Packing for Umrah is unique. You need specific items you wouldn't take on a normal holiday.
Essentials
- Shoe Bag: A drawstring bag to carry your slippers inside the Haram. (Critical).
- Unscented Soap/Deo: For Ihram state.
- Power Bank: You will be out all day using maps/Nusuk.
- Light Sweater: Madinah mornings can be chilly.
Medicine Kit
- Painkillers (Walking causes sore legs/back).
- Anti-Chafing Cream (Vaseline) for men.
- Flu/Cold meds (The "Umrah Flu" is real).
- Rehydration Salts (Electrolytes).
