Nabeel Shariff, Director at our halal vacation specialists Serendipity Tailormade Travel, explains what halal vacations mean to travelers:
Keeping the faith
“Halal tours or halal vacations allow Muslims to enjoy their vacation whilst observing the requirements of their faith, which includes eating halal food, having praying facilities and, in some hotels, making the most of gender segregated pool areas or spas. The main difference is we take into consideration the needs of Muslim travelers, such as finding somewhere to pray during the day or ensuring they are experiencing authentic local culture whilst also ensuring their faith requirements are not compromised.”
Family-friendly
“On our tours, we focus on a very family friendly approach and make itineraries accessible to all types of travelers. Our selection of halal-friendly hotels often offers guests more privacy in their rooms, which may also appeal to some non-Muslims. Similarly, hotels may be quieter, so no noisy nightclubs or casinos.”
