Clothes
DO NOT bring a lot of clothes. All you need really is 3-4 jilbabs - for umrah time (lighter colors for hajj and summer season) and a few clothes underneath that you can mix and match.
Bring enough socks and inner garmets. You can always wash clothes if you have to. But bringing alot of clothes just wastes your time and suitcase room.
A regular travelling rule of thumb is to never pack more than you can carry for a trip!
It goes without saying that you should bring some comfy shoes/sneakers for when you go on Ziyara or shopping.
Also bring some good chappals/shibshib for when you are going to the haram. Don't overpack your suitcase. You won't be able to get it all back home especially if you buy things.
You can always give away some of your clothes/shoes while there or try this well-known travelling tip: bring an extra empty suitcase/bag with you or buy one there.
A NOTE for Madina. The weather there is very different from Makkah. Madina is much cooler. We were in 80-90 degrees everyday in Makkah and then in Madina we were at 60-70s and it was extremely COLD around Fajr, so bring a sweatshirt/sweater and a few warm clothes so you don't get sick.
DO NOT bother bringing anything expensive, like jewelry or electronic equipment. If it's lost or stolen you'll never see it again.
