In Islam, Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It happens in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the lunar calendar, which corresponds to September through October in the Gregorian calendar, depending on the sighting of the new moon. Hajj pilgrims may be gone for several days or up to 12 days, depending on their physical condition and stage in the pilgrimage process. To ensure that people have everything they need for this life-changing journey and their time in Mecca, here are some virtual gifts you can give someone going on Hajj.

Folding mattresses make an excellent hajj gift because they can easily fit into luggage, are very lightweight, and offer reasonable comfort. Additionally, they’re relatively inexpensive, so you would not be breaking your budget while giving Hajj gifts to the pilgrims. You can find these folding mattresses on Amazon or Alibaba for prices ranging from $5 – $15.
An RFID passport cover
This is an excellent gift for people who are traveling to Mecca. The cover has a slot for an RFID card and helps protect your passport from damage or theft. It also has a place for your name and nationality, making it easy for airport officials to identify you.
A LED headlamp flashlight
A headlamp flashlight is a perfect gift for someone going on Hajj. It will help them keep their hands free and is small enough that it won’t take up much room in their luggage or be too heavy. They’re also convenient when you need both hands to do something. You can use it for personal work when you don’t want to disturb others by turning on the lights.
Mobile phone accessories
Getting ready for this life-changing event of Hajj can take time and preparation. One of the best ways you can help a loved one prepare for Hajj is by giving them some thoughtful gifts. Mobile phone accessories are also essentials everyone needs now a day. You can gift charger, hands-free, or power bank to make your journey comfortable.
Smart Watches
Gift them a smartwatch for their trip. Smartwatches are ideal gifts for people traveling on Hajj. They are lightweight, easy to carry, and can be used as a travel companion, fitness tracker, and device that provides helpful information about the surrounding environment. So this could be one of the perfect Hajj gifts for the pilgrims.
Portable handheld fan for hot days in Mecca
A portable handheld fan is a must-have for any pilgrim who visits the holy city of Mecca. Staying calm while performing Hajj is essential with the scorching heat and humidity. The entire Masjid al-Haram is well air-conditioned & no need for any fan there, but outside Masjid al-Haram, the portable fan may be of great use.
A water bottle with a tracking device
A water bottle with a tracking device would be perfect for anyone going on the trip. The tracker will let you know how much water was consumed and remind you that it’s time to drink more. It also has a built-in UV filter, so the water will stay clean even if it’s not potable.
