June Umrah Packages from UKFree written quoteflight, hotels and the total, before you pay
June 2027 is expected to be the start of the new Umrah season after Hajj, which falls in mid-May 2027. In 2026 Saudi Arabia resumed Umrah visas on 31 May, and the 1449 dates are still to be announced. Islamic New Year is expected on about 6 June 2027 and Ashura on about 15 June. Our June packages run 7 to 14 nights with 3★ to 5★ hotels, flights and visa, quoted in writing.
June sits between Hajj and the UK summer holidays. For pilgrims who can travel outside school dates, it is usually one of the calmer times of the summer: the Hajj crowds have gone home and most families have not yet arrived. The heat is the main challenge. This page covers when Umrah is expected to reopen, the Islamic dates that fall in June 2027, how each package length works in the heat and why June is quoted indiv

Umrah in the first weeks after Hajj, when the new Islamic year begins and the Haram is quieter than in the school holidays.
International Umrah pauses for several weeks around Hajj. Hajj 1448 is expected in mid-May 2027, with the Day of Arafah on about 15 May. In 2026 Saudi Arabia resumed issuing Umrah visas on 31 May, so a similar timetable would put early June 2027 at the very start of the new season.
The 1449 season dates have not yet been announced. We confirm them on your written quote before you pay.
Muharram 1449, the first month of the Islamic year, is expected to begin on about Sunday 6 June 2027. The day of Ashura, 10 Muharram, is expected on about 15 June. Many pilgrims choose these dates to fast Ashura with the day before or after while in the Haram.
Both dates depend on the sighting of the moon. If a specific date matters to you, tell us when you enquire and we will build the flights around it with a day's margin.
June is hot: Makkah's average highs are in the low to mid 40s °C and Madinah is similar. The mosques are air-conditioned, and Zamzam coolers are throughout both, but the walk to the Haram is hard in the middle of the day.
Crowds are usually moderate. Visitors from the Gulf and further afield start arriving later in the summer, and UK schools in England are still in term, so early and mid June are among the quieter weeks of the year to travel.
June suits couples, retired pilgrims and anyone who is free outside school holidays, as well as Scottish families once their schools break up at the end of the month. For families tied to English school dates, see our July and August pages or the summer holiday packages.
Hotels and airlines release their rates for the new season once its dates are confirmed. Until then we do not publish a price we cannot stand behind; each June enquiry gets a written quote with the flight, both named hotels and the total before you pay.
We expect so. Umrah pauses around Hajj, expected in mid-May 2027, and in 2026 visas resumed on 31 May. The 1449 season dates are not yet announced; we confirm them on your quote before you pay.
Muharram 1449 is expected to begin on about 6 June 2027, with Ashura on about 15 June. Both depend on moon sighting.
Average highs are in the low to mid 40s °C. The mosques are air-conditioned, so most pilgrims do tawaf at night or early in the morning and rest in the afternoon.
Usually less busy than July and August. Hajj crowds have left and English schools are still in term for most of the month.
