Best Time to Go for Umrah: Weather, Costs, and the Ideal Months to Perform Umrah
Read Now
October Umrah packages from the UK offer pilgrims a choice of 7, 10, 12 and 14-night Umrah journeys with 3-star, 4-star and 5-star hotels in Makkah and Madinah. Bismillah Travel provides package options with return flights, accommodation, Umrah visa arrangements, airport and intercity transfers, and breakfast, where included in the selected package. These October options form part of our wider range of Umrah packages, available across different travel periods, hotel categories and lengths of stay.
October is a popular time to perform Umrah because the weather is generally milder than the peak summer months, while UK pilgrims can choose packages around their work, family or October half-term schedules. Prices start from £695 per person, with the final cost depending on travel dates, package duration, hotel and room occupancy.
Whether you are travelling alone, with family or as a group, you can compare October Umrah packages based on price, hotel location, nights in Makkah and Madinah, and included travel services.
October is a practical month for Umrah from the UK, particularly for pilgrims looking to travel outside the main Ramadan and Hajj periods. The weather, crowd levels, flight availability and package prices can vary by travel date, so it is worth comparing your options before booking.
October brings milder weather to Makkah and Madinah compared with peak summer months, although daytime temperatures can still be hot. Makkah reaches around 38°C to 40°C, while Madinah averages around 36°C to 37°C during the day.
| City | Average Daytime High | Average Nighttime Low |
| Makkah | 38°C to 40°C (100°F to 104°F) | 25°C to 26°C (77°F to 79°F) |
| Madinah | 36°C to 37°C (97°F to 99°F) | 21°C to 22°C (70°F to 72°F) |
The cooler evenings make outdoor activities more comfortable. You should still stay hydrated, use sun protection, and consider hotel distance when planning your October Umrah.
October is outside Ramadan and the main summer holiday period. The Haram and Prophet's Mosque can still be busy but are calmer. You may find the overall atmosphere more manageable than during major peak periods, and you can also pray closer to the Kaaba. You'll also have a range of hotel options and better availability.
Lastly, one good reason to pick October for Umrah is that it costs less. Flights, hotels, and the whole visit are usually cheaper during the off-season. Bismillah Travel offers special deals and discounts for early bookings in October. This helps you have a great Umrah without spending too much money.
October can also work well for families planning around the UK school calendar, including the October half-term period. These dates can be popular, so families travelling during half-term may want to arrange flights and accommodation early.

Hotel distance: 5-star hotels can generally be around 200–700 metres from the Holy Mosques, approximately a 3–10 minutes' walk. However, a 5-star rating does not automatically mean the hotel is closer to the Haram or Prophet's Mosque. We'll let you know the specific hotel's location and walking route before booking.
Please note: These distance and walking-time ranges are general guides, not guaranteed distances for every hotel listed. The exact route can vary depending on the hotel entrance, pedestrian access, crowds and weather.
Bismillah Travel works with a network of hotels and accommodation providers in Makkah and Madinah, giving us access to different room types and hotel options across several accommodation categories. We also partner with major airlines to provide UK pilgrims with a wide range of flight options. Where preferential rates or partner rates are available, we use them to offer competitive package prices to our customers. Hotel availability and negotiated rates can vary by travel date, room type, occupancy and season, so the final price is always confirmed when the package is booked.
These partnerships can give us access to competitive hotel and flight rates, helping us offer October Umrah packages at affordable prices. Our package options combine hotel accommodation, flights and travel arrangements based on availability and the selected itinerary. We focus on providing good-value packages with suitable hotel locations and convenient travel options, rather than simply offering the lowest price.
