Pilgrim Shopping Tips
- Buy dates in the first 2 days — you'll have time to compare quality and prices.
- Vacuum-sealed Ajwa dates last 2+ years — ideal for bringing home as gifts.
- Haggling is acceptable in bazaars and smaller shops, but not in chain stores.
- Most shops accept credit cards; bazaars prefer cash (Saudi Riyals).
