Going to Hajj This Year…


This year my Butootee has decided to go to Hajj insha2 Allah. Its his first time going to 7ajj to "explore" before he takes me in the years to come insha2 Allah :D


So he has done his homework and searched for the best 7amla to take him to Mecca especially considering he is going all alone. He chose a small 7amla called Labeek and will be sharing his room with two other men he doesn't know. So recently all we've been doing is preparing for his trip.


First he had to go get his 7ajj vaccinations which took us several days going from one medical center to another until we found the right one. Then we had to go buy him the 7ajj e7ram's. He bought 3 only but I think we need to buy him some more. he bought white slippers and a black belt so I guess his e7ram outfit is complete? Bought the dettol wipes as well and the 7amla gave him a big bag and a handbag that must be packed and ready to be shipped on October the 27th.


What else do people buy to prepare for 7ajj? I remember hearing about a scent-free toiletry kit for 7ajj but I don't know from where to buy it. Tried Al-Shaye3 and they only had the deodorant. I suppose he needs towels mo? and a clean change of clothes for when he finishes his 7ajj rituals. What about socks? Or blankets?


Have you been to 7ajj before? Is there something you recommend we buy? and from where?
