categories the essentials to take with (00:00:41) you to H inshallah so before we start if (00:00:46) you like my content Please Subscribe (00:00:48) share it with your friends and gives it (00:00:50) a thumbs up let's dive in category (00:00:53) number one is health and energy boosters (00:00:58) well H is a physically demanding (00:01:01) you should be prepared not just (00:01:03) spiritually but also physically you will (00:01:05) be doing lots of walking and the weather (00:01:07) could be really challenging last year we (00:01:10) had days that was really 50 to 53 (00:01:13) degrees so we had to be like really in (00:01:18) good shape what I took with me is let me (00:01:20) grab (00:01:24) everything number (00:01:27) one electrolyte to stay hydrated and (00:01:30) have good minerals in your (00:01:33) body number two vitamin C and I would (00:01:36) just have one every day and from this I (00:01:40) would have two every (00:01:42) day I took also with me some antibiotics (00:01:45) in case I got a heavy flu and everyone (00:01:50) advised (00:01:51) me the amoxillin (00:01:56) and the the Z through Max and and the (00:02:01) molecule is aine so I've bought these in (00:02:05) Morocco cuz here in Holland they are um (00:02:07) not available in rock stores you have to (00:02:10) have um a doctor (00:02:12) prescription so I to this is optional (00:02:15) but I found it to be really good I would (00:02:19) uh take a spoon of Manuka Honey every (00:02:23) morning and Manuka Honey is really good (00:02:26) for um enhancing improving your immune (00:02:30) Sy system so you don't get sick what I (00:02:33) also took with me and I don't have it (00:02:35) here because it's finished is magnesium (00:02:37) and magnesium is really good for uh (00:02:39) improving your muscles especially (00:02:42) because you will do uh will be doing a (00:02:44) lot of walking so I wouldn't take these (00:02:46) things in big bottles like this cuz you (00:02:48) want to take you want to go light you (00:02:50) know and and you because you will bring (00:02:53) a lot of dates and abas with you and lot (00:02:55) of uh presents as well so I've put (00:02:58) everything in this little box and I felt (00:03:01) this one really (00:03:04) good and this was like enough for the (00:03:07) whole HH uh season alhamdulillah let's (00:03:11) jump into category two so let me see I (00:03:14) have a lot of things here on the ground (00:03:17) let's start with women okay so I took (00:03:22) three pairs of sandals the first sandal (00:03:24) I took is these Merill hiking (00:03:29) sandals as you can see it's quite thick (00:03:32) here but it's very soft from here these (00:03:35) are really good for walking long (00:03:38) distances um they are open I uh wore (00:03:41) them always with socks with good (00:03:43) breathable (00:03:45) socks we walked almost uh 90 kilomet I (00:03:49) think 90 km so investing in good sandals (00:03:52) is really the key for keeping up with (00:03:54) the walkin I took also with me for mina (00:03:58) plastic sandals and you can take with (00:04:00) you (00:04:00) like everything you want I took these uh (00:04:03) Bon stock white sandals it's easy to use (00:04:07) in Mina you just put your fot in you go (00:04:09) make woodo you go have shower and then (00:04:12) it dries very (00:04:14) quickly uh after finishing the hes (00:04:17) rituals we uh went to Mecca because we (00:04:21) stayed in (00:04:22) laia and I wanted something that I could (00:04:25) just sleep in my um feet without having (00:04:28) to open and close so so I have got with (00:04:30) me these gray M sandals but they were (00:04:34) really good actually I really like them (00:04:37) I even used them in the summer vacation (00:04:40) I took them with me uh they are very (00:04:43) comfortable and very uh handy and (00:04:47) practical my husband though took two (00:04:49) pairs of sandals I only have one here to (00:04:51) show you the other one I couldn't find (00:04:53) it and it depends on your medb um what (00:04:57) are the criteria for choosing sent (00:05:00) so please check it out for yourself my (00:05:04) husband took these from the North Face (00:05:06) and he did got some uh blisters at the (00:05:10) uh back of his feet so he was really (00:05:14) happy he had other ones (00:05:16) this what I also took with me for my (00:05:20) feet was these kind of (00:05:22) socks the yoga socks I don't know how do (00:05:25) you call these plastic things and I use (00:05:28) this for ta I also saw people using (00:05:31) things like this and these are good (00:05:33) because you can this is a you can make a (00:05:36) woodo on this one W uh but I didn't have (00:05:39) this with me I had it home but I didn't (00:05:41) take it with me cuz I thought