Expected Hajj 2027 Calendar
Hajj 2027 is projected to fall in May 2027, based on the Islamic lunar calendar and current astronomical estimates. Final dates will be confirmed by moon sighting closer to the time.
| Key Event | Expected Date (provisional) |
|---|---|
| 1st Dhul Hijjah 1448 AH | ~Monday, 10 May 2027 |
| Day of Arafat (9th Dhul Hijjah) | ~Tuesday, 18 May 2027 |
| Eid al-Adha (10th Dhul Hijjah) | ~Wednesday, 19 May 2027 |
| Hajj departure (typical UK) | ~1–3 days before Arafat |
| Hajj return (typical UK) | ~3–5 days after Eid |
These are estimates. The official Hajj 2027 dates will be announced by the Saudi Supreme Court and confirmed by the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah moon.

Planning from Hajj 2027 Dates Backwards
The most practical way to use the calendar is to plan backwards from the confirmed Hajj period:
- Booking deadline: ~Early 2027 (at least 3–4 months before Hajj)
- Visa window: ~2–4 months before Hajj
- Package comparison window: Late 2026 – Early 2027
- Early interest registration: Right now
Each stage has its own lead time. Starting now means you avoid the stress of compressed timelines when packages go live.
Not Sure About Your Dates Yet?
That is completely normal for this stage. Hajj 2027 is still over a year away on the Gregorian calendar, but the Islamic calendar makes the season predictable enough for structured preparation. Register your interest and we will keep you updated as the 2027 calendar milestones approach.
