When should I book for the last 10 nights?

For Ramadan 2027, book by late autumn 2026 if you possibly can. The buildings closest to the Haram sell their final ashra allocation first and it rarely reopens. By January you are usually choosing between a longer walk or a higher price, and by February you are often choosing neither because nothing suitable is left.

Are last 10 nights packages ATOL protected?

Yes. Every flight inclusive package we sell is covered under ATOL licence 12834, whatever the season or the price. Your certificate is issued the moment your deposit clears and the number is verifiable on the Civil Aviation Authority register. Final ashra bookings attract a lot of money changing hands quickly, so check any operator's licence before paying, ours included.

The odd nights of the final ashra are the most sought after ten days in the Muslim calendar, and the hotels nearest the Haram sell out for them first. We time these itineraries so you are there before maghrib on the 20th, not arriving halfway through.

Pilgrims at Masjid al Haram during the last 10 nights of Ramadan

27 Feb Final Ashra
Begins 2027

The Final Ten Nights

One Night Here Is Worth
More Than a Thousand Months

There's no comparison to the final ashra. Pilgrims who've performed Umrah a dozen times still describe those ten nights as something apart, and the ones who've never been struggle to picture it until they're standing in it.

Which is exactly why it's so difficult to book.

Hotels within reach of Masjid al Haram contract their final ashra allocation months ahead, often by the previous autumn. Airlines price those same dates two or three times above a quiet February. And demand doesn't soften, because nobody who's set their heart on the 27th night decides to go in April instead.

So the honest advice is unglamorous. Book early, and be realistic about what your budget actually reaches during the busiest ten nights of the year.

What we can promise is that we won't dress up the distance. If the hotel we can offer sits 900 metres out, we'll say 900 metres rather than walking distance. In the final ashra, when roads close and crowds build an hour before every prayer, that difference decides how many of the odd nights you actually spend inside the Haram. The same standard applies across the wider Umrah package range we run from the UK, but it matters more here than anywhere.

The Odd Nights, Mapped

When Each Night Falls in Ramadan 2027

Calculated against an expected start of 8 February 2027. Every one of these shifts by a day if the moon is sighted differently, and we plan for that rather than pretend it cannot happen.

First Odd Night

Sat 27 February

Begins at maghrib on the 27th. Be in Makkah by this point if you want the full ashra.

Second Odd Night

Mon 1 March

Crowds climb noticeably from here. Qiyam runs late and the mataf stays full past 2am.

Third Odd Night

Wed 3 March

Many pilgrims find this the most manageable of the odd nights for an older traveller.

Fourth Odd Night

Fri 5 March

The night most widely sought. Expect the heaviest crowds of the entire year.

Busiest

Final Odd Night

Sun 7 March

Eid is expected around 9 or 10 March depending on whether Ramadan runs 29 or 30 days.

Every date above is a projection. Ramadan begins on the sighting of the crescent, not on a calculation, and a one day shift moves all five odd nights with it. Pilgrims travelling specifically for the 27th night are the ones a shift hurts most, because a trip built tight around a single date can miss it entirely.

Where availability allows, we build a night of margin into final ashra itineraries. Where it does not, we tell you plainly at booking stage that your dates sit tight against the expected calendar, and you decide whether that risk is acceptable. For the full year including where Hajj sits, see our overview of planning Umrah across the 2027 season.

What Goes Wrong

Four Mistakes Pilgrims Make Booking the Final Ashra

We see all four every single year, and three of them are entirely avoidable at booking stage.

Arriving on the 21st Instead of the 20th

The Islamic day starts at maghrib. That means the 21st night begins on the evening of the 20th, so a flight landing on the morning of the 21st has already missed it. People book what looks like a ten night trip and get nine. Worse, arrival day in Ramadan is exhausting, so even landing on the 20th at 4pm leaves you crawling to Isha. We aim to get you in with half a day spare.

Trusting the Phrase Walking Distance

It means nothing at the best of times. During the final ashra it's actively misleading, because the walk you measured on a map in October bears no resemblance to the same walk on the 27th night with roads closed and a hundred thousand people moving the other way. Nine hundred metres becomes forty minutes. Ask for the hotel name, then check it yourself before the deposit goes anywhere.

Leaving It Until January

By January the buildings nearest the Haram have sold their final ashra rooms, usually to operators who committed the previous spring. What's left is further out at a higher price, which is the worst of both. If Ramadan 2027 is the plan, autumn 2026 is when the conversation needs to happen. We'd rather tell you that in October than explain it to you in February.

Underestimating What the Ashra Takes Out of You

Fasting through the day, Taraweeh and Qiyam through the night, barely sleeping, in crowds the whole time. It's extraordinary and it's genuinely hard. Older pilgrims in particular sometimes manage four nights properly and spend the rest recovering in the room. Proximity helps more than anything else here, which is the one place we'll push you to spend more rather than less.

Not Set on the Final Ten Nights?

