• Use apps like Zabihah, HalalTrip, or Google Maps (“Halal restaurant near me”).

2. Prayer Facilities:

• Mosques available in major cities. Bring a portable prayer mat and compass app for Qibla.

3. Avoid Pork & Alcohol:

• Always confirm ingredients; many local dishes contain pork or pork broth. Stick to seafood, vegetarian, or halal-certified places.

4. Vietnam Visa for UAE Citizens:

• As of now, UAE citizens need an eVisa for Vietnam. Apply online before arrival (takes ~3–5 days).

5. Currency:

• Local currency is VND (Vietnamese Dong). Credit cards accepted in cities; carry cash for markets.
