Who This Tour Suits – and Who Should Choose Another

Good for: first-time visitors who want to see the whole country in a little over a week, with halal meals and a private guide in each region.
Choose another tour if you also want Ninh Binh – take the Vietnam Muslim Tour 10 Days – or Hue and the Hai Van Pass – see the Vietnam Muslim Tour 11 Days.
Keep in mind: there are two domestic flights, booked separately.

Is 9 Days Enough for Vietnam?

Nine days is enough for the classic highlights of the north, centre and south, with one flight between each region. With 10–12 days you can add Ninh Binh, Hue or Sapa at a slower pace.

Customize Your Vietnam Muslim Tour 9 Days

Upgrade the night on the bay to the halal-kitchen Mon Chéri cruise.
Add a day in Ninh Binh: Hoa Lu and Tam Coc.
Add halal dinners in Hoi An and Danang.
