From the modern mosques and mall prayer rooms of Kuala Lumpur to the sheltered tropical villas of Langkawi... A 100% Muslim-friendly route you will travel with peace of mind.
The capital Kuala Lumpur (KL for short) has a dizzying modernity with its famous Petronas Twin Towers and giant shopping malls. However, there is a tremendous detail that distinguishes this city from European metropolises: Prayer rooms! In the most beautiful corners of giant shopping malls, theme parks, or airports in Malaysia, there are clean, carpeted mosques with ablution rooms separated for men and women called 'Surau'. Instead of panicking when it is prayer time while touring the city with your family, following the nearest sign and performing your worship in an air-conditioned and peaceful Surau is priceless. In addition, you should visit the Wilayah Mosque, a masterpiece of modern Islamic architecture inspired by Al-Masjid an-Nabawi located in the heart of the city, and the National Mosque (Masjid Negara) nestled in greenery with your children and absorb the spiritual climate of the Far East.
Far Eastern cuisine is generally known for the colorful foods sold in Asian streets. So, can you eat everything sold on the streets of Malaysia safely? Yes! The JAKIM institution, affiliated with the Malaysian government, has one of the strictest and most reliable halal certification systems in the world. When you see that famous round 'Halal Malaysia' logo in the window of a restaurant, cafe, or street vendor, you can be 100% sure that everything from the meat in it to the oil used is in accordance with Islamic procedures. Going to the night markets (Pasar Malam) in areas like Jalan Alor or Kampung Baru as a family and tasting Nasi Lemak, chicken or meat Satay (skewers), and those famous tropical fruit juices without any doubt is the most delicious and peaceful side of this trip.
If you want to get away from city life a bit and enjoy the sea and the sun, you should turn your route to the island of Langkawi, the pearl of the Andaman Sea. This place is almost specially designed for the conservative holiday concept. On the island, there are tremendous luxury villas surrounded by lush tropical rainforests and high walls, with a private pool for your family. Thanks to this sheltered structure, you can enjoy the pool and the sun in complete privacy with your spouse or children without feeling the obligation of a burkini. Riding the island's famous cable car (Langkawi SkyCab) during the day and watching the ocean from above the clouds or taking a family boat tour in the mangrove forests; and returning to your own villa in the evenings and eating your halal food under the stars will turn your Malaysia holiday into a perfect fairytale.
