As packing clothes and other stuff can be a great stress sometimes and it can make you quiet furious about the entire situation so we always recommend our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters to pack all of their luggage at least a weak before setting off to this beautiful journey so that you have enough time to remind yourself of the important things and to make sure if you have packed them or not.
It’s always a good idea to keep extra copies in different places while on Hajj, for example, one in your luggage and one with you, in case you lose the one, you will have a backup copy. So we recommend you to make extra copies of important documents.
It will be for your own good if you make sure that you have got all the obligatory vaccinations done and have the certificates to prove it, as they can be requested by the authorities.
A lot of people start their Hajj journey without considering their physical state. It is extremely important to exercise before Hajj as it will be easier for you to perform your religious obligations and also enjoy more of your Hajj experience without tiredness.

What you have in your carry bag is extremely important. Some snacks and fruits for the long wait could be useful. One extra abaya, Ihram, and some hygienic products could prove life-savers. Also, as the hajj terminal doesn’t have any facilities you should definitely bring extra water, fruits, and snacks.
You can get dehydrated during your flight, so try and balance your water intake, because you might feel the need to use the bathroom often, which could give you problems when arriving.
