Muslim Friendly Zanzibar

Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim island, which makes it one of the easiest beach destinations for Muslim travellers.

Food

Halal food is the norm across the island. Local restaurants and most hotels serve halal meat, and Stone Town's food scene is overwhelmingly halal. We can confirm the position at any specific hotel before you book.

Prayer

Mosques are everywhere, including in the smallest villages, and the call to prayer is part of daily life. Stone Town has several historic mosques.

Accommodation

Some resorts are alcohol-free and several have private beach villas with pools, which suits families wanting privacy. Tell us your requirements and we will match properties to them.

Ramadan

The island is quieter and the evenings come alive after iftar. Some restaurants reduce daytime service, and resorts continue as normal.