The first twenty nights of Ramadan carry enormous reward too, and they cost considerably less while being far easier to book. Taraweeh at the Haram in the second week is an experience most pilgrims never forget, and you'll actually get space to pray in. Our full month guide to Ramadan Umrah packages covers every window across the month with pricing for each.

If your dates won't bend and the final ashra is non negotiable, that's fine too. Tell us at enquiry and we'll be straight about what's genuinely available rather than taking a deposit and sorting it out later.

Final Ashra Departures

Last 10 Nights Umrah Packages for Ramadan 2027

Each option covers return flights from the UK, Nusuk permit processing, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, every transfer in Saudi Arabia and a group leader who stays with you through the ashra. Deposits from £99. These prices sit well above our standard Umrah package prices outside Ramadan, and the gap is entirely hotel and airline driven rather than anything we add.

Discuss It

Final ashra pricing moves faster than any other window in the year and availability genuinely does run out rather than simply getting expensive. Hotel tier decides most of the gap, and our breakdown of what separates 3, 4 and 5 star Umrah hotels explains why that matters so much more across these ten nights. If you want something built entirely around your own dates and nights, our custom package service handles that.

No Hidden Extras

What a Final Ashra Package Actually Covers

Included

Return Flights Timed to the AshraArrival with enough margin before maghrib on the 20th, and a return that does not pull you out before Eid.

Nusuk Permit ProcessingHandled start to finish, with the application submitted at the right point rather than the moment you pay.

Hotel Named and MeasuredThe property name and its distance from Masjid al Haram in metres, in writing, before any money moves.

All Saudi TransportAirport arrival, any intercity journey and the return, with timings planned around prayer and road closures.

A Group Leader Through the AshraReachable at any hour, which matters when Qiyam ends at 3am and somebody gets separated in a crowd.

ATOL ProtectionLicence 12834, certificate issued when your deposit clears, number verifiable on the CAA register.

Not Included, and Why

Travel InsuranceRecommended strongly, particularly for older pilgrims attempting the full ashra, but we do not sell it so you can choose cover that suits you.

MenACWY VaccinationRequired for your Nusuk permit, available from your NHS GP. Book it at least ten days before travel.

Iftar and Suhoor Beyond the HotelMost hotels run both during Ramadan, and the Haram distributes iftar daily. We confirm what your property provides.

Guaranteed Entry to the MatafNobody can promise that during the final ashra. Capacity is managed by the authorities and the courtyards fill hours ahead on the odd nights.

Passport RenewalSix months validity beyond entry is required. Check today, because renewals take weeks and February arrives faster than people expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Last 10 Nights Umrah
Your Questions Answered

What UK pilgrims ask us when planning the final ashra.

Calculations point to Ramadan 1448 beginning around Monday 8 February 2027, which places the final ashra from the evening of Saturday 27 February. The 21st night starts at maghrib on 27 February, not on the morning of the 28th, and that catches a lot of pilgrims out. Every date here is subject to the moon sighting and can move by a day, so we build a night of margin into these itineraries wherever availability allows.

Nobody knows, which is rather the point of seeking it across all the odd nights. Based on an 8 February start, the odd nights fall on the 21st around 27 February, the 23rd around 1 March, the 25th around 3 March, the 27th around 5 March and the 29th around 7 March. The 27th night draws the heaviest crowds by a wide margin, so if that specific night matters to you, say so when you enquire and we will plan the arrival around it.

Final ashra packages start from £1,149 per person for 10 nights and £1,249 for 14 nights, which sits well above our standard season pricing for good reason. Hotels within walking distance of Masjid al Haram are contracted months ahead at premium rates for this specific window, and airlines price the same route far higher across those dates. Deposits start at £99 and the balance is staged with you rather than demanded in one go.

If the full ashra is what you want, yes. Arriving on the morning of the 21st means you have already missed the 21st night, because the Islamic day begins at maghrib. We time these itineraries so you land with time to check in, rest briefly and be at the Haram before maghrib on the 20th. Pilgrims intending itikaf need to be in the masjid by that same point, which is tighter still.

Closer matters more in the final ashra than at any other time of year. Crowds mean the walk takes longer than the distance suggests, roads close around prayer times and taxis become unusable near the mosque. We name the hotel and state its distance in metres in writing before you pay. If the figure we can offer is further out than you want, we will tell you rather than describe it as walking distance and hope you do not notice until you arrive.

Yes, and a number of pilgrims who travel with us do. Itikaf means remaining in the masjid from maghrib on the 20th until Eid is announced, so you need a hotel close enough for family to bring food and a change of clothes, and you need to tell us at booking stage rather than on arrival. The practical arrangements are genuinely different from an ordinary Ramadan trip and they cannot be improvised once you are there.

Looking at trip lengths rather than specific nights? Our guide to how long an Umrah trip really needs to be covers 7 to 21 nights, and all of our UK Umrah packages in one place sets out every option with pricing.

The Ashra Begins 27 February. Rooms Are Going Now.
