Planning Umrah in October is one of the smartest choices a Canadian pilgrim can make. The summer heat in Makkah has eased, the huge Ramadan crowds are still months away, and airfares from Canada drop after the busy travel season. This page explains everything you need to know: package prices, what is included, how the Umrah visa works for Canadians, and how to pick the right hotel level for your budget. If you still have questions after reading, our team in Calgary is one phone call away.

Why October Is a Smart Month for Umrah?

Every month feels different in Makkah and Madinah. October hits a sweet spot that many pilgrims miss.

The weather is easier on your body: By October, the worst of the Saudi summer is over. Daytime temperatures in Makkah usually sit in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius, and evenings around the Haram are noticeably cooler. Tawaf and Sa'i take real physical effort, and doing them in October is far more comfortable than doing them in July or August. This matters even more if you are travelling with parents, young children, or anyone with health concerns.

The crowds are lighter: Ramadan and the school holidays bring millions of pilgrims. October falls in a quieter window. You will find shorter lines at the Haram, more space for prayer near the Kaaba, easier access to the Rawdah in Madinah, and calmer hotel lobbies. Many of our past travellers tell us the peaceful pace was the best part of their October trip.

Prices are lower: Flights from Canada to Jeddah and Madinah cost less in October than during peak season, and hotels near the Haram offer better rates. That is why our October Umrah packages start at C$1,899. A price that is hard to match during Ramadan or December holidays.

Your annual leave goes further. With lighter crowds, a 7-night October trip can feel as complete as a 10-night trip in a busy month because you spend less time waiting and more time in worship.

What Every October Umrah Package Includes?

We build our packages so you never face a surprise cost after landing. Like all our all-inclusive Umrah packages, each October package from Islamic Tour Canada covers four things.

Return flights from Canada: We book your round-trip airfare from your chosen Canadian airport to Saudi Arabia. You do not need to hunt for flights yourself or worry about matching arrival times with your hotel booking.

Hotel in Makkah and Madinah: Your package includes accommodation in both holy cities at the star level you choose. Nights are split between Makkah and Madinah, and we can adjust the split to match your plans. Just tell us when you request a quote.

Umrah visa processing: We handle your Saudi Umrah visa from start to finish. You send us your documents, and we take care of the application. No confusing government portals, no guesswork.

Ground transport in Saudi Arabia: Airport pickup, the transfer between Makkah and Madinah, and drop-off for your return flight are all arranged before you leave Canada. Your driver knows your schedule, so you never have to look for a taxi with your luggage.

How Much Does Umrah Cost from Canada in October?

A complete October Umrah trip from Canada costs between C$1,899 and C$3,040 per person when booked as a package with Islamic Tour Canada. The final number depends on three things: how many nights you stay (7 to 14), your hotel level (3, 4, or 5 stars), and your departure city. A 7-night 3-star package is the most affordable way to perform Umrah, while a 14-night 5-star package gives you the most time and comfort.

Could you book everything yourself for less? In our experience, rarely. Once you add up separate flights, two hotel bookings, visa fees, and private transfers, a self-booked trip usually costs the same or more. And every problem along the way becomes yours to solve alone, often in a different time zone. A package puts one Canadian company on the hook for your whole trip.

Budget tip: October is already one of the cheaper months to travel. If you can be flexible on your exact departure date, tell us. Shifting by a few days sometimes saves a few hundred dollars per family.

Depart from Major Airports Across Canada

You do not need to live in a big city to book with us. Our October Umrah packages depart from fourteen Canadian airports, so most pilgrims can start their journey close to home.

Umrah packages from Toronto (YYZ): Toronto Pearson offers the widest range of flight options and often the best fares in the country. Most of our Ontario travellers depart from here.

Umrah packages from Calgary (YYC) and Edmonton (YEG): Our head office is in Calgary, so Alberta pilgrims get local, in-person service along with convenient departures from either city.

Umrah packages from Montréal (YUL), Ottawa (YOW), and Québec City (YQB): full coverage for Québec and eastern Ontario, with connections timed to keep your total travel time reasonable.

