From a miqaat.
If you are traveling with the intention of umrah from the US to Saudi and are traveling to Makkah first, you should put on your ihraam from the miqaat. Saudi Airlines will announce the miqaat on the flight. If you want to sleep or are unsure of when to enter ihraam, put on the ihraam when you are passing Egypt by looking at the flight map. If you pass the miqaat without ihraam, you will be liable for a damm (sacrifice).
If you don’t want your child to be immunized, please bring a signed/stamped letter from your physician stating that you would like your child to travel without the recommended immunizations for the intended country. The parents will then take full liability.
