Nabeel Shariff, Director at our halal holiday specialists Serendipity Tailormade Travel, explains what halal holidays mean to travellers:
Keeping the faith
“Halal tours or halal holidays allow Muslims to enjoy their holiday 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 travellers, 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 travellers. 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.”
