When selecting an umrah package, remember to pack:
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Slip-on sandals for prayers
- Lightweight socks
- Daily clothing (modest and weather-appropriate)
- Head coverings for women
- Sun protection (hat, sunglasses)
Note for Men: According to Ihram restrictions, men are prohibited from wearing stitched clothing during the pilgrimage. Additionally, men are required to wear sandals that leave the ankles and the top of the foot exposed. Based on this, it is essential to ensure that the sandals worn during Ihram meet these conditions, as wearing closed shoes would violate Ihram rules.

- Unscented soap and shampoo (for Ihram periods)
