Arafat is Hajj

Arafat is the key day for your prayers. It can feel like an exam, but if you prepare and invest in preparing your and your family's dua list you will be ready. If your tour group has a campsite you will most likely remain in the camp for the entire day.  Very good if you have trouble walking or trouble being in the sun all day.  The sermon is available to listen to, bring a bluetooth speaker to play for your other friends or listen on your headphones https://arafatsermon.info/ If you don't have time to listen to it, it is recorded and you can listen after your Hajj to revisit your experience.

Your travel group will most likely assist you to perform your 1st Umrah, normally very soon after arriving into Makkah. If you are spending additional days in Makkah, you will have time to perform extra Umrahs.  It is approximately about 3-4 hours to complete.  I suggest only doing 1 Umrah per day. Performing extra Umrahs should only be done if you are fit enough.  If you plan to do extra Umrahs, in your preparations for Hajj at home make it a goal to walk 5km at a brisk pace daily.  The most difficult part may be the Tawaf because there can be a lot of pushing especially if you do your tawaf on the Mataf (the ground floor).  The Sai is more distance but it it performed in an air conditioned hall and there tends to be less people. Your travel agent wants to minimize risk. Consequently they are on...
