Essential Travel Vaccines for the Middle East ✈️
Planning a trip to the Middle East? Whether you're travelling for Hajj or Umrah, exploring the vibrant culture of Morocco, or heading to countries like Egypt, Jordan, or the UAE, it's vital to make sure your travel vaccines are up to date. At Stevenage Travel Clinic, we offer tailored advice and vaccinations to keep you safe abroad.
Hajj and Umrah (Saudi Arabia) 🕋
If you're travelling to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage, there are strict vaccination requirements:
MenACWY (Meningococcal ACWY): Mandatory for all pilgrims over the age of 2. You must show a vaccination certificate to obtain a visa.
Seasonal Flu Vaccine: Strongly recommended, especially during peak pilgrimage seasons.
COVID-19: Check the latest entry requirements as these can change.
We provide the MenACWY vaccine with a certificate accepted by the Saudi authorities.
Morocco 🌍
Morocco is a popular destination just a short flight from the UK, but travellers should still be aware of recommended vaccines:
Hepatitis A: Recommended for most travellers.
Typhoid: Especially if you're staying with locals or heading off the beaten path.
Tetanus: Ensure your booster is up to date (within the last 10 years).
Yellow Fever is not required unless you're arriving from a country with a risk of transmission. We provide Yellow Fever vaccination with an official certificate if needed for onward travel.
Egypt, Jordan, UAE and Beyond 🏜️
Other Middle Eastern destinations also come with specific health considerations. For countries like Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, the following vaccines are commonly recommended:
Hepatitis A & B
Typhoid
Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio (Td/IPV)
Rabies: For longer stays or adventure travel, especially rural areas
Each traveller is unique, and your vaccine needs may differ depending on your itinerary, length of stay, and planned activities.
