Tips for travelers from the UAE

To make your trip more convenient, travelers from the UAE (or places with high Halal requirements) can refer to the following tips:

1. Before going

• Check if the hotel/resort is labeled “Halal‑friendly” or “Halal certified”, or at least has a pork/alcohol-free diet, and has a prayer room.
• Bring along Halal restaurant finder app or Halal guides in Vietnam.
• Ask the hotel if they provide prayer facilities, mats, Kiblat directions, Quran if needed.

2. While in Vietnam

• Choose big cities / popular tourist spots (Hanoi, Da Nang, Ha Long, Ho Chi Minh City) because of better ability to find Halal services.
• If you come to Quang Ninh, Da Nang, or other provinces that are promoting Halal tourism, you should ask local information about Halal restaurants and Ramadan (if the time is right).
• Be proactive about asking about diet and precautions (e.g. milk, gelatin, animal derived additives are problematic vs Halal).
• Respect prayer times — many places will be flexible if you ask in advance.

3. Cultural exchange & relaxation

• Clothing should be more conservative, especially when visiting religious sites.
• When interacting with hotel or restaurant staff: avoid unnecessary physical contact between men and women if this is permitted in your Islamic culture.
• Carry a guide or map of mosques so you can find them quickly when you need to pray.
