By Fond Travels · Updated September 22, 2026
Assalamu Alaikum. Umrah can be performed at almost any time of year, and the "best" time depends on what matters most to you — the reward of Ramadan, cooler weather, lower cost, or fewer crowds. Here's a guide to the best time to perform Umrah from Canada, with your trip arranged in Canadian Dollars.
Ramadan — the most rewarding, and the busiest
Umrah in Ramadan carries immense reward and an atmosphere like no other, especially the last ten nights. It is also the most crowded and most expensive season, and it books up months ahead. Ramadan 2027 is expected around mid-February 2027. See our Ramadan Umrah from Canada guide.
Off-peak — the best value and fewest crowds
For a calmer, more affordable Umrah, the quieter months — outside Ramadan, the school holidays and the Hajj season — offer the best value on flights and Haram-area hotels, and a more peaceful experience at the Haramain. Late spring and autumn (avoiding the Hajj period) are often ideal.
Weather in Makkah and Madinah
- Winter (Nov–Feb): the mildest and most comfortable weather — pleasant for the many walks to the Haram.
- Summer (Jun–Aug): very hot; manageable with care, and often the lowest prices outside Ramadan.
- Spring & autumn: warm and comfortable, a good balance.
Working around Canadian school holidays
Many families travel during the winter break, March break or summer. These are convenient but busier and pricier; if your dates are flexible, travelling just outside them saves money and crowds. We'll help you find the sweet spot.
Quick picks
- Most reward: Ramadan (book earliest).
- Best value & fewest crowds: off-peak months outside Ramadan and Hajj.
- Most comfortable weather: November–February.
