Should I go straight to Makkah after landing in Jeddah?

Many pilgrims do, but the best option depends on energy level, group arrangements, and how well transport is already organized.

When should I buy a SIM card after arrival?

As early as practical, either at the airport or once you are safely settled, because mobile data helps with transport, maps, and family communication.

Is it normal to rest before starting Umrah?

Yes. First-time pilgrims often benefit from resting, hydrating, and organizing essentials before beginning the rituals.
