September Umrah Packages

September Umrah packages are Umrah trips from the UK in the first term-time month after the summer holidays: any date, at year-round prices, with flights, both hotels and transfers in a single ATOL-protected price. A week costs from £500 per adult with four sharing on Economy, and longer stays cost less per night, up to 21 nights from £780.

AFTER THE SUMMER

Is September a Good Time for Umrah?

Yes, if you are not tied to school holidays: children in England and Wales are back in class from the first days of September, so the whole month sells at our year-round prices and any date can be booked. It is still hot, and it suits pilgrims who put flexibility and price ahead of cool weather.

Retired couples, working pilgrims with leave to use, parents of pre-school children and first-timers who would rather avoid the holiday rush all travel in September.

Is Umrah open?Yes, all month.
Islamic monthsRabi' al-Awwal 1449, then Rabi' al-Thani from about 2 September.
UK school holidaysTerm time: schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland go back in the first days of September, and Scottish schools have been back since mid-August.

SEPTEMBER WEATHER

How Hot Is Makkah in September?

Still summer: Makkah averages 43°C by day and 29°C at night in September, and Madinah 42°C and 29°C. The real change comes in October, when Makkah's afternoons drop to 40°C and Madinah's to 37°C, so the later in September you go, the closer you are to the cooler season. Keep Tawaf and Sa'i for the night and the hours after Fajr.

From £500 per adult with four sharing for seven Economy nights, £560 for ten and £640 for fourteen, on any September date. A double room for two on the Economy week costs £750 each.

Three weeks cost from £780 per adult with four sharing on Economy and £795 on 3 Star, and eighteen 4 Star nights with half board from £815. Shorter trips are on 7-day Umrah tours, 10-day Umrah tours and two week Umrah deals.

BEFORE YOU GO

What Are the Important Things to Arrange for a September Umrah?

Five things: a valid passport, the meningitis ACWY vaccination, travel insurance and clothing for the heat. The Saudi visa cost is included in your Umrah package price. We do not sell visas separately, and visa approval is decided by the Saudi authorities; Saudi entry rules for Umrah pilgrims explains the requirements for your passport.

  • A passport valid for at least six months from the day you travel.
  • The Saudi visa cost is included in your Umrah package price. We do not sell visas separately, and visa approval is decided by the Saudi authorities.
  • A meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate.
  • Travel insurance that covers cancellation; we do not sell insurance.
  • Ihram for men, loose modest clothing for women, sandals and unscented toiletries.
LUXURY UMRAH

Can You Book a Luxury Umrah Package in September?

Yes. Our Luxury tier costs from £1,385 per adult with four sharing for ten nights and £1,635 for fourteen, with full board, a private luxury vehicle, a private Umrah guide and a scholar on both lengths. In September those prices apply on any date, which makes it the month to book the top tier without a holiday supplement. What every tier includes is compared on inclusive Umrah deals.

SEPTEMBER OR ANOTHER MONTH?

Is September Cheaper Than August or the October Half-Term?

Yes: August and the October half-term week are school-holiday dates, priced for those dates, while every September date is sold at the year-round price. October outside the half-term costs the same as September and is cooler. For the busiest season of the year see Ramadan Umrah from London and Manchester, and for spring planning Umrah and the Easter holidays.

FLIGHTS AND TRANSFERS

Are September Umrah Flights Direct or Indirect?

Either, and you choose. Saudia is the only airline flying direct from the UK, to Jeddah, from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, and from Birmingham on selected dates; there is no direct flight to Madinah, and every other UK airport connects through a hub. Connecting routes through a hub usually cost less. Road transfers are included; the Haramain high-speed train between Makkah and Madinah can be quoted as an upgrade.

FIRST-TIME PILGRIMS

Is There a Guided Umrah for First-Time Pilgrims in September?

Yes. Every tier includes guidance, from an e-guide to a scholar, and a guided group can be arranged in September for mosques, families or friends. Ziyarat in both cities is included from the 10-night 4 Star package upwards. Plan a group with mosque Umrah trips. Women aged 18 and over do not need a Mahram for Umrah: see women's Umrah. Children's prices are on family Umrah 2027.

BOOKING AND PROTECTION

How Do You Book, and Who Are You Booking With?

£50 per person holds your booking and is part of the price; 50% of the price is due within 24 hours, and the balance 20 days before departure. Every package with flights is protected by ATOL 74904. Cancellations are made in writing by the lead passenger, and the booking terms apply: see Insha Travel booking terms.
