Key Takeaways
- A circular issued on May 6 bans trolley bags, hand-carry bags, and extra luggage during the move to Mina
- Each pilgrim is permitted to carry one bag only — no exceptions
- Officials have been ordered to brief pilgrims immediately and enforce strict compliance
Pilgrims heading to Mina for Hajj 2026 must travel with one bag only. Trolley bags, hand-carry bags, and any additional luggage are completely prohibited during this phase of the pilgrimage.
A circular issued on May 6 by the Hajj Mission in Makkah ordered all field officials to enforce the one-bag rule without exception during the Mina movement. Each pilgrim is allowed a single bag — nothing more.
Space at Mina camp facilities is the core concern. The circular warned that violations could create serious operational difficulties during one of the most congested phases of Hajj 2026.
Mina accommodates millions of pilgrims within a confined area, and excess luggage blocks movement and strains already limited camp space.
Pilgrims are required to travel to Mina with one bag only. Hand-carry bags and trolley bags must be left behind before the move begins.
All officials have been directed to brief pilgrims without delay and enforce full compliance.
