A Jumada al-Thani Umrah package follows standard non-Ramadan pricing, with crowds and demand generally close to the calendar’s baseline all month. Jumada al-Thani is the sixth month of the Islamic calendar, the second half of the “Jumada” pair named for the dry or frozen land of pre-Islamic Arabia during this stretch of the year, and for many Shia Muslims, part of the month falls within Ayyam-e-Fatimiyya, a mourning period commemorating the passing of Fatima, the Prophet Muhammad’s daughter. Jumada al-Thani 1448 is projected to run from around November 11 to December 9, 2026, and the package pricing above reflects that steady window.

If you’ve already looked into Jumada al-Awwal, the month right before this one, you’ll notice the two are almost always discussed together. They share a name, a season of origin, and, depending on which historical tradition you follow, even a disputed date tied to the same event.

Why This Month Shares Its Name With the One Before It

Jumada al-Thani, literally “the last of the parched land,” completes the pair of months named for the dry or frozen conditions pre-Islamic Arabs experienced during this part of the year, alongside Jumada al-Awwal. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar and shifts roughly ten to eleven days earlier every Gregorian year, that original seasonal meaning no longer applies. The name survives as a piece of calendar history rather than a current description of the weather in Makkah or Madinah.

Ayyam-e-Fatimiyya: A Period of Mourning for Many Shia Muslims

For many Shia Muslims, part of Jumada al-Thani falls within Ayyam-e-Fatimiyya, a mourning period observed for the passing of Fatima, the Prophet Muhammad’s daughter. Shia tradition places her death on the 3rd of Jumada al-Thani, in the year 11 AH, roughly seventy-five days after her father’s own death, according to accounts collected on the burial of Fatima. Because some uncertainty exists even within Shia sources about the precise date, the mourning period is often extended to span from the 13th of Jumada al-Awwal through the 3rd of Jumada al-Thani, covering multiple possible dates rather than a single day.

It’s worth being direct that this isn’t a universally observed date. Sunni sources more commonly place Fatima’s passing earlier, on the 10th of Jumada al-Awwal, the month before. Both traditions describe the same loss, a young woman who survived her father by only a matter of months, situated within roughly three weeks of each other across the calendar’s two Jumada months. If your trip falls during this period and you’re traveling through communities that observe Ayyam-e-Fatimiyya, expect a more subdued, reflective atmosphere in some neighborhoods and mosques, distinct from, though not in conflict with, standard Umrah rituals.

What a Jumada al-Thani Umrah Package Typically Looks Like

A standard package includes round-trip flights from the US, hotel accommodation in Makkah and typically Madinah, and guided support through Ihram, Tawaf, and Sa’i, the same core inclusions shown in the package options above. Without a widely observed festival or sacred-month status across the whole Muslim world, pricing and crowd levels generally stay close to the yearly baseline throughout the month.

Umrah packages from the US typically run somewhere between $1,200 and $3,400, and Jumada al-Thani departures generally fall within that range without the seasonal premiums attached to Ramadan or the sacred months. Jumada al-Thani 1448 is projected to run from around November 11 to December 9, 2026, though as with any Hijri date, the exact start depends on Saudi Arabia’s moon-sighting confirmation each year. That steady, predictable pricing makes it worth requesting a quote for whenever this window fits your schedule.

Book Your Jumada al-Thani Umrah Package

Jumada al-Thani marks the halfway point of the Islamic year, closing out the six months that opened with Muharram. It does that quietly, without a festival marking the milestone, which fits the character of the month it shares a name with.

Whether you’re drawn to this window for its steady pricing or its place in Ayyam-e-Fatimiyya, it’s a straightforward month to plan around. Request a quote for your dates and we’ll help you build a Makkah-and-Madinah package that fits.
