FAQs - Frequently asked questions

 

This sections contains questions and answers that may not be covered in the main sections.

 

Q: What makes this package Halal or Islamic?

This is a special holiday designed for Muslims only. You do not have to sacrifice neither your joy nor your Islamic practices. In all other resorts you will find drinking tourists in mixed pools. Our hotels operate on no alcohol policy and provide separated swimming (open) facilities for ladies. Entertainment is also suitable for Muslims.

 

 

Q.The pools are segregated. What about the beach?

The hotels are by the sea with their private beaches. The ladies are allowed to swim in full covered Islamic swimming suit and it applies to brothers to.

 

Q. Women travels are they permitted and will there be segregation?

The package is organised and managed by "Practicing Muslims" and thus we expect Muslims to observe Islamic etiquettes and behaviour throughout the whole trip. Groups will be mixed. Individuals who are found to misbehave, uncooperative, nuisance, rude, loud-mouthed or disrespectful towards fellow travellers or organisers will be sent back immediately, with no refund.

 

Sisters are permitted to travel and the Tour Lead will act as the Amir and if the numbers of sisters are such, then we will assign a Sister from our organisation to lead the Tour. Sisters who are travelling are advised to request permission from their Mahrams and if possible travel with them. If not, as explained, the group Tour lead will act as the
Amir and one can travel under his / her guardianship. So Sisters can come alone, if they wish to do so.

 

Q: What will the weather be like and what do I wear?
Temperatures can reach up to as high as 36C. Please dress light and modestly.

 

Q: How many in the group?

Our group will be 100 people travelling together from the UK. Participants are British Muslim families.

Q. Will there be any discounts for group bookings ?

Unless mentioned, no, we believe our packages are excellent value for money and unlike most tour operators, through our cultural exchanges we aim to add another dimension to our travel i.e. Spiritual solidarity of the Ummah.

 

Q. Are you members of ABTA - The Travel Association or any such related association?

Currently not at the moment, but our partner has been organising tours in Turkey for the last 15 years. As stated in the Terms and Conditions, all travellers are recommended to make their own standard travel and medical insurance.
