Decided you want to perform Umrah but are unsure about what to pack? Look no further than these handy tips:
Dress Appropriately
Whether you choose to travel in the warmer months or the cooler ones, packing according to the temperature in Saudi Arabia is highly advised. Temperatures can reach approximately 50 degrees in summer, and winter tends to be warmer than winter in the UK, so be sure to pack breathable items and lightweight layering pieces. Be mindful of the dress code by packing modest, loose-fitting clothing. Additionally, you will most likely walk a lot when in Mecca and Medina, so it’s a good idea to bring along comfortable shoes.
Home Comforts
The big crowds can sometimes lead to feelings of overstimulation and anxiety. To combat these feelings, bring familiar snacks and cosy loungewear for little moments of joy when enjoying downtime in your hotel.
Travel Essentials
A few key items to pack to make your experience more comfortable are a reusable water bottle, travel adapters, a portable power bank, a mini electric fan for warmer months, and a first-aid kit.
