Accomodations and Safety Tips

  1. Accommodation in Mina: In the tent city of Mina, expect shared tents housing around 30 individuals, regardless of gender and separated by gender. Privacy is minimal, with snoring and makeshift mattresses on the ground rather than beds.

  2. Safety Precautions: To avoid getting lost, write your hotel address on a piece of paper and keep it in your waist bag. For safety, share your contact details with your group members.

  3. Shoe and Bag Security: When entering Masjid al-Haram or Masjid an-Nabawi, carry a small shoe bag or backpack to store your shoes. Avoid leaving belongings unattended, as they may be lost or taken accidentally or intentionally.

  4. Safety with Bags: Carry a small waist or shoulder bag and hold it securely in front of you. Be cautious of thieves attempting to steal from bags during Tawaf or elsewhere.

  5. Communication with Group: Inform your group members of your whereabouts before exploring independently. This helps prevent unnecessary worry and ensures everyone stays together.
