Hanoi Muslim Travel Package 5 Days – 4 Nights

Lunches and dinners in Hanoi and Ninh Binh are served at halal restaurants, as listed in the itinerary.

Meals on the overnight Halong Bay cruise are seafood, with no meat. If you would like halal meals on board, ask us to upgrade the cruise to Mon Chéri Cruises, which has a separate halal kitchen, as in our Halong Bay Muslim Cruise 2 Days 1 Night.

Yes. This is a private tour, so your guide plans the day around prayer times and stops whenever you need to pray. In Hanoi, the Al-Noor Mosque at 12 Hang Luoc Street in the Old Quarter is the only mosque in northern Vietnam and holds Friday prayer every week. On the cruise you can pray in your cabin, so bring a prayer mat and a qibla app. You can also ask us to include a mosque visit in your itinerary. Read our guide to Islam in Vietnam for more about mosques and Muslim communities in Vietnam.

This package is priced on request because the cost depends on the hotel standard you choose (for example 3, 4 or 5 star), your travel dates and your group size. Send your dates and group size through the Tour Inquiry form or by email at muslimtours@vietnamtourexpert.com or on WhatsApp at +84 88 626 1368, and we will reply with a detailed quote the same day, or within 48 hours at the latest.

Yes. You travel only with your own family or group, with a private guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle, whatever your group size.

Included: a local English-speaking guide (other languages on request), hotel accommodation with daily breakfast, the halal meals listed in the itinerary, private air-conditioned transport, entrance fees to the sights, a shared overnight Halong Bay cruise with shuttle bus transfers, and the boat trip in Tam Coc, and bottled water.

Not included: international and domestic flights, travel insurance, drinks and personal expenses, and tips for the guide and driver.

Halong Bay is about 150–170 km from Hanoi. Thanks to the expressways, the drive takes about 2.5–3 hours each way, with a short rest stop on the way.

Both are beautiful. Trang An, part of the Trang An Landscape Complex UNESCO World Heritage Site (2014), takes you through a longer route of limestone caves and temples. Tam Coc, which means “three caves”, follows a river through rice fields and three caves, and is a little shorter. Choose Hoa Lu – Trang An Muslim Tour 1 Day for more caves, or Hoa Lu – Tam Coc Muslim Tour 1 Day for rice-field scenery.

No. The Mausoleum is open only in the morning and is closed on Mondays and Fridays. It also closes for about two months each year for maintenance (in 2026, from 4 September to 2 November). When it is closed, you can still visit the Presidential Palace area, Uncle Ho’s stilt house and the One Pillar Pagoda nearby. Please wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees.

It depends on your passport. Citizens of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand can visit Vietnam for up to 30 days without a visa, the Philippines for 21 days and Brunei for 14 days. Travellers from the Gulf states, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India need an e-visa, which you can apply for on the official website evisa.gov.vn: it is valid for up to 90 days, costs 25 USD for single entry or 50 USD for multiple entry, and usually takes about 3 working days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Visa rules can change, so please check before you travel.

You choose the hotel standard, and the price is based on a superior twin, double or triple room with daily breakfast. Hotel breakfasts in Vietnam are generally not halal-certified, although buffets usually include eggs, fruit, bread, rice and seafood or vegetarian dishes. If you need a halal breakfast, tell us when you book and we will advise which hotels can provide it, or arrange breakfast at a halal restaurant.

The most pleasant months are March to May and September to November, with mild temperatures and less rain. Winter (December to February) can be cool, with January lows around 10°C in Hanoi, while June to August is hot and humid with tropical storms. See our Hanoi travel guide for more tips.

March to May and September to November usually bring calm seas and clear views. From July to October, tropical storms can occur, and the authorities suspend cruises for safety when a storm is coming. If your cruise is cancelled for weather, we will offer you another date or an alternative itinerary. See our Halong Bay travel guide.
