We heard there is a second night prayer in the last ten. When is it?

In short
Yes. In the last ten nights, Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi hold a second congregational night prayer (Qiyam or Tahajjud) late at night, after Taraweeh earlier in the evening. Many pilgrims rest between the two; a hotel close by makes that possible.

No one can name the night in advance. Laylat al-Qadr is sought in the last ten nights of Ramadan, especially the odd nights. In 2027 these are expected to begin on the evenings of 27 February and 1, 3, 5 and 7 March. Plan to be there for all of them rather than a single night.
If Ramadan 1448 begins on Monday 8 February 2027, the last ten nights begin at sunset on Saturday 27 February. The odd nights then begin on the evenings of 27 February and 1, 3, 5 and 7 March. The moon sighting can move every date by a day, so book a stay that covers the whole stretch.
Ramadan Umrah is deeply rewarding but it is the busiest and most expensive time of the season, and the last ten nights are the most crowded. Ramadan 1448 is expected around February–March 2027, subject to moon sighting.
Many pilgrims perform Umrah after Iftar or late at night, when it is cooler and they have eaten and drunk. Daytime Tawaf and Sa'i while fasting is harder, especially for elders. The Mataf is busy at night too, so pick a time between prayers rather than just before Isha or Fajr.
Yes, many pilgrims perform Umrah while fasting. It is tiring, so plan it for the cooler hours after Iftar or late at night, rest first and keep a gentle pace. Questions about fasting while travelling, or about medication and fasting, are for your scholar and your doctor.
