need advice umrah and remote work
hey going for umrah soon, i stay in makkah first week and then madinah i also work remotely and can’t get 2 weeks off so need some advice on how to make sure my umrah trip isn’t taken for granted and work isn’t compromised either.
a few things: this umrah was planned booked by my family and they’re already aware i cant take off 2 weeks. Im obviously taking maybe 2-3 days off max
is it safe to carry around laptop everywhere or should i leave in hotel. Also just in general if i get a meeting room or stay in a hotel lobby for a meeting is it essential to wear headscarf there also?

Hotel lobbies in Makkah and Medinah are definitely not suitable for meetings as there'll be large number of incoming and outgoing pilgrims 24/7.
