• Non-slip socks: Useful for performing tawaf on the marble floors of the Haram.

• Slippers and a slipper bag: A small bag to carry your shoes when entering the mosque.

• Medications: Personal prescriptions, pain relievers, cold medicine, and basic first aid supplies.

• Personal hygiene items: Unscented soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, wet wipes, and nail clippers.

• Prayer essentials: A small pocket Quran or dua book and a tasbeeh (prayer beads).
