What to Bring

A plain packing list for Umrah and Hajj. Pack light: you will walk a lot.

This page gives general information only. For any question about the rules of ihram in your own case, please meet the imam of your nearest masjid and let him guide you.

Power in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia uses 230 volts at 60 hertz. The standard socket is type G, with three square pins (the same as the United Kingdom). Some older buildings still have other sockets, so a universal adapter is the safe choice.
