Preparing for Hajj or Umrah involves plenty of decisions, but choosing your ihram can be straightforward. Start with how you would like the fabric to feel, then check the measurements to find the coverage that suits you.
At Amsons, our ihram collection includes zero twist, terry and textured block styles, with options for adults and children. This guide explains the differences and what to check before you pack.
Choosing your ihram fabric
Zero twist ihram
If you prefer a smooth finish and a lighter feel in the hand, explore our zero twist options. The feel of the fabric is only part of the decision: the size and overall weight of your chosen set also matter when wearing it and packing your luggage.
Compare the Zero Twist Ihram 45 × 90 inches with the Premium Zero Twist Ihram 47 × 115 inches for more generous coverage.
Both sides terry ihram
Terry ihrams have a soft, absorbent texture on both sides. If you enjoy a towel-like feel against the skin, this is a useful starting point when comparing fabrics.
Our terry range includes adult, teenager and children's options. Explore the Both Sides Terry Ihram for adults, or check the smaller sizes below when preparing for a family journey.
Textured block ihram
Block ihrams feature a textured block finish on both sides. The range also includes a softer-surface option listed as the Premium Both Sides Blocks Valour Ihram.
For the standard block finish, compare the adult version with the adult large version. Choose according to your preferred texture and the measurements you need.
How to choose your ihram size
Use the product's measurements as your starting point. Labels such as “kids”, “teenager” and “adult” help you browse, but height and build vary. Check that your chosen size offers comfortable coverage and enough fabric to wrap securely.
| Product | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Kids Both Side Terry Ihram | 30 × 70 |
| Older Kids / Teenagers Both Side Terry Ihram | 40 × 80 |
| Adult Zero Twist Ihram | 45 × 90 |
| Adult Large Premium Zero Twist Ihram | 47 × 115 |
These measurements refer to the named products, rather than every ihram with the same size label. For younger children, explore the Kids Small option and check its individual measurements before ordering.
Ladies Ihram for your journey
Our Ladies Ihram is made from 100% combed cotton, with a loose, modest design and lace trim along the lower edge. It comes with an Amsons storage bag, making it convenient to keep together when packing.
Check the product page for measurements and what is included. The abaya shown in the product photography is not included.
A simple checklist before you pack
- Check the fit: try your chosen garments before travelling so you have time to arrange a different size if needed.
- Read the care label: follow the washing and drying instructions supplied with your particular product.
- Consider luggage space: compare the dimensions and listed weight when deciding what to take.
- Keep essentials together: use a clean storage bag and place the items you need during the journey within easy reach.
- Prepare the rest of your kit: explore our Hajj and Umrah accessories, non-fragranced essentials and Hajj and Umrah books.
