Traveling with your Spouse for Hajj


Your Hajj journey is probably composed of 3 portions 

  1. Umrah + Time spent in Makkah
  2. Madina
  3. Hajj

Hajj Portion

Traveling You will be travel together during the rituals of the Hajj.  

  • This includes the bus / walk to your assigned area in Mina.
  • The trip to Arafat
  • Moving from Arafat to Muzdalifah
  • Final leg from Muzdalifah to your tent in Mina
  • Daily trip to jamarāt to perform the stoning
  • Traveling to and from your final Tawaf
  • Performing your Umrah

At Location Typically when you arrive at the different locations during the Hajj you will not be together. Do confirm this information with your selected travel agent.  

  • In Mina you will be in separate tents. Have a system to arrange communication. Your spouse might be praying and not answer your text or call.  Dinner in Mina varies you and your spouse may be eating on different schedules. You may be able to coordinate to eat together in Mina.
  • Some tour operators provide tents for the day at Arafat. You and your spouse will be in separate tents reading your prayers. Coordinate how you will communicate. Remember your phone might not work effectively being that everyone is in one single location on that day. You should be able to eat together during Arafat
  • After arriving in Muzdalifah, you will probably eat and pray separately.  Then you will go to sleep in your designated separate areas.  Do make a plan on communicating how to get together again the next morning for the trip to jamarāt.  Additionally, some couples leave early from Muzdalifah for health reasons.  If this is your plan make sure you understand how your travel agent arranges this.

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...
