Still Feeling Confused?
Checkout answers to some common questions that our customers often ask.
- 1. Is October a Good Time to Go for Umrah?
Yes, October is considered one of the best times to go for Umrah, especially for UK pilgrims. The weather is relatively cooler compared to the scorching summer months, making it more comfortable for performing rituals. October often coincides with the half-term school holidays, which makes it easier for families to travel together without affecting school schedules. Additionally, it's less crowded than peak months like Ramadan and December, allowing for a more peaceful and manageable pilgrimage. Zaitoon Travel also offers early bird discounts and flexible instalment plans for October Umrah packages, making it a smart and spiritually rewarding time to travel.

What Will the Weather Be Like in October 2025 for Umrah?
In October 2025, the weather in Saudi Arabia will be relatively milder compared to peak summer months, but still warm for UK pilgrims. Temperatures in Makkah typically range between 26°C and 40°C, while in Medina, you can expect temperatures between 21°C and 37°C. While this is considered more comfortable by local standards, it may still feel hot to travellers from the UK. We recommend packing light, breathable clothing, staying hydrated, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours to stay comfortable throughout your pilgrimage.
