Question Planning My Hajj to Mecca

[Misty M]

I’m excited to share that I'm finally going to perform my Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca! I'm considering my options between staying on a boat or camping during the trip. I have about 10-14 days available and some funds to work with, but I'm definitely looking for recommendations on what to do. If you've been before, what do you suggest? Also, any tips for a first-time pilgrim navigating this experience would be awesome. Cheers!

How exciting! Performing Hajj is a significant experience. For your stay, camping can offer a unique vibe and great camaraderie with fellow pilgrims, while a boat might provide a more comfortable environment. Have you thought about the logistics of each option? Also, make sure to stay hydrated and wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. Connecting with fellow pilgrims can also enhance your experience—maybe join a group for some of the rituals! What part of the pilgrimage are you most looking forward to?
