Ramadan 2026 Hotel Prices in Makkah Expected to Surge by 40% — Travel Experts Warn

MAKKAH, Saudi Arabia - EntSun -- Pilgrims planning Umrah during Ramadan 2026 are being urged to book early as hotel prices in Makkah are projected to rise by up to 40%, according to new market insights released by www.hotelsinmakkah.com, a leading accommodation guide for Umrah travelers.

Ramadan, expected to begin in mid-February 2026, is traditionally the busiest season for religious tourism in Saudi Arabia. Analysts say demand this year is accelerating faster than usual due to increased international travel, limited hotel inventory near Masjid al-Haram, and early booking surges from major Umrah-sending countries.

"Ramadan is always peak season, but 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive years we've seen," said a senior travel analyst at HotelsinMakkah.com. "Hotels closest to the Haram are already filling up months in advance, and late bookers should expect premium pricing or very limited availability."
