Hajj & Umrah Package
Hajj & Umrah health preparation and vaccination packages
Going on Hajj or Umrah is more than just a trip; for many people, it feels like the biggest spiritual moment of their lives. We help you travel with peace of mind — providing your travel vaccinations, the official certificates and tailored pre-travel health advice for your pilgrimage.
Overview
Why vaccinations are essential
Embarking on the sacred journeys of Hajj and Umrah is a profound spiritual experience for Muslims worldwide. To help you travel safely and with peace of mind, we provide the recommended travel vaccinations, the official certificates and tailored pre-travel health advice for your pilgrimage.
The Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages draw millions of individuals from diverse regions, creating an environment conducive to the spread of infectious diseases. Vaccinations are crucial to protect pilgrims from potential health risks and to prevent the transmission of diseases both during the pilgrimage and upon returning to their home countries.

Health & Safety
Tips during your pilgrimage
Beyond the specified vaccinations, pilgrims should be aware of other health risks prevalent in the Middle East:
Hydration & Sun Protection
Drink ≥ 3 litres of bottled or purified water daily. Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen.
Heat-Illness Prevention
Rest in shade during peak midday heat, and use cooling towels or portable fans.
Respiratory Hygiene
Wear a surgical mask in crowded areas, and frequently wash hands with soap or use alcohol-based sanitiser.
First-Aid Essentials
Carry adhesive blister plasters, mild painkillers, electrolyte sachets and antiseptic wipes.
For women pilgrims
Delay your period for Hajj or Umrah
Menstruation prevents women from performing certain rituals of the pilgrimage, such as Tawaf and the formal prayers. Many women choose to delay their period so they can complete Hajj or Umrah without interruption. We can arrange your period-delay tablets and your pilgrimage vaccinations in a single appointment.
Travel with peace of mind
Adhering to these guidelines and ensuring all necessary vaccinations will make your spiritual journey follow with a greater peace of mind.
