How much does Umrah cost from the USA in 2026–2027?

Real Umrah package prices from US operators by season, what's included, the hidden extras (visa, meals, transfers) and how to budget the true cost per person.

Updated · by the UmrahFinder team

The short answer

Across 44 packages from US operators that include flights, the all-in price per person in a quad room ranges from $2,050–$4,800, with a typical package at $2,999. A double room usually adds $350–$500 per person. Ramadan, and especially the last ten nights, costs the most.

"All-in" here means the package price plus the Umrah visa when the operator charges it separately. It does not include meals the package leaves out, which is where budgets usually slip.

These are typical estimates for Makkah and Madinah, not quotes. On a breakfast-only package without transfers, expect to spend roughly $250–$450 more per person than the advertised price.

What makes one package cost more than another

  • Hotel distance to the Haram. Clock Tower and Jabal Omar hotels, 2–5 minutes away, cost more than hotels 15 minutes out.
  • Direct flights. Nonstop Saudia flights from JFK, IAD and LAX save 4–8 hours each way. Direct packages we track range $2,490–$4,800.
  • Room sharing. Quad is cheapest; double and single rooms cost noticeably more per person.
  • Dates. Ramadan and US school holidays push prices up; quieter weeks are cheaper.
  • Inclusions. Visa, dinner, transfers, ziyarat and a scholar all cost money; packages without them look cheaper on paper.

Is it cheaper to go on your own?

Sometimes. US citizens can enter on the Saudi tourist eVisa (about SAR 535, roughly $140, including mandatory insurance) and book a free Umrah permit in the Nusuk app, then book flights and hotels themselves. You save the operator's margin but lose the guide, transfers and group support, and you carry the risk if plans change. See our Umrah visa guide for US citizens.