it's it's (00:05:43) it's going to be really hot but I think (00:05:45) people did it so you could do it as well (00:05:48) I (00:05:49) think uh my husband took two sets of and (00:05:53) I really advise to take two sets because (00:05:56) um they are all white and they could get (00:05:59) really dirty if you taking also and you (00:06:02) find it very difficult to wear it take (00:06:05) some safety pins you can wear safety (00:06:08) pins and some adaps allow also even Anam (00:06:11) belt but my husband didn't has Anam belt (00:06:14) with him because he's not allowed to (00:06:15) wear it but uh yeah he had uh some (00:06:18) safety pins and I was just okay and I (00:06:21) would also recommend to take theam in (00:06:24) their own packaging so they can stay (00:06:26) clean and you can use them inshallah (00:06:28) another time if you go again for or (00:06:32) for as for clothes for women I took with (00:06:35) me uh think five pairs of abayas I'm (00:06:39) actually wearing one right now let me (00:06:40) show (00:06:42) you it's very (00:06:45) white fluffy and it's uh cotton linen (00:06:49) it's a blend between cotton and linen (00:06:52) and I have took with me I think five of (00:06:55) them in different colors different (00:06:57) shapes as well this is all (00:07:01) linen uh we took as well uh five four to (00:07:05) five uh large t-shirts I could just buy (00:07:09) small as it's my size but I took large (00:07:11) just because I knew it it's going to be (00:07:13) hot and you want just to keep everything (00:07:17) Airy um yeah just take enough underwears (00:07:21) enough t-shirts take one or two P (00:07:23) Pajamas not a lot and that's like (00:07:26) everything you need on clothes as for (00:07:28) category number three we will talk about (00:07:31) the sun and the heat protection well (00:07:34) last year 2024 during the HH days when (00:07:37) we had to the the walkin for um throwing (00:07:41) the pebbles for jamarat it was (00:07:44) incredibly hot like 503 sometimes like I (00:07:48) remember one day it was like 53 it was (00:07:50) really hot (00:07:51) unbearable so you should be really (00:07:53) prepared for uh some and what you should (00:07:56) take with you is (00:07:58) one this is a an (00:08:01) umbrella they different than you know (00:08:04) just normal umbrellas you should take (00:08:07) these on that I doubled they have two (00:08:10) sides number two is a fan this was my (00:08:15) favorites I was like take it all the (00:08:17) time like this and just put it on and (00:08:21) all the time walking to the jamarat I (00:08:23) had one and my husband had one as well (00:08:25) and we didn't regret bringing two of (00:08:28) these I also took a hat with me and I (00:08:32) don't know what it is I think I throw it (00:08:33) because it got really dirty it was very (00:08:36) cheap I just bought it from from China I (00:08:38) think you do need a sunscreen that is (00:08:42) fragrance free you also will need (00:08:48) a a fragrance free um after sun and I (00:08:52) use this also as a moisturizer sometimes (00:08:56) your skin can get really dry and (00:08:57) irritated so I use this (00:09:00) it's actually in this pack but I use the (00:09:04) pouches and the most important I (00:09:08) used was (00:09:10) this this is my backpack and I have (00:09:13) something (00:09:15) inside that my husband and I used and (00:09:18) everyone would envy us that we had this (00:09:20) with us because we didn't have to look (00:09:22) for water everywhere and we didn't have (00:09:25) to uh drink uh warm (00:09:28) water this is a (00:09:30) water bladder um a water pack so it's (00:09:36) eventually looks just like this and then (00:09:39) you put it inside this cooling bag so it (00:09:41) keeps it (00:09:42) cool you put it in (00:09:45) your backpack you close the backpack you (00:09:48) wear it and then you can drink all the (00:09:52) time cold water like people were really (00:09:56) jealous that we had these my husband (00:09:58) lost his uh after finishing has he left (00:10:01) it in the fridge in Mina so what what I (00:10:04) would do is um you know fill it and if I (00:10:07) could with zamzam water I think I filled (00:10:09) it most of of the time with zamzam water (00:10:11) we had Zam Zam water everywhere (00:10:12) alhamdulillah it was (00:10:14) available and then I will put it in the (00:10:16) fridge in our MIM camp and the next (00:10:20) morning I would take it and then I would (00:10:22) go with my husband do the Pebbles come (00:10:24) back and they put it in the fridge again (00:10:25) so this was very (00:10:27) handy let's jump to the next category so (00:10:31) in this category we will be talking (00:10:33) about hygiene and Care um there are a (00:10:35) lot of things