The ultimate Muslim travel packing list

Posted: April 22nd, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Travelling around the world can be very exhausting due to heavy luggage, troublesome security checks and long flight duration. Busy preparation might also let you forget important stuff. So check out our ultimate Muslim travel packing list. If you do like it just print it out and place it over your working desk or on your fridge. Hopefully it helps ;)

1.) Travel Light: You don’t need five or six trousers, dozens of books or all the stuff from your bathroom just to look good. No need of paying hotel guys for carrying or storing your bags, fast security checks, no stress the evening before takeoff and just imagine how flexible you will be at your final destination. But don’t forget your passport, flight tickets and some money!

2.) Check your hand luggage twice: Do you really want to explain why you took that nail scissors with you? Or do you like to throw your expensive Hugo Boss perfume into the waste because it’s more than 100ml? So have a second look to avoid displeasing interrogation at the security check.

3.) Do you have a VISA: Entering a country might not always be that easy. Traveling within the European Union as an European is different as going to the US or elsewhere in the world. Before booking your travel package just have a short look on the embassy website of your destination to clear things up.

4.) Do you want Halal food on the airplane? If you aren’t keen on the veggie sandwich or just a cup of tea for your overseas flight claim your Halal meal while booking. At least every airline in the world offers that option!

5.) Muslim travel package: Last but not least don’t forget your Muslim travel package. It should include a local prayer time table, a compass to find the Qibla direction and a pocket prayer rug or a hand towel to pray on.

Did we forget anything or do you have the ultimate hint? Just drop a comment below!

    MashaAllah, 2 years ago, my then 8 yo daughter invented a portable prayer pack called the “Muslim on the Go” and while we go production samples manufactured in China, we really need an investor or partner to bring it to market. She won numerous invention awards and acknowledgment, including coverage in this national (U.S.) newspaper: http://blog.halaltrip.com/travel-ideas/the-ultimate-muslim-travel-packing-list/

    Mashallah these are good tips. I especially like the first one. Inshallah this year when I visit my husbands family, I told him I was bringing only enough things that fit in a small back pack.
