Hajj 2027 from the UK: An Early Planning Guide

Published June 29, 2026

Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for those able to perform it, and it needs far more planning than Umrah. Places are capped, demand is high, and preparation should begin well ahead of time.

Why plan early

Hajj packages are limited each year and sell out quickly. Booking early secures your place, locks in pricing, and gives you time to prepare physically, financially and spiritually.

What Hajj involves

Hajj takes place over several days in Dhul Hijjah and includes standing at Arafah, staying in Mina and Muzdalifah, the stoning of the Jamarat, Tawaf and Sa’i. It is physically demanding, so fitness and health matter.

How to prepare

  • Ensure your passport is valid well beyond your return date.
  • Begin saving early and budget for a complete package.
  • Build up your walking fitness in the months before travel.
  • Learn the rites of Hajj in detail, ideally with a course or guide.
  • Arrange any required vaccinations in good time.
