Can you buy everything you need to prepare for Umrah with just 100 Saudi Riyals? ๐๐ฐ Today, I'm taking on the 100 Riyal Umrah Shopping Challenge at Bin Dawood, one of the major supermarkets near Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah, Saudi Arabia! But before we begin, we're stopping at the famous Al Baik restaurant near the Prophet's Mosque to try their chicken nuggets, compare spicy and regular Musahhab, and enjoy some delicious Saudi garlic sauce! Then it's time for the real challenge: Can I buy five essential Umrah items without spending more than 100 SAR? ๐ THE 100 RIYAL UMRAH CHALLENGE If you're planning Umrah from Madinah to Makkah, there are several things you'll want to prepare before entering Ihram. We're shopping for: 1. Ihram garments 2. Comfortable sandals 3. An Ihram belt or waist pouch 4. Unscented soap 5. Vaseline But here's the challenge: Our shopping budget is only 100 Saudi Riyals! Can we find everything without going over budget? ๐ TRYING AL BAIK NEAR MASJID NABAWI Before heading to Bin Dawood, we visited Al Baik near Masjid an-Nabawi. We ordered spicy and regular Musahhab chicken nuggets with drinks for 39 SAR. We also tried the famous garlic sauce, known as toum, and compared the flavors. Which do you prefer: spicy or regular Al Baik? ๐ SHOPPING AT BIN DAWOOD IN MADINAH After eating, we headed to Bin Dawood near Gate 330 of Masjid an-Nabawi. This supermarket offers a wide variety of products, including groceries, imported chocolates, clothing, household goods, toiletries, travel accessories, and Umrah essentials. We explored the different sections while searching for affordable supplies for our upcoming Umrah. ๐ฐ HOW MUCH DID OUR UMRAH ESSENTIALS COST? Here are the prices we found during our shopping challenge: ๐งด Vaseline โ 7 SAR ๐งผ Soap โ 8 SAR ๐ Ihram belt โ 19 SAR ๐ Men's Ihram garments โ 39 SAR ๐ก Sandals โ 19 SAR TOTAL: 92 SAR! We managed to find all five items for less than 100 Saudi Riyals! These prices are from our visit and may vary depending on the shop, brand, size, and availability. The Al Baik meal was purchased separately and was not part of the 100 SAR shopping budget. โ๏ธ PREPARING FOR UMRAH IN SAUDI ARABIA Whether you're visiting Madinah before performing Umrah or preparing for your journey to Makkah, organizing your essentials in advance can save valuable time. A few important reminders: Men should choose suitable Ihram garments and footwear. Avoid applying perfume or fragranced personal-care products after entering the state of Ihram. Check any skincare products for fragrance, and consult reliable Umrah guidance if you're unsure about an item. These shopping supplies are practical essentials, not a complete list of Umrah requirements or rituals. ๐ WHY SHOPPING SMART MATTERS IN MADINAH One of the beautiful things about visiting Madinah is spending time in Masjid an-Nabawi, praying Salah, reading the Quran, and remembering Allah. By preparing your Umrah essentials efficiently, you can spend less time shopping and more time focusing on your ibadah. That is the real reason behind this challenge! ๐ LOCATIONS FEATURED Al Baik โ Near Masjid an-Nabawi, Madinah Bin Dawood Supermarket โ Near Gate 330, Masjid an-Nabawi, Madinah, Saudi Arabia ๐ฌ QUESTION FOR YOU Do you think 100 Riyals is enough to prepare for Umrah?
