December is not exactly the cheapest month for traveling, nor is it the quietest. However, if you plan smartly, it can be a great time and major money save for pilgrims traveling from the UK. The Holy Cities offer a refreshing break from the sweltering summer season or the bustling crowds of Ramadan.
The Christmas period tends to normally run from around the 20th of December on and through into the first week of January thus allowing a straightforward two-week long travel window where no school is lost and where the whole family can join in. Therefore, December represents only practical time that UK Muslim families can travel without disrupting their children’s education. However, it is good to keep in mind that early December prior to school holiday rush is less crowded, cheaper and generally a preferred month for pilgrims who wish an assisted experience at the Haram.
Ideal December Weather
For UK pilgrims, the mild winter weather is one of the clearest reasons to choose this month. Daily temperature in Makkah from 15 to 25°C with cooler, refreshing evenings seems a world away from the summer’s blasts above 40°C. In these conditions, Tawaf, Sa’i, and the walks from your hotel to the Haram are all considerably easier, which is why December makes an ideal choice for many first-time pilgrims and those travelling with elderly relatives.
You can choose from 3-star, 4-star and 5-star December Umrah packages in either 7-night, 10-night, or 14-night packages; just view the cards above for accurate hotels and rates. Whether you travel in early December to enjoy a quieter window or during the Christmas school break with family, we have a customized package for you. All packages include return flights from UK, full processing of Umrah visa including hotels in Makkah and Madinah with Ground Transport between cities confirmed on paper before payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do UK families choose December for Umrah?
Around 20 December to the first week of January, the window of Christmas school holidays leaves families a clear two weeks for travel in which they can (hopefully) enjoy being together but not miss out on education! Joined by the usually mild, balmy weather of December it sets up one of the most helpful months there is for a number of those fellow families who find they cannot get away in term-time.
Is early December or late December better for Umrah?
The first days of December are low season; therefore lower in price, with smaller crowds at the Haram and better hotel availability. Late December is during the Christmas school holidays so a busier and more expensive time to travel. We can always suggest a window that could work perfectly for you and your group.
What is the temperature in December in Makkah and Madinah?
Makkah is typically 15–25°C during the day and comfortably cool at night, making it ideal for outdoor movement. However, Madinah gets noticeably colder at night, so wearing a light layer during evening prayers is recommended.
Is Umrah available in December 2026?
Yes. The Umrah season for the 1448H /1449H is in December 2026. Simply call us and ask about our availability and pricing for your dates.

Prices for our 3-star packages (from £655pp), 4-star (from £813pp) and 5-star (from £907pp) range from seven, ten and fourteen nights. Demand and prices peak during the 5 days surrounding Christmas day, around the 20th December tends to be much busier with higher prices.
When Should You Reserve Your December Umrah Package?
So for the start of December, 2 to 3 months in advance is generally sufficient. The Christmas school holiday window availability (from 20 December onwards) would require you to book from 4 to 5 months ahead, we recommend. The catch is that this time of the year, hotels in close proximity to the Haram have a fast turnover.
Is December a good month for first-time pilgrims?
No doubt the milder weather certainly helps with umrah physical exertion as well as early December being a much quieter time in the haram to move through things at your own pace.
