December Umrah Packages
School holidays, beautiful 20–28°C Makkah weather, and the whole family together in the Haram — our most requested month of the year.
December is when UK families go for Umrah: two weeks of school holidays, mild and comfortable weather in Makkah and Madinah, and grandparents, parents and children making tawaf together. It is our single busiest month — and December flights from London, Manchester and Birmingham are usually full by October.
Every December package includes return flights from your chosen UK airport, Umrah visas processed by us, hotels near the Haram in both holy cities, and all transfers. Tell us your school's exact term dates and we'll build the trip around them.

Your questions, answered
How much is a December Umrah package from the UK?
December packages start from £695pp for 7 nights with 3★ hotels, from £995pp for 10 nights in 4★ hotels near the Haram, and from £1,395pp for 5★ Haram-view stays — always including flights, visa, hotels and transfers.
What is the weather like in Makkah in December?
Beautiful — daytime highs around 28°C and cool evenings around 18–20°C. It's the most comfortable time of year to perform tawaf and sa'i, especially for elderly pilgrims and young children.
When should I book December Umrah?
By September at the latest. December departures from Manchester and London routinely sell out in October, and Haram-close hotels go first. A small deposit secures your dates.
Can you fit our trip inside school holidays?
Yes — that's our speciality in December. Send us your school's last day of term and return date, and we'll build a 7–14 night itinerary that fits exactly, often departing the evening school breaks up.
