      Trip Dates

      Thursday 3rd - Monday 7th August 

      Airport Transfer Window

      ARRIVAL TRANSFER: On Thursday from 10 am - 12 pm (2-hour window)

      Many airlines including British Airways, EasyJet and Jet2 all fly direct to Dubrovnik Airport, where our driver will pick you up and take you across the border into Bosnia.  


      DEPARTURE TRANSFER: On Monday, your plane should depart after 12:30 pm, to give you time to get to the airport from Bosnia, which takes around 2.5 hours to drive from Mostar-Dubrovnik Airport. You can choose an even later flight and spend the afternoon exploring Dubrovnik at your leisure (it's entirely up to you).


      Arrival/Departure Airport:  Dubrovnik (DBV)


      These transfer windows have been planned to align with most international flights to Dubrovnik. We welcome guests from all nationalities and countries to join the trip and can arrange separate airport transfers where necessary, for an additional fee of £160.

      I had a fantastic tour and trip to Uzbekistan with Halal Travel Guide and 100% recommend it. Our itinerary was perfect, we saw so much in 6 days but it didn't feel too fast paced and we had time to relax and do our own thing. Our guide, Humoyun was great, he told us so much about his country and was incredibly patient with us ladies who liked to take photos and shop. I loved the experiences of the plov making, pottery and calligraphy and having 2 local female guides in 2 of the cities. All 3 hotels were clean, well located and felt very safe and secure and getting the bullet train twice made travelling really easy and enjoyable.

      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.
