What is a halal travel blog?

A halal travel blog shares Muslim-friendly tips on food, hotels, prayer spaces, and local etiquette so you can plan trips with confidence.

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.

How do I confirm if a hotel is halal friendly?

Check if halal food is available, ask about alcohol-free options, prayer mats, Qibla direction, and nearby mosques. Email the hotel if details are unclear.

Can I find halal food at airports?

Many major airports offer halal options. Search by terminal and look for certified outlets or vegetarian menus that can be prepared separately.

Are there Muslim-friendly airlines with halal meals?

Several airlines provide halal meals when requested in advance. Add a special meal request during booking or via manage booking.

Is solo travel safe for Muslim women?

Yes, with planning. Choose well-reviewed areas, day tours, and modest-friendly beaches or pools. Know local norms and dress codes.

How can I pray while flying or on the road?

Use a prayer times app with offline mode, plan around time zones, and ask crew for space when safe. Carry a travel prayer mat.

What would be the best option to book hotels in Makkah - should I reserve via booking.com/Agoda or is it better to book directly with the hotel agents?

Direct Hotels will always have better rates if you have someone who can visit them directly. In my experience there seems to be an application charge when using apps.

I have used booking.com for Madinah and direct with Hyatt in Makkah for my forthcoming trip in February IA. Booking.com is a good portal to access apartments which you won't be able to find elsewhere.
