Muharram is the first month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar and one of the four divinely designated sacred months — Al-Ashhur Al-Hurum. In this blessed period, acts of worship carry amplified spiritual reward, and sins carry greater consequence, making it a profoundly meaningful time to undertake the lesser pilgrimage.
Performing Umrah during Muharram allows pilgrims to combine the unparalleled blessings of the sacred month with the immense spiritual reward of visiting the holy city of Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque ﷺ in Madinah. This combination makes Muharram Umrah uniquely spiritually valuable.
Unlike the peak of Ramadan, Muharram offers a more peaceful and uncrowded experience at the Haram — allowing for extended personal prayer, reflection and worship at the Ka'bah without the extreme congestion of the last ten nights of Ramadan.
"The best of fasts after the month of Ramadan is the fast of Allah's month, Muharram."
— Sahih Muslim 1163Plan your Muharram Umrah around these important Islamic dates. All dates are approximate and subject to moon sighting confirmation.
The start of the new Hijri year. Performing Umrah on or near the Islamic New Year is considered deeply auspicious, combining a historic milestone with the blessings of the sacred month.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ intended to fast on the 9th of Muharram alongside the 10th to distinguish Islamic observance. Many pilgrims fast on both the 9th and 10th whilst performing their Umrah rites.
The Day of Ashura is one of the most significant days in the Islamic calendar. The Prophet ﷺ described its fast as expiating the sins of the previous year. Being in Makkah performing Tawaf on Ashura is a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual opportunity.
The entire month of Muharram is sacred. An extended 14 or 21-night Umrah stay allows pilgrims to spend multiple weeks in Makkah and Madinah, performing Umrah, praying at the Haram and Masjid Nabawi, and visiting historic Ziyarat sites.
All packages include flights, Umrah visa, hotels in Makkah & Madinah, transfers and 24/7 support
Muharram offers a unique combination of spiritual significance and practical advantages that make it one of the best periods to perform Umrah from the UK.
As one of the four inviolable sacred months, acts of worship in Muharram — including Umrah, fasting and dhikr — carry amplified spiritual reward, making every moment in the holy cities exceptionally precious.
Unlike the overwhelming crowds of Ramadan's last ten nights, Muharram allows for a more personal, meditative Tawaf and Sa'i. You can pray at the Ka'bah with greater ease and spend quality time in worship without the extreme congestion.
Muharram Umrah packages are typically more affordable than Ramadan packages, while still offering the immense spiritual reward of worshipping in a sacred month. An excellent option for families and those on a budget.
Spending the Day of Ashura (10th Muharram) performing Tawaf around the Ka'bah or praying in Masjid Nabawi is a deeply profound spiritual experience that very few UK Muslims have the opportunity to enjoy.
Muharram 2026 falls during UK school summer holidays (mid-June to July), making it one of the most convenient times for families with children to travel for Umrah without disrupting the school year.
Beginning the new Hijri year in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah is a profoundly meaningful way to set your spiritual intentions for the year ahead, combining the new year's blessing with the reward of Umrah.
