Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on February 28, 2026, and end on March 30, 2026, subject to moon sighting. The exact dates may vary by 1-2 days based on lunar observations in Saudi Arabia. We recommend booking flexible packages that can accommodate slight date variations.
Is it safe to perform Umrah while fasting during Ramadan?
Yes, it's completely safe for healthy individuals. The weather in March 2026 will be pleasant (18-28°C), and the Haram has excellent air conditioning. Plan intensive activities during non-fasting hours, stay hydrated between Iftar and Suhoor, and listen to your body. If you have health conditions, consult your doctor before travel.

Early booking offers significant advantages: up to 30% savings, better hotel selection, preferred flight times, group booking opportunities, payment plan options, visa processing priority, and peace of mind with confirmed reservations. Prices typically increase as Ramadan approaches, and availability becomes limited.
Which period of Ramadan 2026 is best for Umrah?
Each period has its benefits: The first Ashra (Feb 28-Mar 9) offers mercy and fewer crowds; the second Ashra (Mar 10-19) focuses on forgiveness with balanced conditions; the last 10 days (Mar 20-30) contain Laylat al-Qadr but are most crowded and expensive.
