Some tips before you go to hajj:
- PREPARE yourself physically for alot of walking and physical exercise. You may be walking back and forth from your hotel to the Haram at least 10 times a day, not to mention logging Tawafs and Sai'ys that come out to miles in the end
- PREPARE yourself mentally for alot of frustration, mental anguish, annoyance and anger. To obtain a Hajj Mabrur you must not let these things interfere with your goal.
- Do not bring alot of clothes. all you really need is 3-4 jilbabs and a few clothes underneath that you can mix and match. Bring enough socks and underthings. You can always wash clothes if you have to.
- Also bring some good chappals/shibshib for when you are going to the haram. Don't overpack your suitcase. You won't be able to get it all back home especially if you buy things. You can always give away some of your clothes/shoes while there or try this well-known travelling tip: bring an extra empty suitcase/bag with you or buy one there.
- A note for Madina. The weather there is very different from Makkah. Madina is much cooler and it was extremely COLD around Fajr, so bring a sweatshirt/sweater and a few warm clothes so you don't get sick.
- Do not change money before you go. There are tons of exchanges there that you can go to on the streets and you'll get a better rate than the usual bank rate too.
- Do bring a cheap plastic bag/canvas bag to put your shoes and janamaz (prayer rug) and quran in when you go into the haram.
- Do not waste your time shopping. You're only in Makkah once in your life.
- Make a list of what gifts you have to give to whom beforehand and write down what you need to buy and quantities. That way you won't waste alot of time trying to decide what to get for who.
- Some common gifts: (Make a list of what gifts you have to give to whom beforehand and write down what you need to buy and quantities.)
Dates (yes they have chocolate covered dates )
Prayer Rugs (called sajadahs there)
Jewelry (gold, fake and everything in between)
Metal work (tea sets etc)
Incense Perfumes & Perfume bottles
Thobes, kufis, cards, zamzam water, tasbeeh beads, hijabs, jilbabs, desi (IndoPak) dresses, islmic books,watches.

I do love the way you have presented this concern and it does offer me

personally some fodder for consideration. Yet, thank you for this excellent

point and even though I do not agree with this in totality, I respect your

standpoint.
