In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is the largest country due to its territory. It has four seasons in one year. Saudi Arabia has a desert climate that is different from the European countries. Their summers are hot and dry and the winters are mild. It is very important to choose the right season for Umrah. June, July, and August are the three months of summer and the temperature goes up to 115 F0 in a day, it is difficult for people from the UK to experience such hot temperatures. All the rituals of Umrah are performed in Masjid-ul-Haram so there is no issue to perform Umrah but it is difficult to visit all the Ziyarat places and explore the historic valleys of Saudi Arabia. Every year millions of Muslims travel with Umrah packages all-inclusive from all over the world to perform the minor pilgrimage.
Following are the best seasons to perform Umrah from the UK.
Ramazan is the peak season of the year:

During this holy month, the first few revelations of the Quran were revealed. Muslims from the UK and all around the world try to improve their spiritual relation with Allah by fasting. In Makkah and Madinah both holy mosques are full of the crowd during this month. Especially the last 10 days of Ramazan are the most expensive days, of the whole year. So Muslim pilgrims from the UK should book the Ramazan Umrah package almost 3 to 4 months earlier.
