Before Umrah:

Extra piece of ihram in your hand luggage along with your prayer book

Intake Vitamin C daily and vitamin pills to strengthen your immune system

Walk 20 min daily if you're not used to being active

Make a copy of all your documents: visa, passport etc.

Travel insurance because the treatments in Saudia Arabia are expensive

Learn the janaza prayer in advance

Learn basic Arabic words such as hi, calm down, where is this and where is that

Make a prayer books with all your duas organised


During umrah:


Pack a light bag: prayer book, prayer math, water bottle, small first aid kit, snacks, energy tablets

Try and pray in the first two rows of the semi circle right next to the Kaaba. The reward is as praying in the Kaaba

Make a train with your family members i.e. hold on to each others shoulders so you don't get lost

Agree on a meeting point if anyone gets lost

Perform the umrah after maghreb and before fajr


General tips:


Pack some imodium in your bag

Eat from hotels and food courts so you don't get ill

Exchange money in shopping malls, its cheaper  

Bring a foldable chair so you can sit and pray in the disabled wheel chair area  

Free library from the library

Do your shopping in Madina

Give charity to the poor and people in need.
