May Umrah Packages 2027

May Umrah Packages 2027 (UK)

Planning your Umrah for May 2027? You’ve picked one of the more comfortable months of the year to travel. May sits outside Ramadan Umrah packages and outside the UK’s main summer holiday rush, which means smaller crowds at the Haram, more reasonable prices, and a calmer, more personal pilgrimage experience. At Hajj Umrah Travels, we put together May Umrah packages from the UK that cover your flights, visa, hotels, and transport, so you can focus on the spiritual side of the trip rather than the logistics.

Call us on 020 3048 4411 to check availability and get a quote for your May dates.

Why May Is a Good Month for Umrah

Every month of the year has its own character when it comes to performing Umrah, and May has a few genuine advantages worth knowing about before you book.

• Fewer crowds. May falls between the winter travel season and the summer school holidays, and it’s well clear of Ramadan. This means Tawaf around the Kaaba and prayers at both mosques are noticeably less crowded than during peak periods, giving you more space and time for personal worship.

• More comfortable weather than summer. Saudi Arabia’s summer heat really sets in from June onwards. May still gets warm, especially in the afternoons, with daytime temperatures often reaching the low-to-mid 30s°C in Makkah and Madinah. Mornings and evenings are more manageable, so if you plan your Ziyarat visits and outdoor time around those cooler hours, the heat is easy to work around.

• Better value pricing. Because demand is lower than during Ramadan or the summer holidays, flights and hotel rooms in May are generally more affordable. If you’re trying to get good value without cutting corners on hotel quality, May is one of the better windows in the calendar to book.

• Good for families with school-age children. May doesn’t line up with a major UK school holiday, so it suits families who can take their children out of school for a short period, or those who prefer travelling without the peak-season crowds that summer and Ramadan bring. For helpful family travel tips, read our checklist on how to travel to Makkah with children.

What’s Included in Our May Umrah Packages

Our May Umrah packages are built to take the guesswork out of planning. Depending on the package you choose, you can expect:

• Return flights from the UK to Jeddah or Madinah

• Saudi Umrah visa processing

• Hotel accommodation in both Makkah and Madinah

• Transport between the airport and your hotels, plus the transfer between Makkah and Madinah

• A guided group Ziyarat tour of key historical sites in both cities

• Support from our UK-based team before you travel and during your trip

We offer a range of hotel categories, from budget-friendly 3-star options to more comfortable 4 and 5-star hotels closer to the Haram, so you can choose based on what matters most to you  location, room comfort, or price.

Hotel Options for May

Hotel pricing in May tends to be steadier than during peak season, which gives you a bit more room to choose based on preference rather than availability pressure.

• Budget hotels are typically a short walk or shuttle ride from the Haram and are a solid choice if your priority is keeping costs down without giving up cleanliness or comfort. Explore our 7 nights 3 star Umrah package, 10 nights 3 star Umrah package, or 14 nights 3 star Umrah package for great budget stays.

• Mid-range hotels sit closer to the mosque, usually within a 5–10 minute walk, and offer a bit more space and better breakfast options. Consider options within our 7 nights 4 star Umrah package, 10 nights 4 star Umrah package, or 14 nights 4 star Umrah package.

• Premium hotels are located within a few hundred meters of the Haram, ideal if you want to minimize walking, especially useful if you’re travelling with elderly parents or young children. Browse our 7 nights 5 star Umrah package, 10 nights 5 star Umrah package, or 14 nights 5 star Umrah package.

We’ll talk you through the distances and realistic walking times for each option when you enquire, so you know exactly what you’re booking.

Flights for May Umrah

Flight availability in May is generally good, with more seat options and less last-minute price surges compared to Ramadan or the summer holiday months. We work with a range of airlines flying out of major UK departure hubs, including Umrah packages London, Umrah packages Manchester, Umrah packages Birmingham, and Glasgow Umrah packages.

Routes include both direct flights and connecting options through hubs like Istanbul, Doha, or Cairo, which can bring the cost down if you’re flexible on travel time. Booking your flights 8–10 weeks ahead of your travel date usually gets you the best combination of price and choice, though we can also help with shorter-notice bookings depending on seat availability.

Who Should Consider a May Umrah Package

May tends to suit:

• First-time pilgrims who want a calmer introduction to Umrah without the intensity of Ramadan crowds

• Families looking for a manageable travel window outside major school holidays

• Older pilgrims who may find the milder pre-summer weather easier to handle than the peak summer heat

• Anyone on a budget who still wants good hotel quality without paying peak-season prices. Check out our dedicated selection of cheap Umrah packages for more cost-effective travel options.

If you are evaluating other months during the year, you can also compare our March Umrah packages, April Umrah packages, October Umrah packages, November Umrah packages, and December Umrah packages.

Why Choose a May Umrah Package From Hajj Umrah Travels

Booking through a UK-based specialist rather than piecing your trip together yourself makes a real difference, especially for a quieter month like May where getting the details right matters more than chasing the lowest possible price.

• UK-based support from start to finish. Our team is based in the UK and available by phone, so you’re not relying on emails to an overseas agent with a big time difference. If a flight changes or a document is missing, you can call us directly.

• Handled visa and paperwork. We manage your Saudi Umrah visa application for you, so you’re not navigating the process alone or risking delays that could affect your travel dates. Make sure to review what documents do I need for Umrah before booking.

• Hotels we know and vet. We work with hotels in Makkah and Madinah across all budget levels, and we can give you an honest, practical picture of distance and walking time rather than just a listing description.

• Group Ziyarat tours included. Our guided tours of the historical sites in both cities are led by people who know the sites and their significance, so you get context along with the visit.

• Flexible packages, not one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with a larger family group, we build the package around your dates, budget, and hotel preference rather than pushing a fixed itinerary. We even offer multi-destination trips like our 10 nights 4 star Umrah plus Dubai package.

• Support while you’re travelling. If something comes up once you’re in Saudi Arabia, you’re not on your own  our support continues through your trip, not just up to departure. Review our practical guide on important information regarding Umrah to prepare before flying.
