Packing light but smart is one of the best things you can do for your Hajj. You will walk a lot, share rooms and move between Makkah, Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah, so every item should earn its place.
Essentials
- Two sets of Ihram (for men) and comfortable, modest clothing (for women)
- Comfortable sandals that you have already worn in
- A small shoulder bag for documents, money and your phone
- Unscented soap, toothbrush and other toiletries
Health
- Your regular medicines, with a copy of the prescription
- Oral rehydration salts, plasters and pain relief
- A small umbrella for shade
Nice to have
- A light prayer mat and a pocket Quran or dua book
- A power bank and charging cable
- A refillable water bottle
Tip: label your bags clearly with your name, agency name and phone number.
