Comment:Assalamu aleikum
Some feedback on the comments: re alcohol in handwash, what is forbidden in Islam is the injestion of INTOXICANTS and not the chemical 'alcohol' of which there are many forms. The form used in waterless handwash is isopropyl alcohol which is not injested and does not intoxicate (however it is toxic if drunk).
A 'fanny pack' is a belt-like strap-on bag which serves as a purse or recepticle for a number of small items while leaving your hands free. Men often secure their ihraam with such a belt/bag and they are much more practical and secure than a purse for women.
As for the Q on what women should wear, my advice is long, loose, breezy light cotton dresses which can be worn with or without an abaya atop them. Try to get something that doesn't wrinkle too much and can be easily washed out. You might bring a pair or two of leggings (cotton or stretchy pants) to wear underneath if you find that more comfortable. As to where to stay, most people go to the best place they can afford through their hajj tour operator. I'm sure you can check out hotel ratings online if your operator gives you the names of possible choices they work with.
Salaam, Brenda

Comment:Very informative and practical information. Question regarding the waterless hand wash, one of the main ingredient is alchol, do you think that is permissable?
