August Umrah Packages from UKFree written quoteflight, hotels and the total, before you pay
August 2027 is the busiest summer month for UK families, with English schools off for the whole month. Rabi' al-Awwal 1449 is expected to begin on about 4 August. Our August packages run 7 to 14 nights with 3★ to 5★ hotels, flights and the Umrah visa, quoted in writing for your exact dates.
August is the one month when almost every UK school is on holiday, so it is the most popular summer month for family Umrah, and flights and hotels are in high demand. It is also very hot. This page covers the dates, the heat, how to keep the cost down and why August is quoted individually.

Umrah in the heart of the summer holidays, the month UK families travel most.
English and Welsh schools are on holiday for the whole of August, and Scottish schools return in mid-August, so this is the month most UK families travel together. Families from other countries are also on holiday, which pushes up demand for hotels near the Haram.
Our guide why Umrah is more expensive in August explains how flights and hotel rates move in the summer.
Rabi' al-Awwal 1449 is expected to begin on about 4 August 2027, subject to moon sighting. In England and Wales the summer bank holiday is on Monday 30 August 2027, and many schools return in the first days of September.
Travelling in the second half of August, booking early and being flexible on the airport all help. A 3★ or 4★ hotel with a shuttle costs less than a Haram-front hotel, but in August the walk matters, so weigh the saving against the heat, especially with children or older relatives.
Average highs in Makkah and Madinah are around 43 to 44°C in August. Do tawaf and sa'i after Isha or before Fajr, rest in the afternoon and keep drinking water. The mosques are air-conditioned and Zamzam coolers are throughout both.
Hotels and airlines have not yet released all their summer 2027 rates, and the 1449 Umrah season dates are still to be announced. We quote each August enquiry in writing with the flight, both named hotels and the total before you pay.
