I love finding true halal hotel and Doha has many of them for which I am very excited to share, this time it is the Halal Hotel Tivoli Al Wakrah.

Four Seasons Seychelles A Stunning Hotel in Seychelles for a Muslim Friendly Honeymoon with Halal Food
When I was young I really wanted to go to Seychelles, mostly because there was a Greek song about going to Seychelles for vacation and ever since then it stuck with me. Mind you I didn’t even know where they were as I was only 13 years old. I had tried to visit several times in the past few years as most flights from Europe these days are very affordable at around £350-£450 mark but it always … [Read more...]

Hotel Review: Four Seasons Doha – Excellent hotel for a stopover in Doha or a Staycation
When I moved to Doha, I heard the term staycation. I never had a real staycation; it was mostly a mattress run for points or a real travel trip to a different city. I don't think I have ever stayed in a hotel in my town. But being in Doha staycations do rub off on you, and so we decided to give it a go. It was our anniversary weekend, so we thought we would check out one of the best hotels in … [Read more...]

On this trip, I decided to check out the new Marriott Downtown which opened in the past few months. … [Read more...]