that you can take with you (00:10:37) I'm going to only show you the things (00:10:38) that are really really important and you (00:10:41) can of course take other things with you (00:10:43) if you find it important for yourself so (00:10:46) the first thing I took with me is a (00:10:48) unscented (00:10:49) sanitizer and this is actually how I (00:10:53) bought it in this big bag and I said I (00:10:57) use everything in this p es they are so (00:11:01) handy they are big enough and you can (00:11:03) put enough product in it for like 2 3 (00:11:06) weeks to go so as you can see this is (00:11:08) still Filled from H cuz I took two with (00:11:11) me and I didn't use them both so (00:11:15) yes the second thing you could take is (00:11:18) an first aid kit well I had put my (00:11:21) medicines all here with some um first (00:11:24) aid uh kit stuff but not a lot what you (00:11:28) also should take for men this is very (00:11:30) important a anti (00:11:33) shuing cream or gel I think they are all (00:11:37) creams um the most used one in England I (00:11:41) think it's (00:11:42) lanane but we couldn't find it here in (00:11:45) Holland so we took two for my husband (00:11:47) you could also use Vaseline just make (00:11:49) sure that everything is incented so (00:11:52) perfum free this is a baby cream and (00:11:56) this is (00:11:58) another brand I don't know what it is my (00:12:01) husband looked it up and bought it it's (00:12:03) a dermaplast active next what we have I (00:12:08) have just some cotton (00:12:10) swaps I have some scissors for cutting (00:12:13) your hair for uh getting out of state of (00:12:17) for women because men goes to Barbers (00:12:20) and we women just go to our hotel and (00:12:23) then cut a bit of our hair let me see if (00:12:26) I didn't forget (00:12:27) nothing we will need also a bag to put (00:12:30) all these things in and I have quite a (00:12:34) big bag with a hook let me show (00:12:38) you so this is my bag I put everything (00:12:42) here but it's just not organized and (00:12:46) it's big enough it has a hook so you (00:12:48) could you could just you know hang it (00:12:50) everywhere and what I also would do is (00:12:53) threw these everywhere these are (00:12:56) compressed towels I would threw some in (00:12:58) my backpack some in my small bag and (00:13:00) some in my totly bag um and you have (00:13:03) them in two sizes this is the other side (00:13:09) size this is optional you don't have to (00:13:12) take this this is (00:13:13) unscented wipes these are just some baby (00:13:16) wipes if you are running off out of um (00:13:20) uh sanitizer or gel so you can use (00:13:25) this let's jump to the next category so (00:13:29) let's talk practical stuff now um you (00:13:32) will need a travel adopter cuz in Europe (00:13:36) we use different things stuff done uh in (00:13:38) Saudi Arabia I know that in England they (00:13:42) use the same so if you're from England (00:13:44) you don't have to worry about that they (00:13:46) gave us one there in Mina camp we all (00:13:48) got um backpacks with some stuffs inside (00:13:51) we have got a travel adapter a small (00:13:54) Setta sanitizer we had a mask sleeping (00:13:58) mask for our eyes (00:14:00) and a small uh Zim zum bottle (00:14:05) inside and some uh you know that thing (00:14:07) you put on your ring to count your T I (00:14:10) don't know how do you call the (00:14:12) electronical T something like that so (00:14:14) they did give us some things the (00:14:16) backpacks were were not really from good (00:14:18) quality so they would really break very (00:14:21) quickly so I would just leave it there (00:14:23) if I'm coming back home so take your own (00:14:26) uh good quality backpack travel adopter (00:14:29) a power (00:14:30) bank I found uh travel air tag to be (00:14:35) also uh very important we put these in (00:14:39) our luggages as we traveled from uh (00:14:42) Mecca to Medina we went by uh highspeed (00:14:46) train haramain Railway I think it's (00:14:48) called yeah but you cannot take all your (00:14:50) luggages with you so we put these in our (00:14:53) luggages and the luggages went the night (00:14:55) before with boss with coach and we could (00:14:58) track where it is (00:15:01) packing cubes yes I have a list here so (00:15:04) I don't forget nothing packing cubes (00:15:06) guys I use this kind of packing cubes in (00:15:09) all sizes these are really from good (00:15:11) quality and you they have two Zips they (00:15:15) have the zip to close it in and to open (00:15:17) it and they have the zip to make the bag (00:15:20) smaller to compress it so I found this (00:15:22) to be from good quality everything I'm (00:15:25) showing you is in the description box if (00:15:28) you