Staying Healthy During Hajj and Umrah

Heat, crowds and long walks can be tiring. Simple habits that help pilgrims stay healthy and focused on their worship.

Staying Healthy During Hajj and Umrah

Hajj and Umrah are physically demanding. Most health problems pilgrims face can be prevented with a little planning.

Before you travel

  • See your doctor for a check-up and to discuss any long-term conditions.
  • Complete the required vaccinations on time.
  • Start walking daily a few weeks before departure to build stamina.

During the journey

  • Drink water often, even when you do not feel thirsty.
  • Use shade: an umbrella helps a lot in the midday sun.
  • Rest when you can and avoid the most crowded times if your health is weak.
  • Wash your hands regularly and consider a mask in crowds.
