If you’ve ever performed Umrah, you must know that after completing your rituals, you need to trim or shave your hair. But that often means walking quite a distance to find a barber. Well, Makkah just made things WAY easier!

The Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has introduced mobile barbershops inside Masjid Al Haram to help pilgrims get their hair cut without the long walk

Why Is Hair Cutting Important After Umrah?

For those who may not know, shaving or trimming your hair is the final step of Umrah. It symbolizes spiritual renewal,  stepping into a fresh start. For men, shaving the head is preferred, while women only need to trim a small portion. This new service is a huge convenience, especially for elderly pilgrims and those with mobility issues. No more wandering through the crowded streets of Makkah searching for a barber….just step into the mobile unit and walk out fresh and fulfilled!

Makkah is truly stepping up its game to enhance the pilgrim experience.
