Use these questions as a starting point, then confirm the current details with your authorised operator and official sources.
Confirm the official Hajj booking and authorisation route for your nationality and country of residence before paying for travel. Ask who is responsible for your Hajj permit, visa, accommodation and support in Saudi Arabia. Keep written copies of confirmed arrangements.
Check your passport validity and the name, date of birth and passport number shown on every booking. Save your authorised Hajj documents, flight details, hotel addresses and operator contact information in secure digital and paper copies. Check the current official requirements for your season.
Hajj can involve long walks, heat and crowded spaces. Discuss ongoing conditions, medication, vaccinations and mobility needs with a qualified clinician well ahead of departure. Ask your group how it supports pilgrims who need a slower pace or accessible transport.
Learn where your journey requires you to enter Ihram and what restrictions apply. Pack suitable clothing, comfortable footwear, unscented essentials where needed, medication in its original packaging, and a small day bag. Confirm baggage limits and airline rules before packing.
Plan how you will pay for personal expenses and keep a backup payment method. Check mobile roaming or a local SIM option. Share your itinerary and emergency contact details with someone you trust, and save your group leader’s number offline.
Reconfirm flights, transfers, meeting points, hotel names, room arrangements and the itinerary for Makkah, Mina, Arafat and Madinah. Ask what happens if a flight is delayed or a pilgrim becomes unwell. Keep enough time to review the rites with a qualified guide.
Share your plans and we will help you understand the available options.
