In Episode 7 of the Hajj 2026 training camp, the speaker provides crucial logistical advice for pilgrims in Madinah. He details the specific entrance gates for women at Masjid-e-Nabawi (Gates 12, 13, 14, and 23-30) and advises men to avoid these restricted areas. To prevent getting lost, families are encouraged to use specific Wudu Khana numbers (like 223, 224) as meeting points rather than the crowded main gates. The video also covers practical tips for hotel stays, such as leaving key cards at the reception to avoid being locked out. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to currency management: pilgrims are advised to exchange money in India for better rates, carry around 2,500 Riyals per person (with an extra emergency fund for the days of Hajj), and avoid Forex cards due to high fees and inconvenience. Indian currency is noted to be largely useless in Saudi Arabia except for small tips.