Umrah packages from Vancouver (YVR) and Victoria (YYJ): West Coast pilgrims fly out without first repositioning to another province.

Atlantic Canada and the Prairies: We also arrange departures from Halifax (YHZ), Winnipeg (YWG), Fredericton (YFC), Moncton (YQM), St. John's (YYT), and Gander (YQX).

When you fill out the request form, simply pick your airport, and we will quote flights from there. No matter where you start, the package price still covers your full journey door to door on the Saudi side.

Umrah Visa from Canada: What You Need to Know

Visa worry stops many families from booking. It should not for Canadians; the process is simple when a licensed agency handles it.

Canadian citizens and most Canadian permanent residents can obtain a Saudi Umrah visa without visiting an embassy. When you book a package with us, visa processing is included. Here is what we need from you: a passport valid for at least six months past your travel date, a clear passport-style photo, and your completed booking details. We prepare and submit the application, track it, and confirm your approval before your departure date.

A few honest notes from years of doing this. First, apply early because October is not peak season, but visa systems can slow down without warning. Second, check your passport expiry today, not the week before you fly. Renewing a Canadian passport can take several weeks. Third, if anyone in your group holds a non-Canadian passport, tell us at booking so we can confirm their requirements too. These three simple steps prevent almost every visa problem we have ever seen.

The Worries That Keep Pilgrims Up at Night | Solved

After years of arranging Umrah for Canadian families, we know exactly what people worry about before they book. Here is how we handle each concern.

"Will there be hidden fees?" No. The price we quote covers flights, hotel, visa, and transport. Before you pay anything, you receive a written breakdown of what is included and what is not (such as meals and personal spending). What you approve is what you pay.

"How far is the hotel from the Haram?" This is the single most important comfort factor on any Umrah trip, and it is exactly what the star levels reflect. When we send your quote, we name the actual hotels and tell you the real walking distance before you commit. You will never land in Makkah and discover your "nearby" hotel is a long shuttle ride away.

"How do I know this agency is legitimate?" Fair question. Umrah fraud is real, and every year Canadians lose money to fake operators on social media. Islamic Tour Canada is approved by the Saudi Ministry, has served pilgrims since 2017, and operates from a real office at 10816 Macleod Trail SE in Calgary, Alberta. You can call us at (780) 801-8610, message us on WhatsApp, or read reviews from past travellers on our reviews page. We are a Canadian company you can actually reach.

"What if something goes wrong during the trip?" You will have our contact numbers before you fly. Flight delay, hotel issue, transport question? You can call us. And we fix it. You are not left negotiating with a hotel desk in a language you may not speak.

"Can I travel with elderly parents or small children?" Yes, and October is one of the best months for it. The milder weather and lighter crowds make the rituals far more manageable. Tell us about your group when you book your Umrah. We can arrange rooms close together, ground-floor access where possible, and a Makkah–Madinah transfer schedule that does not exhaust anyone.

3-Star, 4-Star, or 5-Star: Which Package Should You Choose?

The right choice depends on your budget and how you like to travel. Here is our plain advice.

Choose a 3-star if your priority is performing Umrah at the lowest cost: The hotels are clean and reliable, but they sit farther from the Haram, so expect a longer walk or a short shuttle ride to prayers. For healthy adults who plan to spend most of their time at the mosque anyway, this is excellent value at C$1,899 to C$2,245.

Choose 4-star if you want a comfortable middle ground: Better rooms, better locations, and a shorter walk to the Haram, at a price (C$2,245 to C$2,595) that most families find reasonable. This is our most popular level for groups with older parents.

Choose 5-star if closeness and comfort matter most: Premium hotels near the Haram mean you can return to your room between prayers, rest properly, and step out minutes before the adhan. At C$2,355 to C$3,040, the 5-star October packages cost less than many 4-star packages do in peak months.One more reason October is a smart choice.

Not sure? Call us. We will ask a few questions about your group and give you an honest recommendation, even if it is the cheaper option.
