Cool weather and the winter break
December brings the coolest weather of the year to Makkah and Madinah, and the UK winter school holidays fall at the end of the month, making it a natural choice for families.
Coolest month
December is the coolest time of year in both cities: comfortable for walking, and a relief if you find the heat difficult.
Winter school break
The Christmas and New Year holidays let families travel together without taking children out of school.
Book the holidays early
Dates over the winter break carry the most demand. The rest of December is much quieter.

About December Umrah
What UK pilgrims ask us most about Umrah in December. If your question isn’t here, our team will talk it through with you.
Still have a question?
Speak to a real person in the UK. No obligation to book.
Is December a good time for Umrah?
December suits travellers who prefer cooler weather, and families who need the school holidays. The first three weeks are fairly quiet; the winter break is much busier and prices reflect that.
How far in advance should I book for December?
Six to eight weeks for early December. For the school holidays at the end of the month, book three to four months ahead.
What's the weather like in Makkah and Madinah in December?
The coolest month of the year. Days are mild and evenings are properly cold by Saudi standards, particularly in Madinah. Pack a jacket for Fajr and Isha.
Can I choose my exact departure date?
Yes. Our December packages run throughout the month. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire and we’ll confirm flight and hotel availability for those specific days.
Are these prices per person?
Yes. All prices shown are per person based on sharing a room. Single occupancy is available at a supplement, which we’ll quote when you enquire.
Can I pay a deposit?
Yes. December packages can be secured with a deposit, with the balance due before departure. We’ll confirm the deposit amount and balance date in writing when you book.
