Ramadan Umrah 2027

You need an Umrah visa. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's official FAQ sets out two routes: building your programme on an approved platform such as Nusuk, or going through an external agent who files the application. As a licensed agency, ODV-25012, we file your application and you follow its progress with no technical steps.

The official terms of the Saudi eVisa portal require at least 6 months of validity remaining from the date of entry into the Kingdom, not from the date of return. A passport expiring less than six months after you arrive will be refused, so check it before booking: renewal takes time.

The Saudi Ministry of Health requires every person coming to perform Umrah to hold a quadrivalent ACYW meningococcal vaccination certificate, whatever their country of departure. Further requirements can apply depending on the country of origin and the season. We give you the list that applies to your file before the visa is filed.

Yes. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's official FAQ states that a woman is allowed to come and perform Umrah without a mahram, and sets no age condition for it. Our departures welcome women travelling alone as well as in a group, and the guidance on the ground is the same for everyone.

Yes, from the age of 5: that is the minimum age the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's official FAQ gives for performing Umrah. During Ramadan, plan for the rhythm: late nights around the prayers, dense crowds in the last ten nights, and heat in the afternoon. A hotel close to the Haram changes everything with young children.

Payment is made at the agency, never online: you sign a written contract and receive an official receipt, as law 11.16 on the travel agency profession requires. The deposit appears in each programme’s conditions; the balance and its schedule are set in that contract. For a particular arrangement, ask us before booking.

Early. In Morocco, places on Ramadan trips are booked up months in advance and the hotels closest to the Haram are the first to fill; most booking happens between September and December. Check the season calendar too: the Saudi authorities set a last entry date each season for pilgrims coming from abroad.

A Sha'ban–Ramadan programme leaves during the month of Sha'ban and ends in the first days of Ramadan: you live the passage from one month to the next in Makkah, before the crowds of the last ten nights. A departure inside Ramadan targets those last nights instead. The exact dates depend on the sighting of the crescent.
