Be it a family vacation, business trip or spiritual journey, there are a few travel essentials that will be useful for every Muslim traveller. To help travel planning, we have compiled a list of travel essentials that will enable Muslim travellers to enjoy a hassle-free travel experience.
Prayer Mats: Prayer mats are amongst the most basic and essential items for a Muslim traveller to carry around with them. Plastic-lined mats specially crafted for travelling are ideal for this since they are highly durable, light-weight and do not get soiled easily. These mats usually come with a travel bag that make them easy to carry around – which will be useful when sight-seeing or visiting places at prayer times, when a mosque is not available in close proximity.

Prayer Attire: Travellers should remember to pack prayer dresses and a few extra headscarves. Some hotels and prayer facilities do offer prayer dresses for travellers – which you will be able to call and find out in advance.
Water Bottles: Always carry a water bottle around with you when travelling. In addition to keeping you hydrated, it will be useful at times when clean water is not accessible for wudu. Travellers should also take care not to refill bottles with tap water which could be contaminated with impurities.
Snacks: Due to to the limited availability of Halal food at certain destinations, it is advisable to carry around a few snacks for times when Halal food is inaccessible. Do a bit of planning prior to travelling to find out whether Halal food will be available at the hotel or at the destination and bring your own food to places where Halal food seems to be scarce.
Essential Documents: Last but not least, ensure that you keep a copy of essential documents such as personal identification documents with you at all times. Always carry around a copy of your identity card, passport and visa documents to avoid any mishaps and problems that might arise during travelling.
