Umrah 2026 Closing Dates Announced

Saudi Arabia announces the Umrah 2026 season closing dates to prepare for Hajj 1447 AH. The last day to issue Umrah visas falls on March 19, with international pilgrims required to arrive by April 2 and depart by April 18. This closure allows authorities to conduct maintenance on holy sites, upgrade cooling systems, and manage crowds for the millions expected at Hajj. Pilgrims should book packages early as hotel availability tightens and visa processing slows.
