There is no wrong time for Umrah, but weather, crowds and prices change a lot through the year.
Winter (November to February)
The most comfortable weather, with daytime temperatures in Makkah in the high 20s °C. School holidays in December bring families, so book early.
Ramadan
The most rewarding and the busiest season. Hotels near the Haram are booked months ahead and prices are at their highest, especially in the last ten nights.
Summer (June to September)
Very hot, often above 40 °C, but quieter outside the school holidays and often the best value.
