How to
Steps in order
- 1File documents: passport, visa, vaccines, vouchers, emergency contacts.
- 2Pack ihram kit, unscented toiletries and tawaf-proof footwear.
- 3Prepare medicines, ORS and first-aid with prescriptions.
- 4Load worship kit: prayer mat, dua pages, tasbih, shoe bag.
Documents and money
Passport, visa, vaccination cards, hotel and transport vouchers (printed + phone copies), a money belt with riyals and a backup card, and emergency contacts written on paper - phones die, paper does not.
Keep medicines in original packaging with prescriptions; carry a basic first-aid kit, ORS sachets and pain relief - Mina’s clinics handle the rest.
Worship kit
Two ihram sets (men), unscented soap and toiletries, prayer mat, small Quran or dua book, tasbih counter, slippers that survive tawaf marble, and a drawstring bag for shoes at mosque doors.
