It is recommended to carry only one large piece of luggage (normal size maximum weight 50lb) and a large handbag that fits in the cabinet of the plane. The large piece of luggage will be always left at the hotel and the handbag will be taken with you to Mena and Arafat. Large bags will not be transferred to Mena or Arafat.
5- Please follow new airport guidelines for liquid carry on, no liquid in access of 3 oz is allowed. All liquids and medications must be in a clear plastic bag upon entering security check.
6- Please make sure to use the luggage-tag with the Adam Travel logo and your program color; this is an easy way of identifying your luggage and the group you belong to.
7- Make sure to get your group leader Cellular telephone numbers in Saudi Arabia. Use these numbers during emergencies or if you get lost and need assistance. If you do not know the group leader, please call the person which sold you the package.
8- You will be receiving an Adam Travel ID badge. Make sure to wear it properly so you may be identified in a large crowd, particularly at the airport.
9- Don’t lose your Mutawfeen (Unified Agents) check as it will be collected from you at the point of entry in Saudi Arabia. It is now stapled to your passport. Keep your airline ticket in a separate place from your passport and never give it to any person except your group leader with signature of receiving.
10- Regarding Zabiha (Kurbani), you should have paid for it when you purchased your package so we may handle it for you. Otherwise you must purchase on your own, notice it is time sensitive.
11- Most important that you keep all your prescribed medication with you, not in your suite case or leave it on the bus. It will help if you have a copy of the prescriptions with you.
12- Keep a photocopy of your passport with you at all times
May Allah (SWT) accept your Hajj and bring you back safe, healthy and forgiven.
