Saudi Arabia has introduced a new high-tech garment called the Cool Ihram to help Hajj and Umrah pilgrims stay comfortable in extremely hot weather. This special ihram is made with modern, heat-reflective and quick-dry fabrics that help reduce skin temperature, absorb sweat, and prevent irritation during long hours of walking and performing rituals.
Even though it uses advanced technology, the Cool Ihram still follows the simple and traditional design required for pilgrimage. Its purpose is to make the experience safer and more comfortable by reducing heat stress, lowering fatigue, and helping pilgrims stay focused on their worship rather than the harsh climate.
Many early users have shared positive feedback, saying they feel lighter, more relaxed, and better able to complete their rituals. The garment is available through various pilgrimage kits and service providers, making it easier for people of all backgrounds to benefit from it. It also supports sustainability and overall well-being, showing how Saudi Arabia is combining tradition with innovation to meet the challenges of rising temperatures during Hajj and Umrah.
