Performing Umrah during Ramadan is considered one of the most spiritually rewarding acts a Muslim can undertake. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Umrah performed during Ramadan is equivalent in reward to performing Hajj in his company. This makes Ramadan Umrah incredibly popular among Pakistani pilgrims. However, it also means higher demand, higher costs, and larger crowds. This guide helps you plan a smooth, blessed Ramadan Umrah journey.
Best Dates for Ramadan Umrah
Ramadan lasts 29-30 days, and each part of the month has different crowd levels and costs:
- First 10 days (1st Ashra): Moderate crowds, lower prices, good weather
- Middle 10 days: Slightly busier, moderate prices
- Last 10 days (Laylatul Qadr search): Extremely busy, highest prices, peak demand
- Last 5 nights: The busiest time — hotels sell out months in advance
If your goal is to catch Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power), you need to be in Makkah during the last 10 nights of Ramadan. Book at least 4-6 months in advance for these dates — prices double or triple compared to early Ramadan.

Practical Tips for Ramadan Umrah
Managing Fasting During Umrah
Fasting while performing Tawaf and Sa'i can be physically demanding. Start your Tawaf shortly after Fajr or after Maghrib (if you are breaking fast in the Haram). Carry dates and water for Iftar — the Haram provides Iftar meals, but having your own is more convenient. Wear comfortable shoes and pace yourself.
Booking Tips
- Book 4-6 months in advance for last 10 nights, 2-3 months for early Ramadan
- Reserve Nusuk permits for Rawdah Mubarak early — slots fill within minutes during Ramadan
- Choose hotels with buffet Iftar and Suhoor included
- Confirm your flight early — Ramadan flights from Pakistan sell out quickly
- Get your Saudi eVisa processed before Ramadan starts to avoid delays
