Halal holidays

Salaams

Where can I go on holiday that's not too far and expensive where I can:
Wear modest swimwear and not get looked at funny
Eat halal and not worry about what the chips have been fried in.
I'm bored of Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco!

Literally nowhere else

Parts of Spain have halal food and muslim friendly hotels. We looked at tenerife a while back. Otherwise u do have to venture further like Uae and gulf states.

I've not been yet, so not sure of swi. Situation but bosnia? It's on my list. Otherwise turkey is a safe bet I know you said no but try a different psrt of turkey or mix it up with one of the cities.
South Spain- malaga/ granada/ cordoba

Are you OK with sea food? Greek Islands were a dream. But seafood and salads galore.

What about Egypt. ?

Where abouts and which hotels pls

You can eat vegetarian food on holiday. Also, most countries have a Muslim presence so you can seek out restaurants you're comfortable with. If you're prepared to go beyond the Med, Gambia is nice. Cape Verde, Tanzania, Djibouti. Caribbean is far but flights including hotels aren't that expensive. Wearing modest swimwear is fine in all those places.

There isn't if you are in the UK then those are the closest at places. How about Algeria? Or Egypt?

Centerparcs?

Some posters may find it funny, but I went to Centerparcs, wore my Islamic swimsuit, and no one batted an eyelid. The DC loved it there. Weather was hot and it felt like a foreign holiday.

Same for countries in the Caribbean. They're way too chilled politically to care what someone else wears. It's France and French influenced regions where the problem is.
