One of the most common questions we receive at Dar El Mecca Travel is: how much does Umrah cost from the USA? The honest answer is that it depends on several factors — your departure city, the time of year, the hotel category you choose, and whether you want a full-service package or a land-only option. This guide breaks it all down so there are no surprises.
The Short Answer: What to Expect in 2026
For a full Umrah package from the USA in 2026 — including round-trip airfare, 8 nights in 5-star hotels, Saudi visa, ground transportation, and Imam-led guidance — you can expect to pay between $2,500 and $3,500 per person for quad occupancy. Prices rise with fewer roommates and during peak travel periods.
| Room Type | Low Season | High Season (Ramadan / Thanksgiving) |
|---|---|---|
| Quad (4 per room) | $2,500 – $2,800 | $3,200 – $3,800 |
| Triple (3 per room) | $2,600 – $2,950 | $3,400 – $4,000 |
| Double (2 per room) | $2,800 – $3,200 | $3,600 – $4,500 |
What Is Included in an Umrah Package Price?
A full-service Umrah package from a reputable US agency typically covers the following:
- •Round-trip international airfare from major US departure cities (IAD, JFK, ORD)
- •Hotel accommodations in Madinah (4 nights) and Makkah (4 nights) at 5-star properties
- •Saudi tourist visa fee
- •Haramain High-Speed Train from Madinah to Makkah
- •Luxury ground transportation throughout Saudi Arabia
- •Guided Ziyarat (tours of holy sites) in both Madinah and Makkah
- •Buffet breakfast daily
- •Imam-led spiritual guidance throughout the journey
What Is NOT Included (and What It Costs)
Understanding what is excluded helps you budget more accurately for the full cost of your trip:
- •Lunch and dinner — budget $15–$25 per day per person in Saudi Arabia
- •Saudi SIM card — approximately $15–$25 for a prepaid data card
- •Optional personal tours or shopping excursions
- •Travel insurance — strongly recommended, typically $80–$200
- •Personal expenses and tips for guides and drivers
- •Ihram garments if you don't already own them (men) — around $20–$40
How Airfare Affects the Total Cost
Airfare is often the largest variable in an Umrah package. Flights from the US East Coast to Jeddah (JED) or Madinah (MED) typically range from $900 to $1,600 per person round-trip, depending on the season and carrier. Carriers like Saudia, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, and Qatar Airways are common for this route.
Our full packages lock in group airfare rates, which are often lower than what you would find booking independently. If you already have miles or a preferred airline, consider our land-only package — which starts at around $1,045 per person and covers everything except international flights.
How Hotel Choice Affects the Price
In Makkah, properties directly attached to or overlooking Masjid al-Haram — like Swissotel Al Maqam in the Abraj Al Bait complex — command premium prices because of their proximity. A room with a Ka'bah view can cost significantly more per night than one a 10-minute walk away. Our packages focus on 5-star properties within easy walking distance of the Haram, balancing access with value.
When Is the Most Affordable Time to Perform Umrah from the USA?
The most affordable months for Umrah from the USA are typically June through August and late September through mid-October. These shoulder periods fall outside the peak Ramadan window and the popular November–December travel season. Prices during these months are often 15–25% lower than peak times.
The most expensive periods are Ramadan (typically March–April in 2026), the Thanksgiving/holiday window in November–December, and the weeks immediately before Hajj season.
Is There a Payment Plan Option?
Yes. At Dar El Mecca Travel, we offer flexible payment plans that allow you to secure your spot with a deposit and pay the remainder in installments leading up to your departure. Contact us to discuss what works for your situation.
Is Umrah Worth the Cost?
This is a deeply personal question. What we hear from pilgrims again and again is that no experience in their lives has compared to standing in front of the Ka'bah, praying in Masjid al-Nabawi, and walking the same paths as generations of believers before them. The financial cost is real — but for most, the spiritual return is immeasurable. If you are ready to take that step, our team is here to make it as smooth and affordable as possible.
