Hotel rooms are sold as double, triple or quad — the Makkah and Madinah hotels have double rooms, and an extra bed is added for triple and quad. In our Aziziya building the average is four people to a room, with family rooms available on supplement.

Your accommodation is arranged by Universal Brothers. There are different levels — from hotels in front of the Haram (InterContinental, Fairmont, Swissotel, Makkah Tower, Voco, Pullman Zamzam) to our A-Class Aziziya building. The package you select names the hotel.

Mina is a well-organised tent city with sectors and a secure precinct. Our camp is in Zone 1, Maktab A-Category, near the Jamarat: air-conditioned tents with an average of 16 people to a tent, sofa-cum-beds of 50–55 cm, and private toilets for our group.

Travel within Saudi Arabia is highly restricted during Hajj. Pilgrims travel between Makkah, Madinah, the tent cities of Mina and Arafat, and Muzdalifah. Taxis are available at extra cost. From our Aziziya building there is a shuttle to the Haram.

Makkah to Mina is about 8 kilometres (5 miles); depending on traffic it can take 2 to 4 hours, and walking is sometimes quicker. Mina to Arafat is about 14.4 kilometres (9 miles).

Universal Brothers provides all the transport.

The Saudi Ministry of Health requires every visitor to hold a valid vaccination certificate against meningococcal meningitis, issued not more than three years and not less than 10 days before arrival. Travellers arriving from countries known to be infected with yellow fever must also present a valid yellow fever certificate.

Any meningitis vaccine is valid, along with anything else required by the K.S.A. or the W.H.O.

Three years.

A child of 10 years or younger does not need the vaccine.

At any leading pharmacy chain. Universal Brothers also arranges meningitis vaccinations for our travellers.

There are many hospitals providing free healthcare for pilgrims.

Most over-the-counter medicine is available at pharmacies in Makkah. If you are used to a particular brand, or take prescribed medication, bring adequate supplies with you.

Hajj is physically demanding and should be undertaken only by those fit enough to perform the rites. That said, many disabled Muslims do perform Hajj with adequate preparation — please discuss your needs with us in detail before booking. Jeddah airport has facilities for the disabled. Buses are not equipped for wheelchairs, and hotels and buildings are generally not equipped either, apart from some of the top hotels. The Grand Mosque in Makkah is well equipped, with escalators and ramps; wheelchairs are free of charge there, though anyone pushing one will charge for the service.

For men, Ihram is two pieces of white sheet. Wrap the larger sheet around the waist to cover the body from the navel to the ankles, secured with a belt or a strip of the same fabric, and drape the other over the back and shoulders. Wear sandals or shoes that do not cover the ankles. The head is not covered and no underwear is worn. White is preferred.

Women may make Ihram in any dress that fulfils the Islamic conditions of public dress, of any colour. The hands and face stay uncovered; the head is covered.

A Muhrim keeps the head uncovered at all times (women keep the head covered); does not shave, cut hair, clip nails, use perfume or wear sewn clothes of any kind; does not perform a marriage or get married; does not kill an animal of any kind unless it poses a danger; and does not enter into conjugal relations, avoiding suggestive talk or gestures, remaining focused on Hajj.

The essentials are two or three sets of Ihram — white plain cloth, 100% cotton or light terry-cloth, cool to wear and absorbent. Take light, airy clothes for street wear: enough to be comfortable, but do not burden yourself, as professional laundry is available in Saudi Arabia. For Hajj in the winter months, take some woollen clothing, as the early mornings are cool. Also take three or four pairs of rubber slippers for use during Ihram, a couple of pairs of comfortable shoes or sandals for walking, two large and two small towels, and — if you wish — a sleeping bag, an inflatable pillow and thick sheets.

Perishable or un-canned food in large quantities is not allowed. Alcohol and drugs must never be brought into the Kingdom — the punishments are severe and can include capital punishment.

There are professional laundry services, though few coin-operated launderettes. Detergent for light clothing is available in the local market.

Wear your ID card at all times, from your departure from Pakistan until you leave Saudi Arabia, so any Universal Brothers representative can recognise you and help you. The luggage tags let your luggage be identified throughout the trip.

The Saudi riyal, made up of 100 halalas. Banknotes come in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 riyals, and coins in 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 halalas. The riyal has been fixed against the US dollar since 1986.

Yes — branches of several large national and international banks.

Usually 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, Saturday to Wednesday, and Thursday mornings only.

Yes.

Travellers' cheques can be cashed almost anywhere. Since your passport is held for the duration of your stay by the Saudi authorities in Jeddah, the ID card issued by your Tawafa Establishment is used for cashing cheques. Keep the purchase receipt with you — without it, cashing them is harder.

Very hot in the summer months, reaching the upper 40s °C (over 100 °F) during the day. In winter the weather is mild, but early mornings and late nights can be cold.

You may drink bottled mineral water or from the water fountains throughout the holy sites. Boiled or sterilised water is not a must. Zamzam water is always safe.

Avoid exposed food and meat from the counter. Eat cooked meat and fish, preferably hot; cook vegetables and peel fruit; and always boil milk. In our own camp, meals are a full-board buffet of Pakistani and continental cuisine in Mina and Arafat, and in the Aziziya building.

Yes. SIM cards valid for a month are available over the counter in most phone shops in Makkah and Madinah. Before leaving, make sure your phone accepts any SIM card rather than being tied to one network.

Pilgrim Assistance Booths are set up all over and will help you find your hotel or tent. Keep your ID card and bracelet with you at all times, and agree with your group on a well-known landmark to gather at if anyone gets separated.
