Before entering the state of Ihram, pilgrims must cleanse and purify themselves. Ihram, men will wear two unstitched garments. And women will wear loose casual clothes. Prior to assuming the state of Ihram, it is Sunnah to offer two Rakahs of Salah.
Upon entering the holy mosque in Makkah, every person should perform Tawaf. This is the act of circling around the Kaaba counterclockwise seven times. Tawaf begins and ends from the sacred black stone located in front of the Kaaba. During Tawaf, pilgrims will repeat any Dhikr (phrases of prayers) that they wish to say. While crossing the black stone it is a Sunnah (a traditional practice of the Prophet (PBUH)) to repeat this Dua’a (prayer). "ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار" "Rabina Atina Fid-Dunya Hasanatan Wa Fil Akhirati Hasanatan Waqina Adhaban-Nar” When facing the black stone, pilgrims will raise their right hand and repeat “Allahu Akbar” - God is the Greatest.
Sa’i is the ritual of walking back and forth between two hills known as Safa and Marwa seven times.

It is not a sin on whoever performs Hajj or Umrah in the house of Allah to perform Tawaf between them. And whoever does good all is knowing and is appreciative} [Surah Al-Baqarah 158]
Every pilgrim performing Umrah must either cut their hair or shave it completely (for women, it’s typically cutting just a single lock of hair) to signify rebirth and purity after their spiritual journey.
