Till a few years ago, countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Middle East countries were the only popular halal holiday destinations. However, things have changed for good for Muslim travelers. More and more travelers are packing up their bags, and traveling to even remote destinations which has started to encourage more Muslim travelers to visit them.
Earlier, it was a challenging feat to find a hotel or restaurant in a destination that is not in Middle East which accommodates the Muslim-friendly requirements.
