JOIN US FOR A HISTORIC TOUR OF ISLAMIC SPAIN
ISLAMIC SPAIN: 29 September to 4 October 2024
Discover the amazing legacy of 700 years of Muslim rule and admire how a great civilization was brought to Europe. We will visit the legendary city of Cordoba, once the capital of Andalusia. We will also travel to historical Seville and the incredible Granada in a six-day and five-night guided tour.
You’ll explore world-renowned cultural and natural treasures, from UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Madinat al Zahra and the Great Mosque of Cordoba to the mind-blowing and breathtakingly beautiful Alhambra, the most visited site in Spain. Then, we’ll take you off the beaten track to meet local indigenous Spanish Muslims and hear their stories. You’ll witness both the tragic end of this glorious history and the hopeful blossoming of new Muslim communities in Spain 500 years later.
Throughout the programs, you will learn about the key lessons on the successes and failures of Islamic Spain and the parallels with today’s world. These lessons are a legacy that we hope you will use to transform your lives and your local communities.
Join us as we visit amazing mosques, archaeological sites, interactive museums, historical palaces, and the breathtaking fort & gardens of Alhambra!

TESTIMONIALS
I loved the trip, the people were very attentive, cordial, and collaborative. The organization was excellent. It is one of the best trips I have ever taken in my life. Satisfaction and excitement surpass fatigue. And I loved the fact that the trip was more for obtaining knowledge than for any other purpose. We need you to do this tour in Spanish for non-Muslims. in Sha Allah. Jazakum Allah Khairan.
It was a very eye-opening experience to learn about the life history of Muslims in Spain and gain an abundance of knowledge through Brother Tariq and the tour guides. Overall it was amazing.
The experience was amazing & it was a wonderful opportunity to meet other Muslims & learn Islamic history. The staff answered questions & guides were informative.
