Quick answer: Umrah from the USA typically costs $2,000–$6,000 per person for an all-inclusive package (flights, hotels, visa, and transport) in 2026. Budget trips can start near $1,800, while premium Ramadan packages with 5-star hotels beside the Haram can exceed $8,000. Booking flights and hotels yourself can lower the total to around $1,500–$2,500.
The final price depends on four things: the season you travel, how close your hotel is to Masjid al-Haram, how long you stay, and your departure city. Below is a full 2026 breakdown so you can budget accurately before you book.

What affects the price of Umrah?
Five factors explain almost every price difference between one Umrah trip and another:
- Season. Ramadan — especially the last 10 nights — is the most expensive time of year. The cheapest months are typically the low season outside Ramadan and school holidays.
- Hotel distance to the Haram. A room overlooking Masjid al-Haram can cost several times more than a hotel a 15-minute walk away.
- Trip length. Most packages run 10–14 nights split between Makkah and Madinah. Shorter trips cost less but leave little buffer.
- Departure city. Direct-flight hubs like New York, Chicago, Houston, and Washington, D.C. are usually cheaper than smaller regional airports.
- Group vs. private. Large group packages lower the per-person price; private or family packages cost more but offer flexibility.
How much does the Umrah visa cost from the USA?
Since Saudi Arabia opened Umrah to the tourist e-visa and the Nusuk platform, most US pilgrims no longer need a dedicated Umrah visa agent. The tourist e-visa generally costs around $100–$160 including fees and mandatory insurance, though exact fees change. Many packages bundle the visa into the total price. See the full Umrah visa guide for US pilgrims.
How much does Umrah cost for a family of four?
As a planning rule, multiply the per-person package price by the number of travelers, then subtract roughly 10–20% because families share hotel rooms. A family of four on a standard package should budget around $10,000–$16,000 in 2026, before extras like gifts, food, and ziyarah tours.
What is the cheapest time to perform Umrah?
The lowest prices are usually found outside Ramadan and outside US school holidays, when both airfare and Makkah hotel rates drop. Traveling mid-week and booking 3–5 months ahead typically saves the most. Avoid the last 10 nights of Ramadan and the weeks around Hajj if budget is your priority.
