Useful Info & UAE Muslim tourists in Vietnam

• Vietnam is increasingly friendly toward Halal tourism. Many hotels & restaurants in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are adapting to serve halal food and to provide prayer facilities.
• Major cities have mosques:
  • Al Noor Mosque in Hanoi (Hoàn Kiếm).
  • Saigon Central Mosque, Al Rahim Mosque in Ho Chi Minh City.
• For halal food:
  • Several halal / halal‑friendly restaurants in Da Nang (e.g. Halal Food Karim)
  • In Hanoi, some food stations/restaurants in the Old Quarter serve halal style Vietnamese food.
  • In Ho Chi Minh City, there are halal restaurants, and districts/areas with higher concentration of Muslim‑friendly food.
• When eating local dishes, always ask whether the food contains pork or uses pork-based broths/ingredients; many dishes might have hidden non-halal components.
• Prayer times: Most hotels will help with Qibla direction; carrying a prayer mat is useful. Mosques are less frequent outside major cities.

Tips for Smooth Travel

Cu Chi Tunnels

1. Language & communication: Learn a few Malay/Arabic words or have them written for “No pork”, “Halal”, etc. Vietnamese for pork is “heo” or “lợn” — useful to know.
2. Halal apps & maps: Use maps apps or sites listing halal restaurants to plan ahead in each city.
3. Accommodations: Choose hotels in central areas, preferably with prayer facilities or mosques nearby. Hotel staff in big cities tend to be more experienced with Muslim guests.
4. Clothing & culture: Vietnam is mostly conservative, but in bigger cities things are more relaxed. Respect local customs, especially in pagodas, temples (cover shoulders/knees etc.).
5. Weather / travel pace: Depending on season (rainy/wet in South, cooler in North in winter) plan accordingly.

If you tell me which city you’ll land in, what kind of trip you prefer (luxury vs budget, nature vs culture vs food), and whether there are any must‑see places, I can draft a fully detailed plan for your 3 days. Do you want me to do that?
