Before you even set food on Saudi soil, you have to apply for visa and with that visa declare your faith. IF you are a convert then you have to provide proof of your conversion, usually a letter from local imam. There is no airport in Makkah and i'm not sure but i think there isn't one in madinah either. There are roads that go outside of makkah and madinah for non-Muslims and roads that says Muslims only that lead to makkah and madinah. There are undercover officers that walk around and can ask anyone for their iqamah (kinda like visit card) and it shows all your important info on it.
All those going to hajj do not give their zakat there. Some may choose to give zakat there but for the most part, people give zakat in their home countries to their local people in need. And some people, especially those in the west, give it online to charity organizations for those in poor countries. How do the saudis do it? maybe the saudi wife here can help yo on that.
Yes, you will need it in muzdallifah since you will spend the night there. Some people bring mini tents for there, i took some as well. One bro with in group took a sleeping bag, which was a good idea. I would take both if i were you, sleep bag for comfort and tent for privacy. But not everyone does.
You will only need them in muzdalifah only, and maybe in mina as well. Mina is basically a tent city so you wont' need one. But if your tent it more towards outside and not one of the inner tents and if the nights are cold then it will get chilly for you, that's where the sleeping bag will come in handy.

If anyone is planning to attend hajj soon then it's best to start reading up on it now.
here's a good thread on it - About Hajj
Also, i recommend these books for to know a little history.
History of Madinah Munawawwarah
History of Makkah
Both by Shaikh Safiur-Rahman Mubarakpuri
from Darussalam
Hajj, Umrah & Ziyarah by abdul aziz abdullah bin baz
Once you land there at the airport, there were men standing at the exit door with a stack of books and they ask you about your language and give you a simplified mini book that tells you everything about hajj. They do same also when you leaving country, they give you a copy of the quran.
Btw, I have that book scanned if anyone's interested.

Assalaam walaikum,
I am still in the dreaming state. There are two wishes I have in my life. One is to go to hajj and the second is to become a grandmother. InshaAllah, both will come true.
Non-Saudi wife..I like that...Believers wife is better.
Brother, please upload the book. I read and impart information all the time.
Now...while I have everyones attention help me understand the concept of the collective wealth of the Ummath. Where is that and who holds the treasury. Is that not for all Muslims?

Jazakallah khair! I knew we had to get a visa, but I did not know the visa would have our religion on it.

Yes there is, a small one. There's a neat looking masjid just outside it as well.
