Which countries are most halal friendly for tourists?

Malaysia, Indonesia, the UAE, Turkey, and parts of Bosnia and Singapore are popular for easy halal food and prayer access.

If Spain is on your bucket list, here’s a tip, read this book before you go. It’ll change how you see every arch, courtyard, and piece of calligraphy you come across.

The book Huma’s Travel Guide to Islamic Spain, written by Medina Whiteman and Tahira Larmore Whiteman, with contributions from Dr Abdur Rahman Mangera, is not your usual travel guide. It’s part history, part reflection, and part practical handbook for Muslim travellers exploring Andalusia.

It takes you from the Mezquita of Córdoba, once a centre of Islamic learning, to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, where verses of the Quran still adorn the walls. It even highlights smaller, often overlooked gems like the old Muslim quarters of Seville and Almería.

What makes it truly special is how it blends faith and travel. There’s an insightful section by Dr. Mangera called “Fiqh of Travelling,” which adds a spiritual layer to the journey, a reminder that travel isn’t just movement, but reflection.

If you’re heading to Spain or simply love Muslim heritage, this book is worth adding to your reading list. It helps you see Spain not just as a tourist, but as someone retracing a story that still lives in its architecture and culture.

Read it before your next trip to Andalusia. You’ll experience Spain differently.
