Preparing to perform Hajj or Umrah can feel overwhelming. Organisation is key, and having all of your essential items packed together will allow you to focus on what’s important - devoting yourself to prayer and the unforgettable journey ahead.
In the following post, we’re going to outline 5 of the most essential items to take with you on Hajj, and what you can use to keep them safe while travelling around.
5 Essential Items For Your Journey
1. Passport
Your passport is your key to enter and leave the country, so it’s incredibly important to keep safe. You’re going to need to make sure you take your passport, and keep it secure throughout your entire journey.
2. Money
You’re going to need to carry some money with you, whether this is Saudi Riyals, a debit or credit card, or currency from your own country. It’s important to make a budget and figure out what funds you’ll have at different parts of your journey.
3. Emergency Contact Numbers
A small book with a list of important contact numbers can go a long way to helping you out. If you’re not used to travelling in Saudi Arabia, then you should know that there are some difficult parts of the journey, where you might need assistance. Keeping these emergency contact numbers at hold can help you in a pinch.
4. Valid Tickets
You’re also going to want to ensure that you have any valid tickets you will need for various parts of your journey in order. Keeping track of these, and having them at hand to produce when you need, will make your entire journey much easier.
5. Phone and/or Mobile Device
In our modern age, your phone and/or mobile device is important for many reasons. You can take photos, access satellite maps, and keep in contact with your loved ones back home. These devices can be expensive, so remember to keep an eye on them throughout your journey to make sure they keep them charged. Also, bear in mind to bring a smaller device if you can, as something large like an ipad will be too large to take around with you during Ihram.
