Hepatitis A and B vaccines are recommended, especially for long stays or if visiting rural areas. Meningococcal vaccination is mandatory for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Protect against mosquito-borne diseases like dengue by using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves. Tap water is generally safe in urban areas, but bottled water is recommended.
