The weather is at its most comfortable, with mild days and cool evenings that make walking between your hotel, the mosque and Ziyarah sites easy. For UK travellers, it's a welcome escape from the coldest part of winter at home.
Because demand is lower, January often offers the best prices and the widest choice of well-located hotels of the year. Whether you want a short trip or a longer, relaxed stay, we'll match you to the right package for your budget, with full UK support throughout.

January Umrah weather in Makkah and Madinah
January is considered one of the most comfortable months to perform Umrah thanks to the pleasant weather in Makkah and Madinah. The mild temperatures make it easier to perform Tawaf, Sa'i and daily prayers with greater comfort, especially compared to the intense summer heat in Saudi Arabia.
Performing Umrah is a deeply rewarding experience, and while the journey can sometimes be physically demanding, many pilgrims prefer travelling in January because of the more manageable climate. May Allah (SWT) accept the prayers and efforts of all those undertaking this blessed journey.
