Travelling in Ramadan is not a compromise if the trip is built for it. Malaysia is the easiest halal country on earth — halal is the default, bazaars open every afternoon and mosques fill at night — and we run this departure around the month rather than despite it: later starts, iftar with the group every evening, tarawih arranged nightly, and sightseeing in the hours that are actually pleasant when you are fasting.

Halal food & prayer

Malaysia is the easiest halal country on earth. Every included meal is halal, and the Ramadan bazaars give you more choice in the evening than a restaurant could.

Tarawih is arranged nightly at a mosque near the hotel, and all five prayers are built into the day rather than fitted around sightseeing.
