Documents, Ihram clothing, comfortable footwear and the small essentials that make a big difference — everything to pack before your Umrah journey.
Packing well means you can focus on worship rather than worrying about what you left behind. Use this checklist as a starting point and adjust it for the season you travel in.
Documents
- Passport (check it is valid for at least 6 months from your travel date)
- Printed copy of your Umrah visa and flight tickets
- Hotel confirmations and your UmrahMiles booking reference
- Vaccination certificates required at the time of travel
- Travel insurance details
Clothing
- Two sets of Ihram for men, and a belt or pouch
- Loose, modest and breathable clothing
- A light jacket — hotels and the Haram can be cool with air-conditioning
- Comfortable sandals that are easy to slip off, plus a small shoe bag
Health & comfort
- Any regular medication in your hand luggage, with prescriptions
- Unscented soap, lip balm and sun cream for while you are in Ihram
- Plasters and blister care — you will walk a lot!
- A refillable water bottle for Zamzam
Useful extras
- A small prayer mat and pocket dua book
- Power bank and a UK-to-Saudi plug adaptor (Type G sockets are common)
- A little cash in Saudi Riyals for arrival
