PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Muslims living in the United States, Europe and other areas where Islamic patterns of life are not predominant have limited opportunities to gain meaningful first-hand insight into the rich heritage of Islam and the cultures around the world that reflect it. These Muslims may travel abroad in order to perform the Hajj or Umra. Some visit their homeland or that of their parents for brief visits, but do not learn about other regions or peoples outside their particular culture. Yet others seek out interesting vacation destinations.

IslamiCity's Travel Study program address all three dimensions of travel. The various tours offered emphasize learning about Islamic heritage in a given region, thus enriching Muslims' religious identity and hopefully stimulating spiritual growth. The tours also provide participants with cultural exposure and experiences, engendering a greater global connection among Muslims, and among people of different ethnicities and nationalities generally. Last but not least, the tours provide excellent itineraries for Muslims seeking a travel adventure or a vacation from routine life.

PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
The tour is open to Muslim adult individuals, married couples, and families. College-age students in particular are encouraged to take part. Individuals must be at least 18 years of age. Younger participants in their teens must be accompanied by a responsible parent or suitable guardian. Families with children under 7 years should consider their ability to travel at a fast pace in a group context before enrolling. Participants should be in good physical condition with no serious health issues, as the program is packed with full days of activities, and is somewhat physically demanding (walking and hiking).

A completed registration form with payment of a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot on the program.  Register early. Space is always limited due to IslamiCity's policy of organizing small group tours of no more than 25 travelers, to provide a more personalized experience.
