What to Pack

Light, modest and breathable clothing, ihram garments with a spare set, and comfortable shoes or sandals that are easy to slip off. Plain, unadorned clothing is best, particularly in and around the mosques.

Unscented toiletries for the days in ihram, prescribed medication, a small drawstring bag for shoes, a refillable water bottle, a power bank, a plug adaptor and sun protection.

Leave room in your case for dates, prayer mats and gifts, and check your airline's current rules on carrying Zamzam water before you travel.
