Hajj 2027

Travelling with Zamzam

Saudi rules allow each departing pilgrim one sealed 5-litre container of Zamzam. Airlines handle it differently, so check your airline's rules before you fly home.

Last checked: November 2026. Written for pilgrims travelling from the UK.

Buy sealed containers from official outlets
Ask your airline whether it counts in your allowance
Never pack it in hand luggage
Some airlines and groups hand out Zamzam on arrival in the UK
