When to go
- Christmas and the Australian summer school holidays (mid-December to late January) are usually the most expensive time to fly out of Australia, and seats sell out early.
- Ramadan, and above all its last ten days, is the busiest and dearest time for Umrah. Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier each year (in 2027 it falls around February–March), so check the dates before you book.
- Around Hajj Umrah for overseas visitors is usually paused for several weeks and flights to Jeddah are at their dearest. Hajj also moves about 11 days earlier each year.
- School holidays in New Zealand and Australia fill flights with families; outside them is usually cheaper and calmer in Makkah and Madinah.
Planning tips
- Jeddah or Madinah? Many pilgrims fly into one and home from the other. Compare both with a multi-city search.
- Visa: check the official rules on visa.visitsaudi.com and the Nusuk app before booking.
- Set a fare alert on any route page and we’ll email you when it drops to your price.
- Mobile data: a travel eSIM is usually cheaper than roaming; see the route pages.
