      About this trip

       Ladies, this adventure is exclusively for you!

      Get ready to explore some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe, with cascading waterfalls, jade-green rivers and breathtaking mountain scenery. Best of all, you don't have to worry about searching for halal food, whether there's a place to pray or if you can wear your burkini. We've got that all covered!

      Here's what Ayan had to say when she joined us on this trip in July 2022: 

      My First adventure with HTG.

      "I recently went to Bosnia with HTG on a woman's only retreat and as it was my first solo trip i was a bit anxious about what the whole experience would hold but i had nothing to worry about as I was made to feel absolutely welcomed and part of the group. Was able to make amazing memories, shared lots of laughs, met wonderful people and truly had a great adventure on this holiday.
      HTG provided us with not only great accommodation, stunning food, amazing guides, easy transports, beautiful locations to explore and education on the history of the country. But also the opportunity to make true long lasting friendships along the way.
      I was truly lucky to share this trip with absolutely wonderful sisters who became family by the end.

      I would no doubt recommend HTG to anyone. Being able to travel feeling safe and secure among a group who want to learn, explore and genuinely have fun same as you."

      Itinerary

      Day 1
      Welcome to Bosnia

      Dobrodosli o Bosno!

      Welcome to Bosnia!


      Technically, it's also Welcome to Croatia, since this is where you'll be arriving. We've arranged to pick you up at Dubrovnik Airport, and then take you across the border into Bosnia. Enjoy the scenic views as you're driven along the Adriatic Coast!


      Once we're across the border, we'll head towards the scenic town of Stolac for lunch. You'll have some time to freshen up and walk around here, along with making a trip to the local mini waterfall. 


      Special activity: We've arranged for you to visit one of the oldest and most beautiful Muslim houses in the area, where you'll take part in a fig-cake-making activity. Fig-cake is a Stolac speciality and once you've tried Azra's recipe, you won't want to try any other!

      This evening you'll spend your first night in Mostar, at our 4* hotel.  

      Pro tips: If you're taking an early-morning flight, bring some snacks such as fresh fruit and nuts with you, to keep you energised. The drive from Dubrovnik - Stolac is between 2-3 hours.

      Overnight in Mostar

      I recently went on a trip that was not only stress-free but also deeply enriching. The focus on Islam allowed me to fully embrace my faith, ensuring I didn't miss a single prayer. The company was fantastic, and I made some incredible friends along the way. Overall, it was a perfect 10 out of 10 experience, and I would jump at the chance to do it all over again.

      When I was a child, my parents told me about what happened in Bosnia in the 90’s. Since then this country has always stuck in my head. Alhamdullilah, I managed to get some time off work to visit this amazing country and wouldn't have chosen any other company to go with. Halal Travel Guide have years of experience and that was evident throughout the course of the trip. They focus on real life story telling which impacts your heart greatly. Soumayya, Salma and Nedim were absolutely excellent and I couldn't have asked for better guides. Thank you HTG for organising this trip and I hope to be back with you in the near future InshAllah.

The dedicated staff contributed to a warm and welcoming atmosphere, creating a memorable and rejuvenating escape. Highly recommended for those seeking a delightful getaway.
