The halal standards, in detail **Halal dining.** Every restaurant used on a departure is Muslim-owned, halal-certified, or verified in person by the local team. No alcohol is served and no pork enters the kitchen. Seafood and vegetarian backups are pre-planned at every stop, and each traveller's guide carries a translated dietary card. **Prayer times.** The schedule is built around prayer times rather than the other way round. Mosque stops are written into every day. Friday prayer is held at a historic mosque where the itinerary allows, and the day plan keeps flexibility for wudu and for longer travel days. **Group environment.** Alcohol-free, with a written code of conduct. Departures include mixed groups, family-friendly departures, and sisters-only departures on selected dates. Solo women can be roomed with another sister and can request a female guide on the sisters-only departure. **Group size.** Sixteen travellers maximum, twelve on average. ## 3.
