Halal holidays & Muslim-friendly tours

Halal holidays & Muslim-friendly tours

Guided group tours from the UK to the great places of Islamic history - planned around your salah, with like-minded travellers.

A halal holiday should let you relax, explore and learn without ever having to compromise on your deen. That is exactly how Sabeel Travels plans every trip.

Since 2014 we have taken British Muslims on guided group tours to the places where Islamic history was made - the Ottoman streets of Sarajevo, the palaces of Al-Andalus, the Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, Islamic Cairo and the lands of the Prophets in Jordan. Prayer times are built into every day, you travel with a Muslim group and a team that understands what matters to you, and all of our packages that include flights are ATOL protected.

What is a halal holiday?

A halal holiday is a trip planned so that Muslim travellers can enjoy everything a destination offers while keeping to Islamic values. For some people that means a quiet beach resort; for many of our travellers it means something more meaningful - discovering the Muslim heritage of a country, praying in mosques that have stood for centuries, and travelling with people who share the same faith.

Sabeel Travels specialises in that second kind of halal holiday: guided group tours where the history, the company and the rhythm of the day all fit around your deen.

Why travel with Sabeel Travels

  • Salah comes first: itineraries are planned around prayer times, with time to pray in the great mosques along the way.
  • Islamic heritage at the heart of every trip: knowledgeable guides bring the history of each place to life, from the Great Mosque of Cordoba to the mausoleum of Imam al-Bukhari.
  • Travel with a Muslim group: join families, couples, friends and solo travellers, with sisters-only dates on selected tours.
  • Everything arranged: hotels, transfers and guided visits are organised for you, so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
  • Peace of mind: a UK team you can reach on WhatsApp before and during your trip, and ATOL protection on packages that include flights.
  • Easy to book: secure your place with a £100 deposit and pay the balance before you travel.
