- Keep Connected with Friends and family:
To ensure connectivity with your friends and family members back home, it is advised to bring along an unlocked cellular phone with you. It should be a very basic phone so you don’t worry about losing it. You can easily buy a SIM card from Makkah or Madinah which is going to cost you around 100 Riyals. This can be very useful in emergency situations or if someone from your home town wants to contact you.
- Make sure that you take your description medicines along with you:
Albeit, pharmacies in Makkah and Madinah are easily available but at times, you might not be able to find the exact medicine you have been prescribed by the physician. Hence, to avoid any sort of inconvenience, make sure that you keep all the prescribed medicines along with you.
- Make an Identity card for yourself:
During the Hajj you will not have access to your passport. In case of emergency, for the purpose of identification you should have an Identity card or something of similar sort with you, at all times.
This Identity card will help you out in unforeseen events such as:
- In case you faint, get a heart stroke or fall unconscious.
- In case you are unable to locate your hotel or got lost.
- In case you get dragged away from the assigned group.
The very common reason why people get lost is when they get off the bus in Makkah, they are lead to Haram straight away to perform Umrah. Once they are done, they forget where they forget the way back to their hotel.
Don’t worry! Easy ways to counter such situations are stated under:
- Get the business card of the hotel as soon as you get there. Make sure that you take more than one card.
- On a paper, write down your complete name, passport number, your contact information in Makkah, Madinah, and United States, plus your cluster head's contact information. Keep this
