Understand your Umrah journey
Learn the steps and etiquette of Umrah before departure. Refer to Nusuk's guidance and discuss worship-related questions with your mutawwif or guide.
Check pre-departure arrangements
Confirm documents, visas, permit requirements and current arrangements with HTS and official sources. Also check flight routes and accommodation arrangements.
Bring practical essentials
Pack suitable clothing, ihram essentials, a small bag and shoes for use outside worship. Bring what you need to make getting around easier.
Keep your group's details
Save the names and addresses of your Makkah/Madinah hotels, your guide's number and meeting points. Let HTS know about assistance needs before the journey.
