Tips & Tricks
Bring max 3+1 set of clothes only.
You don't need your laptop. Handphone is enough. Mashaallah Mekah is full of people and some shops open 24hours
1000 riyal is enough for normal usage - 2 person (2-3kg of kurma ajwa, 3-4 jubah, souvenir, snacks and foods)
Do lots of ajr (good deeds) - pass tissue paper, provide / give away water
Learn how to stop people crossing your sujud
'Mobily' Prepaid, 40 dirham only. Good enough.
Keep lots of loose change always to give charity
Do not bring thing that you can buy there. Keep some space in your luggage. Bring extra hand carry bag, limit is 7kg.
Abaya (jubah perempuan) price is 5-20 dirham cheaper in Mekah - depends on the price. e.g. 100 -> 80. 30->25.
But Medinah's abaya is more beautiful than in Mekah.
Baby stroller not allowed - carry baby or rent wheelchair.
Baby will start crying after takbiratul ihram
Not many money changer available in Mekah.
2 part of mosque (Near mount Marwah, near Hotel Hilton) Like 2 different part of the world
Cold and normal temp zamzam water available
Prepare to listen these words: hajjhi, hajjhah, sweu sweu
Pushing wheelchair service 200 dirham for tawaf and sa'e
A lot of people can speak Malay. Indeed you may get better discount if you speak / nego in Malay
Foods are not allowed in the Mosque
Miqat at Tana'im (Masjid Aisyah) is among the nearest mosque 7km. Cost range from 3 to 30 riyal per person.
For Men: If you intend to perform Umrah more than once, then do not clean shave your head the first time. Spare the clean shave for the final Umrah. Normal package from Malaysia will have options to perform Umrah 3 times.
Lots of Barber shops available outside of the Mosque, near Mount Marwah -> 4-5 shops in a row.
Solah timing a bit late in Medinah (gap between azan and iqamah) compare to Mekah
Kurma Nabi. 1kg Price is 120 dirham, anything cheaper than this is low quality
You can eat any amount of kurma nabi at ladang kurma for free
