Family Fun, Faithfully: Muslim-Friendly Activities for Your Trip

Travelling with your family is a great way to get closer, show them the world, and create lasting memories that count. So what does a Muslim family-friendly holiday look like?

Finding activities that cater to both families and religions can be difficult, especially in the West but we’ve decided to make your life that much easier by putting together a basic guide of ideas for you to consider during your next holidays.

Mosque Visits

Combining religion, history and fun could be easily done with mosque visits. This way, your children can immerse themselves in the beautiful architecture while also learning about local Islamic traditions, bringing them closer to their faith.

Culture Centres

Visiting these cultural centres that are catered for Muslims is a great way to meet people who have the same morals and values. Meeting people on holiday and forming bonds is far from abnormal so why not take the family where the kids can socialise safely and you can relax talking to other like-minded people?

Connect to Nature

Exploring the natural wonders of the world and appreciating the creations of Allah while you are on holiday is a must, so why not take a look for any family-friendly hikes or guided tours through the national parks? There are so many natural and historic places to visit when travelling abroad so it would be a real shame to deprive the family of an opportunity to explore. This would be a fun-filled day and experience for any family.

Local Islamic Performances

Check out the local culture and see what activities they offer, depending on where you go to visit or whether it’s a touristy location, but see what you can find, whether it be Islamic-inspired entertainment such as storytelling, nasheed performances and much more. This way, you can have just as much fun as the kids when watching it all unfold.

Halal Food Adventures

While on holiday, you are missing out if you don't sample the local cuisine, so be on the hunt for halal food. This way, you and the family could enjoy some hearty sustenance on your time off. Whether it is street food or even cooking classes, you can all get your hands dirty. There is a little something for everyone, no matter what or where you go.

Aqua Fun

Everyone loves to splash around in the water, especially kids so dedicate some downtime for them to enjoy, whether it be at a beach or a water park. Just remember to pack some modest swimwear and even swimwear hijabs if needed. It would be nice to take a day off from the culture and walk around the new place. and is a great way to appreciate where you are and spend some quality time together.

When it comes to activities Muslim families can enjoy, the world is their oyster. Sticking to places with a strong sense of Muslim views and beliefs will ensure that everything is family-friendly but also culturally inspiring. There is no doubt that these little things can’t be incorporated into your day-to-day activities.
