ZamZam water
ZamZam is the water of the well in Makkah, and it is treated with particular regard in Muslim households: kept for guests, given to the sick, and shared on return from Hajj or Umrah. It is stocked here in bottles and larger containers as supply allows.
Alongside the water itself sit the practical things that go with it, including dispensers for serving from a larger container and small glasses kept for the purpose. Supply of ZamZam depends on what comes back with pilgrims, so availability moves through the year.

Questions and answers
Where does ZamZam water come from?
It comes from the well of ZamZam in Makkah, beside the Masjid al Haram, and reaches South Africa with returning pilgrims and suppliers. That route is why supply is seasonal rather than constant.
Is your ZamZam authentic?
The ZamZam stocked here comes through the usual supply route from pilgrims and suppliers returning from Makkah. Details for a specific batch are given on the product page.
What sizes do you sell?
It is stocked in small bottles through to larger containers, with the sizes currently available shown on the product pages. Smaller bottles are the usual choice for gifting.
Do you sell ZamZam dispensers?
Yes, dispensers for serving from a larger container are stocked alongside the water, together with small glasses. They are often bought together after Hajj or Umrah.

Keep it sealed, cool and out of direct sunlight, as you would any drinking water. Once opened it is best used within a reasonable time rather than left standing.
