Why choose the Easter holidays for Umrah
The Easter holidays are the main spring school break, so families can perform Umrah together without missing school. In 2027 the break falls a few weeks after Ramadan and Eid, when the Haram is noticeably calmer than during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
The weather is warming up but still manageable, especially for the early-morning and evening tawaf. Book early for the first weekend of the holidays, which is the busiest time to fly.
Easter holiday 2027 dates
The bank holidays are Friday 26 March and Monday 29 March 2027. Many councils break up on Friday 26 March and return around 12 April; others take their two weeks in April. Academies can set their own dates, so always check with your school.
- Early break: leave on 26–27 March and return before school restarts in mid-April.
- Later break: some areas break in early April, which often means lower fares than the first weekend.
- Before Hajj season: Hajj 2027 is expected in mid-May. The Easter holidays fall well before the period when Saudi Arabia limits Umrah ahead of Hajj, but booking early keeps hotel choice open.
Easter holiday Umrah with your family
Every traveller, including infants, needs their own visa and a passport valid for at least six months. Tell us the ages of children when you ask for a quote, so we can price family or connecting rooms.
For grandparents or anyone with limited mobility, we can arrange airport assistance and choose a hotel close to the Haram. Read our Umrah visa guide for the current visa and Nusuk rules.
Flights for Easter holiday Umrah from the UK
At the time of writing (November 2026), Saudia flies non-stop to Jeddah from London Heathrow and Manchester, and has announced more Manchester flights for early 2027. Its Birmingham service is suspended until at least the end of March 2027. There is no non-stop flight to Madinah from the UK.
