 Here’s a curated packing list tailored for Hajj — focusing on fragrance‑free toiletries and energy‑rich snacks, exactly as veteran pilgrims recommend:

      Toiletries & Hygiene (Fragrance‑Free, Ihram‑Safe)

• Unscented soap, shampoo, deodorant – essential since perfumed products aren’t allowed in Ihram Alcohol‑free hand sanitizer & wet wipes – for hygiene between wudhu and prayers.

• Travel‑size sunscreen (fragrance‑free) – protect your skin once out of Ihram 

• Small towel, nail clipper, dental care (toothbrush, unscented toothpaste).

• Lip balm with SPF – helpful in dry, hot conditions 

---

👕 Clothing

• Ihram garments – at least two clean sets for men; women should bring modest, lightweight abayas.

• Comfortable footwear – durable slip-ons/sandals for long walks and easy Mosque access 

• Flip-flops for bathrooms, socks, extra undies, and sleepwear.

---

🎒 Carry-Ons & Daily Gear

• Daypack or cross-body bag – easier than bulky backpacks in crowds 

• Foldable stool – invaluable during long waits like at Arafat Ziplock bags & shoe bags – perfect for organizing small items or carrying shoes into mosques 

• Sun protection: wide-brimmed hat or umbrella, sunglasses.

---

🥪 Snacks & Hydration

• Non-perishable snacks: dates, nuts, granola bars, biscuits – quick energy without refrigeration Electrolyte sachets or hydration powder – help prevent dehydration 

• Reusable insulated water bottle – keeps water cool (far more practical than bladders) .

Reddit users also confirm:

“hydration powder · vitamins · paracetamol · face towel” 
“Ziplock bags to fill with ice for cooling down … electrolyte sachets”

💊 Health & First Aid

• Basic first‑aid kit: pain relievers, blister plasters, antiseptic wipes, anti-diarrhea meds (e.g., Imodium), allergy meds.

• Prescription meds with copies of prescriptions.

• Cooling mist or spray fan – very helpful in hot tent city 

• Mini personal fan or battery-powered fan, plus power bank and outlet adapter 

✨ Spiritual & Practical Items

• Pocket Quran or Quran app, small Dua book, prayer mat, tasbih/swift counter.

• Notebook & pen – document reflections, schedule reminders.

• Portable stool + earplugs/sleep mask – helpful in shared tents.

• Small sewing kit, safety pins for Ihram, plastic bags for laundry.

✅ Final Tips
