When to Go for Umrah in Ramadan: 1st, 2nd or 3rd Ashra

Ramadan is divided into 3 Ashras (periods of roughly 10 days), each with a different spiritual focus:

1. 1st Ashra (Days 1–10) — Mercy (Rahma). The first 10 days of Ramadan mark the beginning of the fast. The Haram is less crowded compared to the last Ashra. Hotel rates are at their lowest within Ramadan. 1st Ashra Ramadan Umrah packages suit first-time pilgrims and families with young children who prefer a calmer atmosphere.
2. 2nd Ashra (Days 11–20) — Forgiveness (Maghfirah). The middle 10 days build on the spiritual momentum of the first Ashra. Crowd levels increase gradually. Hotel rates are moderate. 2nd Ashra packages suit pilgrims who want the Ramadan experience without the peak crowds of the last 10 nights.
3. 3rd Ashra (Days 21–30) — Refuge from Hellfire (Najah). The last 10 days of Ramadan contain Laylat al-Qadr. The Haram is at maximum capacity. Hotels near the Haram charge their highest rates. Last 10 days Ramadan Umrah packages are the most popular and sell out first — book 4 to 6 months ahead.

What is the best time to perform Umrah in Ramadan?

The last 10 days of Ramadan (3rd Ashra) are the best time for Umrah in Ramadan, because Laylat al-Qadr falls within these nights. Worship on Laylat al-Qadr carries the reward of more than 83 years (1,000 months) of worship. Travel for the 1st or 2nd Ashra, if you prefer lower hotel rates and smaller crowds. Travel for the full month, if you want to experience all 3 Ashras and observe I'tikaf in the Haram during the final 10 nights. Ahad Travel's packages run from 7 to 14 nights — your advisor matches the duration to your preferred Ashra.

Experts Guidelines for Doing Umrah in Ramadan

Performing Umrah while fasting in Ramadan requires physical preparation and practical planning. These guidelines cover health during fasting, hotel selection, recommended ziyarat sites and travelling with children.

Tips for Stay Healthy During Fasting in Ramadan

Follow these 5 health tips for fasting during Ramadan Umrah:

1. Hydrate between Iftar and Suhoor. Drink 2 to 3 litres (0.5 to 0.8 gallons) of water between Maghrib and Fajr. Makkah temperatures in February–March average 25–32 °C (77–90 °F).
2. Eat slow-digesting foods at Suhoor. Whole grains, oats, eggs and dates sustain energy during the long fasting hours. Avoid salty or fried foods that increase thirst.
3. Schedule tawaf during cooler hours. Perform tawaf and Sa'i after Isha or during the late-night hours when Makkah is cooler and the Mataf is shaded.
4. Rest between prayers. Use the hours between Dhuhr and Asr for sleep. Most Ramadan Umrah pilgrims follow a night-active schedule — sleeping after Fajr and waking before Dhuhr.
5. Carry prescribed medication. Pack enough medication for the full trip plus 3 extra days. Consult your GP about adjusting medication timing during fasting hours.

Best Hotels for Umrah in Ramadan Experts Says

The best Ramadan Umrah hotels combine 3 factors: short walking distance to the Haram (under 500 metres), on-site Iftar and Suhoor dining, and air-conditioned rooms for daytime rest during fasting hours.

In Makkah, Swissotel Makkah sits 250 metres from Masjid al-Haram with direct Haram access, on-site restaurants and Ramadan buffets. Anjum Makkah is 400 metres away with 24-hour room service. Makarem Ajyad sits at 600 metres. Voco Makkah and Elaf Kinda offer 4 star alternatives at lower rates.

In Madinah, Sofitel Shahd Al Madinah is 150 metres from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi — the closest Madinah hotel in Ahad Travel's packages. Sofitel Shahd offers 5 star luxury dining, direct Haram view rooms, an executive lounge and facilities for disabled guests. Elaf Taiba and Dallah Taibah are the 4 star options.

Recommended Ziarats by Holy Pilgrimages during Ramadan Umrah

6 recommended ziyarat sites for Ramadan Umrah pilgrims:

1. Jabal al-Nour (Mountain of Light). Located 4 km (2.5 miles) northeast of Masjid al-Haram. Contains the Cave of Hira where the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
2. Jabal Thawr. Located 4 km (2.5 miles) south of Makkah. The cave where the Prophet (PBUH) and Abu Bakr (RA) sheltered during the Hijra to Madinah.
3. Masjid Quba. Located 3.5 km (2.2 miles) south of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. The first mosque built in Islam. Praying 2 rak'ahs in Masjid Quba equals the reward of an Umrah.
4. Uhud battlefield and cemetery. Located 5 km (3.1 miles) north of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. The site of the Battle of Uhud where 70 companions of the Prophet (PBUH) were martyred.
5. Masjid al-Qiblatayn. Located 3 km (1.9 miles) northwest of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. The mosque where the qiblah (direction of prayer) was changed from Jerusalem to Makkah.
6. Jannat al-Baqi cemetery. Adjacent to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. The burial place of many companions and family members of the Prophet (PBUH).

Ziyarat tours are included on 6 of 12 Ahad Travel packages. Request guided ziyarat as an add-on when booking your Ramadan Umrah package.

Tips for Travelling with Kids for Ramadan Umrah

Follow these 4 tips for family Ramadan Umrah packages with children:

1. Book a hotel within 300 metres of the Haram. Short walks reduce fatigue for children, especially during fasting hours. Swissotel Makkah (250 metres) and Sofitel Shahd Al Madinah (150 metres) are the closest options.
2. Request infant cots and family rooms. Ahad Travel arranges family room configurations and infant cots on request at no extra charge for children under 2.
3. Carry snacks and water for non-fasting children. Children under the age of puberty are not required to fast. Pack light snacks and a refillable water bottle for them.
4. Plan tawaf during quieter hours. The Mataf is least crowded between 2 am and 4 am. Families with young children can perform tawaf on the upper floors or the rooftop level where crowd pressure is lower.
