Packing for Hajj was built on fear. Try not to over pack because you are afraid of not having something. Here are the things I packed and used. I personally think anything more for me was extra weight.
- 18 Liter Day Backpack
- 3 Liter Water reservoir (Filled with ZamZam as needed), 2 Liter is more than enough
- Protein Bars (I brought 24 but consumed only 11, there was plenty of food except at Haram, Arafah, Muzdalifah
- Umbrella with UV Protection
- Power bank (minimum 2x your Phone Battery capacity, ex. iPhone 14 Max is 4323 mAh so get at least 9000 mAh capacity power bank)
- Electrolytes Powder (LMNT, DripDrop, Dr. Berg, etc.)
- Medicine (Ibuprofen, DayQuil, NyQuil, Tums, etc.)
- Flushable wipes
- Unscented deodorant
- Toiletries (Toothbrush*, Toothpaste*, floss, etc.)
- Vaseline / Aquaphor stick
- Sleeping Essentials: Ear Plugs*, Eye Mask*, Night Guard, etc.
Extras – nice to haves:
- Blister Bandaid
- Cooling Towel
- Inflatable Pillow (for comfort)
- Phone Heat protection pouch
- Portable Fan (I brought one with a built in Power Bank but only used it once for 2 minutes).
