Tawaf.
April Crowds and Prices: What to Expect
April demand drops sharply once Ramadan ends, so it is both quieter and cheaper than the holy month. Hotel rates and flights ease back toward off-peak levels, and a 7-night April package starts from £699 per person — well below the Ramadan, Easter-peak and summer rates. The one busier spell is the early-April Easter school-holiday week, when UK family demand briefly lifts prices, so book that window early. For the holy-month departures, see our the Ramadan window.
April and the UK Easter School Holidays
The UK Easter school holidays fall in early April, which makes it the most popular family Umrah window of spring. Easter Sunday is 5 April 2026 and 28 March 2027, so the school break overlaps early April in both years, and a 7 or 10-night package fits neatly inside it without missing school. See our Easter holidays and family-friendly Umrah.
Best Ziyarat Sites to Visit in April
April's mild spring weather makes it one of the best months for guided Ziyarat — the tours of historical Islamic sites — before the summer heat arrives. Every April package includes guided Ziyarat in both holy cities. In and around Makkah you visit Jabal al-Nour (the Cave of Hira), the Cave of Thawr, Jabal Arafat, Mina and Jannat al-Mualla, and a day trip to Taif can be added when its famous roses bloom in April. In Madinah the tour covers Masjid Quba (the first mosque in Islam), Masjid al-Qiblatain, Mount Uhud and Jannat al-Baqi. For the rituals themselves — entering Ihram, performing Tawaf around the Kaaba and Sa'i between Safa and Marwah — an English-speaking guide assists you on arrival at Al-Masjid al-Haram.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is April a good month for Umrah?
Yes. April is one of the best value months, falling right after Ramadan when the Haram is quieter and fares drop, on the last mild weather before summer, with the Easter holidays for families.
Can I perform Umrah in April 2026 and April 2027?
Yes. April falls in Shawwal and Dhul-Qadah in both years — after Ramadan and before the Hajj season — so Umrah visas and the Nusuk platform are fully open with no Hajj-season restrictions.
Are April Umrah packages cheaper than Ramadan?
Yes. Once Ramadan ends, around 19 March 2026 and 9 March 2027, demand falls sharply, so April packages start from £699 per person, well below the Ramadan and Easter-week peaks.
Is April the cheapest month for Umrah?
April is one of the cheapest months but not the single cheapest — the quietest mid-winter weeks can be lower. April's value comes from the post-Ramadan price drop combined with mild weather, from £699 per person.
What is the weather like for Umrah in April?
April is late spring in Saudi Arabia. Makkah averages 32-37°C in the day, Madinah is cooler at 28-32°C, and nights stay warm at 20-24°C, hotter than winter but below the summer peak.
Is April less crowded than other months for Umrah?
Yes. April falls just after the Ramadan peak, so the Haram is much quieter than Ramadan and the winter holidays, apart from a short rise during the early-April Easter week.
Are April Umrah packages good for families during Easter?
Yes. The UK Easter school holidays fall in early April, so families can travel without missing school. A 7 or 10-night package fits the break.
Which Ziyarat sites are best to visit in April?
April's mild weather suits the outdoor sites. In Makkah, Jabal al-Nour (Cave of Hira), Jabal Arafat and Mina; in Madinah, Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud and Jannat al-Baqi. A Taif day trip is popular in April when the roses bloom. Guided Ziyarat is included in both cities.
How much does an April Umrah package cost?
An April Umrah package costs from £699 per person for 3-star, £749 for 4-star and £899 for 5-star, including flights, visa, hotels and transfers.
When should I book my April Umrah package?
Book 2 to 4 months ahead for April, and earlier for the Easter-holiday week, which fills fastest and carries the highest April prices.
Do I need a Mahram to perform Umrah in April?
No. Since 2022, women can perform Umrah without a Mahram in any month, including April, travelling alone or in a group. See our women's Umrah packages for details.
Can I use a Saudi tourist eVisa for Umrah in April?
Yes. The Saudi tourist eVisa is valid for Umrah year-round, including April, and most UK pilgrims use it or the Electronic Visa Waiver. See our Umrah visa guide for the full requirements.
Which UK airports offer April Umrah departures?
We arrange April departures from London, Manchester and Birmingham, with connecting options from Bradford (Leeds Bradford), Glasgow and other UK airports.
How much spending money should I take for an April Umrah trip?
As a guide, allow around £30 to £50 per day for meals, local transport and Zamzam water on a room-only package, plus extra for gifts — roughly £300 to £500 for a 10-night April trip.
Are April Umrah packages ATOL protected?
Yes. Every flight-inclusive April Umrah package is ATOL protected, so your money and return flight are financially secured.
