HalalTrip - Find Halal Restaurants, Mosques and Other Facilities on Your Travels

Muslim travelers can now find Halal restaurants, mosques and other facilities that they need while on their travels through a newly launched mobile application called HalalTrip. It is a sister brand of CrescentRating and offers an all-in-one app with useful features including Qibla direction finder, In-flight prayer times calculator and much more.

Halal Hotels

When visiting a city with plenty of halal restaurants, a hotel near a mosque is a good idea. This allows you to easily get a meal for Suhoor and ifthar, and also provides a place to stay after prayers in the early morning. Many hotels also have separate pool times and spa hours for men and women to provide a relaxing and more hygienic environment.

Some hotels are specifically dedicated to halal travellers, for example the Senggigi beach resort in Lombok has luxury Halal rooms with private beach access for female guests only. It also has a special women-only outdoor and indoor pool and spa, and the resort offers a range of fun activities that are created specifically for female tourists.

The Central Palace halal hotel in Bangkok has beautiful rooms that indicate the direction of Mecca and come with prayer mats and copies of Al Quran. The hotel also has a rooftop pool that boasts spectacular views of the city, as well as several on-site halal restaurants and a holistic spa.

Halal Restaurants

Many local grocers in major cities now offer halal foods such as lamb, chicken and beef. Many restaurants have added halal options as well. The menus at these restaurants tend to feature Middle Eastern, Turkish and Pakistani cuisine.

The word halal is most commonly associated with Islamic dietary laws and meat processed and prepared in accordance with those laws. However, it also refers to the way animals are treated and slaughtered – specifically, with minimal suffering and by a person who pronounces God’s name at the time of killing.

In large metropolitan areas where food truck culture thrives, halal may also casually mean any flavor-bomb grilled meat dish like chicken, falafel or gyro served either platter-style on rice and veggies or wrapped in a pita with a red or white tahini sauce and crunchy fries. The popularity of these street carts and trucks has led to a few restaurateurs opening full-fledged eateries that focus exclusively on halal meals.

Halal Travel Guides

Halal travel is a fast-growing sector of the tourism industry. This market has grown significantly over the last few decades and is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. This segment is characterized by Muslim tourists who seek destinations that comply with Islamic dietary requirements.

Having access to reliable halal travel guides can make the trip planning process much easier and save time once you reach your destination. These guides will help you locate restaurants that offer food that complies with Islamic dietary guidelines. They will also provide you with tips on local attractions, shopping and halal-friendly accommodations.

Another way to make your halal holiday more enjoyable is to attend cultural events once you arrive at your destination. This can provide you with an authentic experience that will create memories that will last well beyond your vacation days. For example, if you’re visiting Indonesia, attending local festivals and events can be an excellent way to immerse yourself in the country’s culture.
