[*Nobleman*]

Hajj can be a very demanding endeavor physically and mentally.

I suggest that you throughly educate yourself of the rituals and the duas of the Hajj so that your money doesn't go to waste, also knowing what you meant do to and when you were meant to do makes one independant and not tied to Hajj groups who take longer than necessary to go trough the rituals.

Forexample, If you are not accompanied by older family member, you can go and perform the first Cumra as soon as you arrive Makka and wear your normal clothes afterwards thats if you are performing the Hajj Tamatu.

During Hajj its alot easier to walk from Muzdaliffa in the morning of the main Hajj day and proceed to Minna dump your sleeping bag there and go to the Jamarat (dagaxtuurka) and then proceed to Makka on foot going through well-ventilated tunnels (it takes no more then 40-45 min of relaxed walk) this way you make it to the Kabba around 7:30am while its still reletively empty thus allowing you to do easies Dawaf and Sacyi (between Safa and Marwa) You do all of this while most Pilgrims are stuck in the stand still Traffic jam (on Buses).

After you do your Tawaful Ifada and Sacyi you can go for the shave take shower in the nearby hotels and buy $10 qamiis.

you can then wait for Duhr while watching the ever-increasing cwords struggle to do the tawaf (the mosque was full by 11am) and sacyi which becomes really hard as you take one step at a time. The Dawaf and Sacyi will get tougher to do as they will be distrupted by the day prayers Durh, Asr, Maghrib, etc. It takes as long as from Duhr to Maghrib for some to just do dawaf and Sacyi

After you pray Duhr you can proceed to Minna and enjoy your lunch there by 2pm.

The group I was with went from Muzdaliffa done the Jamaratt 1 (dagaxtuur) and went back to Minna. They did the three day of dhagaxtuur at each pillar and done their Tawaful Ifada and Sacyi at the end of Hajj This meant they needed to stay in their Ixraam clothes all that time.

another advice is watch what you eat eat only fruits that you peel and canned food

Choose good position (away from exit and neat toilets) in the tents

enjoy.

I am going to be in Jiddah around the same time, but I don't think I would be doing Hajj. Visiting my grandpa and seeing my abtiyaal and Ayos
