Traveling to Saudi Arabia for Umrah in summer is possible and popular with UK Muslims, as it coincides with school and public holidays. Although it is quite hot in Saudi Arabia, planning and good packages can still make the trip worthwhile during the month of August. Travel agencies such as Taqwa Tours offer a wide variety of packages from 3-star to 4-star and 5-star for durations usually spanning from 7 to 14 days and catering to single travelers, families, groups, and couples. Among the advantages of these packages are comparatively fewer crowds than other peak seasons, all-inclusive services (flights, accommodation, transport, and visas), and guided Ziyarat tours.
Umrah can be performed during summer in July and August. This is the peak season for many pilgrims since it helps coincide with school and public holidays, giving a good travel window. Saudi Arabia has hot summers, but packages can be managed by travel agencies as they deal with the summer heat.
International pilgrims can perform Umrah starting June 11, 2025. Visa issuance for the new season begins one day prior, on June 10, 2025. You can book your Umrah package for July in advance. Contact our agent to secure your package today.
Advance booking for summer Umrah is recommended in view of better rates and availability, especially if travel is during popularly known school holiday weeks. Early birds entice discounts, allowing travelers to save on the fare. Prices are expected to go up during a few holiday weeks, but travel definitely won’t be as crowded as in Ramadan or December, so booking should be done at least within a reasonable time.
