✨ Save this reel if you’re planning to perform Umrah! 🕋🤍
After completing our Umrah, here are 5 tips I wish everyone knew before traveling to Makkah & Madinah:
1. Pack wisely
Pack according to your stay and don’t forget a medicine pouch and a small backpack for your daily essentials.
🏨 2. Stay close to the Haram
Choose a hotel within walking distance to save your energy for ibadah instead of long walks.
🚻 3. Use the Clock Tower washrooms
Located on the 1st floor, they’re cleaner, less crowded, have commodes, and separate wudu areas for men and women.
💧 4. Drink plenty of Zamzam
Get a 5 Riyal water container, fill it with Zamzam, and keep it in your hotel room so you can drink it throughout the day.
🕋 5. Want to pray in the Mataaf? Arrive early!
Go down at least one hour before Salah because the entrances usually close 30–45 minutes before prayer.
🚄 Bonus Tip: Travel between Makkah & Madinah using the Haramain High-Speed Railway. It’s comfortable, fast (around 2.5–3 hours), and also stops at Jeddah Airport. Booking online in advance can often get you better fares.
May Allah accept everyone’s Umrah and invite us all again and again. Ameen. 🤲🤍
