Private/family vs group departures
Each package, whether it is private/family or group departures, has their own benefits.
- Private/family departure comes with adjoining rooms, flexible schedule, higher cost
- Group departure provides shared transport, social experience, lower cost.
July is the peak season of summer. If you prefer cooler weather, you can also book our November Umrah packages or December Umrah packages.
How much do July packages cost?
July Umrah packages mostly depend on the hotel, flights, and room type you chose. Short trips or longer stays also impact the cost. Many US pilgrims start planning early, which helps them save money.
Price drivers (season, hotel class, flights, room type)
Prices mainly change based on these factors
- Season you choose. July heat and Hajj overlap may cost higher
- Hotel class. 3★ can be cheaper than 5★ premium
- Flights. Direct may cost more than 1-stop from US cities
- Room types including quad, double or connecting rooms
With-flights vs land-only — when to choose each
Flight-inclusive offers coordinated transfers, which is simple for US travelers. Land-only can be cheaper if travelers book flights independently.
It is better to choose inclusive flights if you are aged, travelling with a family, or just want comfort. For more information and options, go and check out our Umrah with flights page.

Is July a good time for Umrah?
July can be a peak moment of heat, but is manageable with proper planning for heat and crowds. The weather in Makkah and Madinah is hot, often exceeding 40°C, but many pilgrims complete Umrah comfortably with our Umrah Packages for July.
Heat & crowd considerations + hydration/scheduling tips
As July is considered to be the peak month of summer, proper planning helps you handle heat and crowds.
