October Half Term Umrah PackagesFree written quoteflight, hotels and the total, before you pay
October half-term in England usually falls in the last week of October; in 2027 many councils expect it to start on about 25 October. A 7-night Umrah fits the break with one or two days of leave, and 10 nights or more need extra time off. Prices for half-term are on request until airlines and hotels release their 2027 rates; our October prices, from £615, are a guide.
October half-term is one of the most popular times for UK families to perform Umrah: the heat of summer has passed and the children are off school. This page explains the 2027 dates, the weather, how each package length fits the break and how we price it.

Umrah in the autumn school break, when Makkah starts to cool and families can travel together.
Each council sets its own term dates, but in England half-term usually covers the last week of October. For 2027, many councils expect the break to start on about Monday 25 October. Scottish schools have their October week earlier in the month, and Welsh dates can differ, so check your council's calendar.
A 7-night trip leaving on the Friday or Saturday the break begins fits it with one or two days of leave. Longer packages need extra days off school or work.
Makkah is still hot in late October, with daytime highs usually in the high 30s °C, but noticeably cooler than in summer. Madinah is a little cooler. Plan tawaf for the evening and keep children out of the midday sun.
Half-term is busy, so flights and hotels near the Haram cost more than in a quiet week. We quote half-term dates individually until the 2027 rates are released. As a guide, our October packages start from £615 per person in a quad room.
Flights in school holidays fill first. Enquire early, and send us your school's dates so we can match the flights to the break.
