Deciding to embark on the journey to complete Hajj is a monumental time in every Muslim’s life; as many individuals only get to enjoy this experience once in their lifetime, it’s best practice to prepare well in advance. Doing so will enable you to enjoy a smooth, stress-free experience, allowing you to immerse yourself completely whilst on the pilgrimage. If you are thinking about Hajj travel from the UK, here’s everything you need to know:
Travel Documents
To travel for Hajj, you must have a passport with 6 months’ validity remaining, a Hajj visa and proof of necessary vaccinations. Additionally, keeping your flight, hotel, and package details on hand is highly advised.
Budgeting Accordingly
Depending on the package, Hajj can cost between £4,000 and £12,000 or more per person. Booking 6 to 12 months in advance will ensure you can secure a more favourable package at an affordable price.
What to Pack
Packing appropriately for Saudi Arabia involves factoring in weather, culture, and the activities you’re planning to do. The climate is significantly hotter than the UK, so pack lightweight, breathable clothes that uphold modesty. There will also be a lot of walking involved, so bring comfortable shoes.
