Top 9 halal friendly holiday destination

1.     Malaysia: Malaysia definitely tops the rankings of top halal friendly destinations in the world. Halal holidays in Malaysia can be experienced in a unique way by Muslim tourists. The country’s incomparable historical and cultural heritage as well as their ‘expertise’ in halal hospitality, sets Malaysia in the first position among the top Muslim holidays destinations.
2.     Turkey: Turkey has two big unique selling points in the halal tourism industry; it is a Muslim country and at the same time a leader in the global hospitality industry. Who can possibly offer you a better service for your halal holidays, than the Turks? Definitely a must-visit country for Muslim holidays.
3.     UAE: As one of the strongest economies in the Middle East, United Arab Emirates have an outstanding halal tourism infrastructure. Not only is it a country that the holy norms are adopted by the Law, but also the luxury that the Emirati tourism offers is simply phenomenal.
4.     Morocco: A Muslim country yet with a lot of central European elements, Morocco is one of the most popular destinations not just for Muslims but for the whole world too. Where modernity and intellect meet traditional Islam, Muslim visitors can have an unforgettable experience in Morocco.
5.     Spain: Once conquered by the Arabs, Spain is still one of the top Muslim-friendly countries in Europe. The country chose to keep many Islamic elements in its art and culture, embedded in the contemporary Spanish tradition. Interestingly enough, a Mosque doesn’t look at all foreign in Andalusia. The Spanish Government soon realised that Muslims can have a second home in Europe, thus they started developing the halal tourism sector.
6.     Malta: Could the land of the Knights, symbol of the Western European culture, be considered a halal holiday destination? And yet, because of the island’s geographical proximity with the Northern African Muslim countries as well as the Gulf countries, it has lately attracted much interest from Muslim tourists. This created a basic level of infrastructure for halal tourism facilities, particularly when it comes to Villas, that they offer Muslim couples and families the privacy they need.
7.     Egypt: Another North African country, other than Morocco, that is exceptionally popular among Muslim tourists, due to its immense historical and cultural heritage, but also its luxury. Egypt is a must-visit for Muslims who want to experience and explore this marriage between the Ancient Egyptian civilisation and traditional Islam. Apart from cultural holidays, Egypt as one of the top halal holiday destinations in the world, offers a wide range of halal hotels and resorts.
8.     Jordan
9.     Qatar

The Kaaba (The Cube) is a building at the center of Islam's most important mosque, that is Masjid-al-Haram, Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba is the epicenter of Mecca. The cube-shaped structure is the most sacred site in Islam . It is considered by Muslims to be the Bayt Allah "House of God". Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing Salat. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba.

It is the only place on Earth that you can pray in any direction you want. Until recently, the Kaaba was opened twice a week for anyone to enter and pray.
