What precautions should I take before leaving for Hajj or Umrah?

Here are some valuable tips that our agents will pass on to you:

– If you are on medical medication, remember to take the necessary amounts for the duration of your stay.
– Bring light clothes, good shoes or sandals for the long walking sessions that await you!
– Don’t forget to take the Ihram robe with you in the cabin of the plane so that you can put it on in the plane or during the stopover
– Always carry a copy of your official documents such as identity card, residence permit, flight ticket and passport. It is also a good idea to leave a copy in France in case you lose it. A relative can then send them to you.
– Once you arrive, you are strongly advised to drink only bottled water, in addition to Zam Zam water.
– Bring with you a bottle of no-rinse, fragrance-free cleansing gel to keep your hands clean, as well as Biafine for skin irritations, which are common among pilgrims.
– A scissor is highly recommended for women so that they can easily cut a lock of their hair at the end of the state of sacredness.
– You can also bring a bottle of concentrated detergent to wash your clothes regularly.
– Don’t forget to bring some dry cakes, sweets and drinks such as tea or coffee bags for the first few days of the trip and for your stay in Mina.
– Although it is possible to carry a booklet of invocations to be said at each stage of the pilgrimage, try to memorize some or all of them.
– Within the first few hours of your arrival at the hotel, you will be given a bracelet with your contact information. If one of you gets lost on an outing, you will have to show your bracelet to a Saudi official who will take you back to your group. This bracelet must always be attached to your wrist!
– Once in the country, be careful before crossing the roads, as Saudi driving is not very similar to that of Westerners and crosswalks are not often respected.