want to click on a link and see um (00:15:32) how much it cost me and where did I buy (00:15:33) it (00:15:35) from then I have some practical two (00:15:39) things (00:15:40) left number one is a small bag foldable (00:15:45) bag that you could put just in (00:15:47) your (00:15:49) uh I don't know somewhere in your (00:15:52) clothes or this one (00:15:55) was very handy why because sometimes (00:15:58) they would not let you go to the Haram (00:16:00) with big uh backpacks so you can just (00:16:03) take this put your shoes in and wear it (00:16:05) and go inside so this is number one and (00:16:08) the second one (00:16:10) is this kind of stuff well this one I (00:16:14) got from uh the the bite it was in that (00:16:18) backpack I was talking about they gave (00:16:21) us these things to put the pebbles in I (00:16:24) had my own let me show you I was really (00:16:26) good prepared (00:16:30) I had these from AliExpress and I think (00:16:33) that I put the link also in the (00:16:34) description box but they gave us this (00:16:37) and I found it to be really nice because (00:16:39) you can see that on the first day you (00:16:42) have to do the big jamarat seven times (00:16:45) and then on the next three days you do (00:16:46) 21 21 21 seven small seven medium and (00:16:50) seven big (00:16:52) and I kept some of the Pebbles I'm crazy (00:16:56) I know uh that I uh used for uh jamarat (00:17:01) just as you know nice memory I'm going (00:17:05) to talk just one about one more thing (00:17:08) that is not essential but I found it to (00:17:10) be very handy and that is (00:17:14) a (00:17:18) steamer so let me (00:17:21) see so I took this steamer with me you (00:17:24) could Steam and you could also take all (00:17:27) the dirt from your clothes from the (00:17:28) other side so you can use it twice on (00:17:32) both (00:17:33) sides so this steamer is was from for me (00:17:37) really Game Changer cuz I took all (00:17:40) cotton and linen abayas with me and I (00:17:43) had also my um Moroccan white jalaba (00:17:47) that I wanted to wear on the way back (00:17:50) home because it's a tradition and (00:17:53) because we had everything in um packing (00:17:55) cubes and in (00:17:58) luggages it would wrinkle a lot and I (00:18:01) didn't like my clothes to look messy so (00:18:05) I would use this every time to uh make (00:18:08) my clothes and you don't have to go to (00:18:11) bring your clothes outside to iron it so (00:18:14) that was for me (00:18:16) really very hand and let's go to the (00:18:19) final thing so during the H you don't (00:18:23) want to run out of Dua you want to make (00:18:26) Dua all day long especially on the day (00:18:28) ofat (00:18:30) and um on the way to the jamarat making (00:18:33) the TA making the saf and marwa so you (00:18:37) want just to keep asking Allah things (00:18:40) and ask with the things that Allah (00:18:41) subhah wa tala has um written for us uh (00:18:46) from Hadith from Quran from different uh (00:18:49) sources so what I take with me is my was (00:18:52) version Quran cuz I know they don't read (00:18:55) watch in Saudi Arabia and this one is (00:18:58) small I could just put it everywhere and (00:18:59) take it with me it's I could put it in (00:19:02) my backpack but also in a small (00:19:05) handbag I took with me also this HJ and (00:19:10) omra handbook of (00:19:13) supplications from the prophet (00:19:15) sallallahu alaihi wasallam as he (00:19:17) described it um as the essence of (00:19:20) worship yeah so this was very handy as (00:19:24) well this little book it's very thin (00:19:27) it's called (00:19:30) [Music] (00:19:32) Froman (00:19:36) mamed and it's just some selected Dua (00:19:39) from Quran and from Sunnah so um I use (00:19:43) this like inat I did read read it many (00:19:46) many (00:19:47) times what I don't have with me and I (00:19:50) did took is a h Journal where I already (00:19:53) wrote all my duas personal duas but also (00:19:55) duas that people asked me to do for them (00:19:57) so I don't forget it (00:20:00) um and I had also with (00:20:03) me you want to do lots of salaat on the (00:20:07) prophet when you are in Medina and there (00:20:10) are so many ways to say salwat on the (00:20:14) prophet it's a really close book to my (00:20:17) heart because it's a Moroccan book and (00:20:21) yeah uh that's I think everything that I (00:20:24) took with me and I was really all what I (00:20:27) needed food (00:20:30) you don't have to take food there is (00:20:31) food everywhere there is water (00:20:33) everywhere there is there are stores (00:20:35) everywhere there is fruits everywhere so (00:20:38) please don't take lots of food with you (00:20:39) you can take some small things of course (00:20:41) some nuts
