Zamzam Water & the e-Visa

A sacred treasure accessible to pilgrims

Zamzam water is one of the world's oldest springs, flowing continuously for over 4,000 years beneath the Grand Mosque in Mecca. For Muslims, this blessed water is linked to the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail. Since 2019, tourist e-Visa holders can perform Umrah and access Mecca to drink Zamzam water on site. Please note: it is not possible to bring Zamzam water home with a tourist e-Visa. Only pilgrims holding a specific Hajj or Umrah visa are allowed to transport it in their luggage.
