When Does Ramadan 2027 Start and End?
Ramadan 2027 is tentatively expected to begin at sunset on Sunday, February 7, 2027 (with fasting starting Monday, February 8), and conclude around Monday, March 8, 2027, marking 29 or 30 days depending on the official moon sighting.
Because the Islamic (Hijri) calendar is lunar, Ramadan shifts roughly 10-12 days earlier each Gregorian year. Ramadan 2026 falls in mid-February to mid-March, and Ramadan 2027 falls slightly earlier again, in early February to early March. Exact start and end dates are always confirmed by moon-sighting announcements a day or two beforehand, so treat any date this far out as a well-informed estimate rather than a certainty.
When Are the Last Ten Nights of Ramadan 2027?
The final ten nights of Ramadan — when Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power) is sought, typically on one of the odd nights — are tentatively expected to begin around Saturday, February 27, 2027, running through the end of the month.
This period sees the highest demand and pricing for Haramain-proximity hotels in Makkah, as pilgrims travel specifically to spend the last ten nights in worship near Masjid al-Haram.
Why Plan Your Ramadan 2027 Umrah Early
Ramadan is consistently the single busiest and most expensive Umrah season of the year. Hotel rooms with Haramain views or close walking proximity typically sell out 4-6 months ahead of the final ten nights, and visa processing during this period can take slightly longer due to overall volume.
If Ramadan 2027 dates (February-March 2027) work for your travel plans, we recommend beginning your planning by mid-to-late 2026 to secure your preferred hotel tier and room configuration before peak-season rates apply.
How This Compares to Ramadan 2026
Ramadan 2026 is tentatively expected February 18 – March 19, 2026. If you are weighing whether to travel for Ramadan 2026 or wait for Ramadan 2027, the core planning considerations are the same — book early, prioritize the final ten nights if seeking Laylat al-Qadr, and confirm your exact dates once official moon-sighting announcements are made each year.
