Top Halal Travel Destinations for Muslim Couples

Malaysia

Malaysia is a pioneer when it comes to the holiday industry catering for Muslims. Throughout the country, including the capital Kuala Lumpur, you’ll find cheap yet tasty halal dishes. With the cuisine differing enormously from what you will find in the UK, it’s a great opportunity to try out new foods. What’s more, the country is landscaped with jaw-dropping natural beauty. Being a tropical country, you’ll find many national parks, islands, trekking paths, forests and waterfalls. There’s just so much to see and do. You can also stay at some of Malaysia’s best hotels, which are, in the majority, Muslim owned, with some featuring private pools and spas.

Andalucia

If you are thinking about staying in Europe, head for Andalucia, the southernmost region of Spain. Rich in history, nature and exquisite food, you’ll never run out of things to do here: For beautiful architecture, head over to the Alhambra Palace in Granada. Next, head to one of the first Mosques established in Cordoba and be mesmerised. Then make your way to Madinat Zahra. Once a palace the size of a city, this place is now in ruins and visited by masses. Head to Seville to climb one of the tallest minarets in the world. If you are looking to relax and unwind, make your way to any of the sandy golden beaches of the region. 

Macedonia

A common honeymoon destination for newly-wed Muslims, the country covers a large area of land that caters for beach holidays, city breaks and historic tours. Turkey also has excellent currency exchange rates, making it an affordable destination. Visit Istanbul for its history, mosques and vibrant community, or head over to Konya – the resting place of the world famous 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi. If you are looking for a beautiful and sunny beach destination, head over to Marmaris, Fethiye or Antalya, located in Southern Turkey. With the opportunity to visit multiple destinations within Turkey with very affordable domestic flights, combining a city break with a beach break within one holiday has never been easier.
