If Ramadan 1448 begins on about 8 February 2027, the last ten nights start on the evening of about 27 February and Eid ul-Fitr falls on about 9 or 10 March, subject to moon sighting. Our last-ten-nights packages run 7 to 14 nights with 3★, 4★ or 5★ hotels, flights and the Umrah visa. These dates have their own prices, so we quote each one in writing.
The last ten nights are the most sought-after days of the whole Umrah year. Pilgrims come for the odd nights, when Laylat al-Qadr is hoped for, for long qiyam prayers in the Haram, and for the completion of the Quran in the final nights. This page is for UK pilgrims who want to be in Makkah and Madinah for that stretch rather than the whole month. It covers the expected 2027 dates, how each package length lines up wi

Umrah timed for the last ten nights of Ramadan 2027, the nights in which Laylat al-Qadr is sought.
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on about Monday 8 February 2027, according to the UAE Astronomy Centre's projection, with the start confirmed only by moon sighting. On that basis the 21st night, the first of the last ten, begins at sunset on about Saturday 27 February 2027.
The odd nights then fall on about 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March, with the 27th night on the evening of about Friday 5 March. Eid ul-Fitr is expected on about 9 or 10 March. A one-day shift either way is normal, so we build your flights with that in mind and confirm once the month is announced.
Every package is Makkah first, then Madinah, unless you ask us to reverse it. Typical shapes we quote:
Many pilgrims want the 27th night in Makkah. With the standard order, the 10, 12 and 14-night shapes place it in Madinah, so tell us when you enquire and we will price a Madinah-first or extra-Makkah version.
Hotel rooms near the Haram reach their highest rates of the year in the last ten nights, and flights from the UK in late February are also in high demand. We do not publish a fixed price for these dates. Instead we quote each enquiry in writing with the actual flight, both named hotels and the total, before you pay anything.
If you want a guide to the general level, our Ramadan 2027 packages show prices for the month as a whole. The last ten nights normally cost more than the earlier part of the month.
Saudi Arabia has set the following dates for the 1448 Umrah season (as reported in May 2026): Umrah visas can be issued until 9 March 2027, pilgrims can enter until 23 March 2027 and must leave by 7 April 2027. Every last-ten-nights package travels well inside those dates.
Your visa is applied for after you book, so allow time. We need a passport valid for at least six months, a photo and, for each traveller, a meningitis ACWY certificate.
In Ramadan we use a separate hotel list, because rooms closest to the mosques sell out first. For 3★ packages the Makkah hotel is Emaar Al Khalil, about 700 m to 1 km from the Haram, with Emaar Taiba or Odst in Madinah. For 4★ it is Voco Makkah, about 2 km away with a shuttle, and Saja Al Madinah. For 5★ it is Anjum Hotel, about 500 m from the Haram, and Sofitel Shahd Madinah, about 150 m from the Prophet's Mosque.
In the final nights the Haram's prayer areas often fill hours before Isha and Taraweeh. A closer hotel saves energy, which is why many families who can afford it choose 5★ for these dates.
The last ten nights bring some of the largest crowds of the year. Expect closed gates, prayer on the outer squares and long walks back to the hotel after Taraweeh. Plan to reach the Haram early and keep water with you.
I'tikaf in the two mosques follows rules set each year by the authorities, so check the latest announcement before planning to stay in the mosque. Rawdah visits in Madinah need a permit booked in the Nusuk app, and Ramadan slots go quickly, so try to book as soon as your dates are fixed.
If you mainly want a peaceful, unhurried Umrah, the last ten nights are not that. Our Eid ul-Fitr packages start around Eid, when crowds begin to fall, and the winter months from January are calmer still.
Older pilgrims and young children can find the night-time crowds tiring. If they are travelling, a shorter stay or a hotel close to the mosque makes a real difference.
If Ramadan begins on about 8 February 2027, the last ten nights begin at sunset on about 27 February and run until Eid ul-Fitr, expected on about 9 or 10 March. The 27th night is expected on the evening of about 5 March. All dates depend on moon sighting.
We quote these dates individually because hotel and flight prices peak in the final ten nights. Your written quote shows the flight, both hotels and the total before you pay. Our Ramadan page shows prices for the month as a whole, and the last ten nights normally cost more.
Yes, ask for it when you enquire. Our standard order is Makkah then Madinah, which puts the 27th night in Madinah on longer packages. We can price a Madinah-first version or more nights in Makkah, and we confirm the final plan in writing.
With 7 nights you are usually home before Eid. The 10-night package normally reaches the end of the month, and 12 or 14 nights include Eid prayer in Madinah. Tell us which you prefer and we will choose flights to match.
For the 1448 season, Saudi Arabia set 9 March 2027 as the last date to issue Umrah visas, 23 March 2027 as the last date to enter and 7 April 2027 as the last date to leave. All our last-ten-nights packages fit inside these dates.
Ramadan has its own hotel list. 3★: Emaar Al Khalil and Emaar Taiba or Odst. 4★: Voco Makkah and Saja Al Madinah. 5★: Anjum Hotel and Sofitel Shahd Madinah. Each is named on your quote before you pay.
Possibly. I'tikaf in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi follows rules announced each Ramadan, including any registration. Check the latest announcement before relying on it. Your hotel room stays booked for every night of the package either way.
It can be, with planning. Crowds are very large, especially after Isha, so a 5★ hotel close to the mosque and a shorter stay help. Wheelchairs and electric carts are available in Masjid al-Haram. Tell us about mobility needs when you enquire.
Rules and schedules change, so we confirm them again on your written quote.
Tell us your dates and airport. We reply with the flight, both hotels and the total, in writing, before you pay anything.
