Preparing for Umrah is a journey in itself. From booking your tickets and arranging your stay to mentally and spiritually getting ready, every step feels meaningful. Among the many things to think about, packing the right clothes is one of the most important. For women, one essential item that often requires extra thought is the hijab.
During Umrah, you’ll be spending long hours in prayer, walking between sacred sites, and sometimes facing the heat of Makkah’s sun. You want a hijab that doesn’t slip, doesn’t feel heavy, and most importantly, keeps you comfortable while helping you maintain your modesty.
A good Umrah hijab should be breathable, not see-through, and easy to manage, especially when you’re moving between rituals or spending hours in the Haram.
At Riwaya, we deeply understand this need. That’s why we’ve put together a list of five hijabs that we believe are perfect for Umrah. Whether you’re looking for something light and airy or soft and secure, there’s something here for every woman preparing for her spiritual journey.
1. Lightweight Printed Turkish Hijab

This hijab is a lovely choice for those warm Makkah days. Made from a cotton-polyester blend, it feels soft on the skin while staying light and breathable. The fabric doesn’t crease, so you can pack it easily without worrying about ironing.
It’s not see-through, which means you can wear it a little loosely without your hair showing, perfect for a modest yet comfortable look. The size gives you full coverage, and the fabric’s stiffness helps the front of the hijab stay up in a neat point, so you won’t be constantly adjusting it. The soft print gives it just the right amount of detail without being too flashy. Ideal for a clean, respectful look during Umrah.
2. Pashmina Hijab

It features a gentle floral pattern that adds a touch of grace without standing out too much. The fabric drapes beautifully and provides plenty of coverage. The frosted veil finish gives it a soft, refined look that feels special, yet still suitable for such a spiritual journey.
