Spain

Let’s be honest, Qatar wasn’t on most people’s radar ten years ago. Now it’s one of the most talked about destinations in our community, and for good reason. Qatar has a way of catching people off guard. You think you know what to expect, and then you get there and it’s something else entirely.

If you only have a few hours in Doha, go straight to Souq Waqif. The moment you step into those narrow alleyways, oud smoke drifting through the air, spice merchants, the sound of the bazaar, falcons sitting calmly on their perches, you feel like you’ve been pulled back a few centuries. It’s the kind of place you wander into and lose track of time.

Then look up, and there’s the skyline. That’s Qatar in a nutshell ,ancient and utterly modern, sitting right next to each other without any awkwardness.

Beyond Doha, the country opens up beautifully. World-class family resorts, a genuinely impressive arts scene, and then the desert, the sand dunes at Sealine are spectacular, For families especially, Qatar is hard to beat. It’s one of the safest countries in the world, completely halal, and set up to make travelling with kids easy.

Best time to visit is October through March, when the weather is genuinely perfect.

Spain is one of the most visited countries n the world but the majority head to the beaches. Muslim travellers who look past the coastline will find some of the most significant Islamic heritage in Europe. Al Andalus, the name the Muslims gave to this land, was one of the great Muslim civilisations of the medieval world, and its architecture is still standing. The Alhambra in Granada is a 14th century palace complex that remains one of the most extraordinary buildings on earth. The Great Mosque of Córdoba, built in 784 CE and later converted to a cathedral, still has its forest of horseshoe arches intact. The Giralda tower in Seville was originally a minaret. Granada has a particularly strong halal food scene around the Albayzín neighbourhood, with North African restaurants and tea houses within sight of the Alhambra. Barcelona and Madrid have established halal options. Outside these cities, planning is more important. But the Islamic heritage alone makes Spain worth the trip for a Muslim traveller who has not yet been.
