18 Destinations Every Muslim Millennial Should Visit Before 40

23/05/2016 //  by Muslim Travel Girl//  6 Comments

Everyone should have a bucket list. I know mine is a never ending list, so I have almost resorted just to write… the whole world, period! As with anything in life having a list makes you want to achieve more of it and for some reason I find this to be entirely true. When I write down the places I want to visit it, it always happens that I find hotel or flight deals to visit them.  

So just to reiterate my desire to visit these places I am putting a short list of all the places you should visit before 40. No particular reason why 40(well maybe because I only have 6 months before I hit 30)… plus it’s different. 🙂 

 

1. Makkah

18 Destinations Every Muslim Millennial Should Visit Before 40

For Muslims, this is the holiest place of all and the house of God. Visiting Makkah for Hajj is an obligation upon every able Muslim, but even a visit for Umrah is strongly recommended. I have to say it is a beautiful and calming place definitely a must-visit place. You can check out the many travel tips I have here on how to perform Umrah without breaking the bank.

 

2. Jerusalem 

18 Destinations Every Muslim Millennial Should Visit Before 40

It is also an important monument for Muslims. I would love to visit one day not only for its Muslim heritage but also its Christian heritage. I wanted to visit as Christian and there is no better opportunity then combining both. One thing that puts me off is the hassle I might receive at the airport since I have heard horror stories.  I know I shouldn’t be stereotyping so I hope I will be planning it a trip soon.

 

3. Iceland – Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. It is a geothermal spa, whose warm waters are rich in minerals. It is considered that its waters help people with skin diseases.

 

4. Antelope Canyon, US

The Antelope Canyon is also located in Arizona, US in the Navajo nation. It is popular among tourists,but it is visited only by guided tours. However the colours and the views are definitely worth it.

 

5. Capilano Suspension Bridge, Vancouver, British Columbia

If you are afraid of heights this one is not for you. It is a simple suspension bridge, which crosses the Capilano river in British Columbia, Vancouver. It is 140 metres long and 70 meters above the river. It was originally built in 1889, and completely rebuilt in 1956.

Even if this is not a place with nature like most of the other places in this list, Times Square is an amazing must-go for someone who doesn’t mind being around a lot of people as it is one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the world.

 

15. The Maldives18 Destinations Every Muslim Millennial Should Visit Before 40
