Umrah & Hajj Box Set — 100% Cotton Ihram, Belt and Kufi

Going for Umrah or Hajj requires preparation. This gift set brings together the essentials for a pilgrim — the ihram, its belt, and the chechia — in a ready-to-give box, ensuring a serene departure and a memorable gift.

What the set contains

• 100% cotton Ihram — two pieces of unstitched white fabric, weighing 1 kg
• Ihram belt — to hold the izar in place and keep essentials within reach
• 100% white cotton Chechia — the traditional head covering, light and breathable
• Gift box — white box and ivory ribbon, ready to give without additional packaging

The ihram, the centerpiece of the set

The ihram consists of two pieces of white fabric, without seams or dye: the izar, worn around the waist, and the rida, draped over the shoulder. This simplicity is at the heart of the ritual — all pilgrims appear dressed identically.

1 kg cotton, not an auxiliary fabric

The fabric weight makes all the difference on site. A fabric that is too light becomes transparent when it comes into contact with sweat and slips with every movement. The 1 kg cotton in this set remains opaque, drapes correctly, and withstands repeated washes throughout a full stay.

Breathable in the heat of Mecca

100% cotton allows air to pass through and absorbs moisture, whereas synthetic blends retain it against the skin. During long hours of tawaf or sa'i, in temperatures of several tens of degrees, this is a significant comfort factor.

The ihram belt

Since the ihram has no seams or pockets, the belt serves two simultaneous needs: firmly holding the izar in place during walking and prostrations, and providing secure storage for papers, hotel cards, or a little money. It is worn at the waist, under the fabric.

The white cotton chechia

Worn in the sun as well as during prayer, the chechia completes the pilgrim's attire. The white cotton reflects light rather than absorbing heat, and its knit allows the scalp to breathe. It is machine washable and dries in a few hours.

A gift for a departure

The box arrives closed, tied with an ivory ribbon. Giving a loved one what they will need on-site is a concrete gesture accompanying their departure — and saves them from last-minute purchases before boarding.

Optional items

The set can be supplemented, at the time of order, with items that are not included in the base price:

• Mini Umrah guide — the steps of the ritual in a pocket format
• Alcohol-free musk — a fragrance that complies with the conditions of the state of sacralization
• Miswak — the arak stick, whose use is recommended before each prayer

The visuals of the set show all the items, including options. Only the ihram, belt, chechia, and gift box are included in the displayed price; the others can be added from the boxes above.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ihram one size fits all?

Yes. The ihram is not a fitted garment: it consists of two pieces of fabric that each person drapes according to their body shape. The belt ensures it stays in place at the waist.

Is the set suitable for both Hajj and Umrah?

Yes. The ihram is identical for both pilgrimages. The duration of Hajj simply makes it relevant to plan for a second set as a spare.

Can it be given directly as a gift?

Yes. The box is presented closed and tied, with no visible price tag. No additional packaging is necessary.
