Malaysia is one of the most comfortable destinations for Muslim travellers in Southeast Asia: a majority-Muslim country where halal food is everywhere, mosques are abundant, and the culture is warm and welcoming. From the glittering Petronas Towers of Kuala Lumpur to the UNESCO-listed streets of George Town in Penang and the ancient rainforests of the Cameron Highlands, this group trip offers a rich mix of city, culture, and nature. Prayer times are always accounted for in our itinerary.
