What You Will See

Hanoi and Al-Noor Mosque

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum area, the Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter, with a visit to Al-Noor Mosque. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is closed on Mondays and Fridays and usually for about two months of maintenance each autumn; on those days we swap in another Hanoi sight.

Halong Bay by day

A day cruise among the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a cave visit and time on deck. The drive is about 2.5 hours each way on the expressway.

Hoa Lu and Tam Coc

Hoa Lu was Vietnam’s capital from 968 to 1010. At Tam Coc you sit in a rowing boat for about two hours, gliding through rice fields and three caves under the karst cliffs.

Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi and the Mekong

The Independence Palace and the Saigon Central Mosque, the Cu Chi Tunnels and a boat day in the Mekong Delta at My Tho and Ben Tre.

Halal Food and Mosques

Meals are certified halal wherever a halal restaurant is available; where there is none, we agree alternatives with you in advance, such as vegetarian dishes, seafood without meat or halal-friendly food. In Hanoi the Al-Noor Mosque at 12 Hang Luoc Street in the Old Quarter is the only mosque in northern Vietnam, and halal restaurants are clustered nearby – see our halal restaurants in Hanoi guide. In Ninh Binh and on the Saigon days we reserve halal restaurants in advance. The Halong Bay day boats do not have a halal kitchen: lunch on board is seafood and vegetables cooked without pork or alcohol; a halal lunch in Halong City can be arranged instead at extra cost. See our halal food in Halong guide.

Ho Chi Minh City is the easiest place in Vietnam to eat halal: around the Saigon Central Mosque on Dong Du Street and in the Cham quarter there are many halal restaurants, and we reserve the ones we trust for your lunches and dinners. See our halal restaurants in Saigon guide. The Saigon Central Mosque (Jamia Al-Muslimin) at 66 Dong Du Street, District 1, is in the city centre and is part of the city tour.

Who This Tour Is For

For a first trip to Vietnam that covers the classic highlights with halal food arranged for you, private transport and a guide in each city. Domestic flights are included in the route plan; check the Inclusion tab for what is covered. It is a full programme – if you prefer slow travel, ask us to add rest days.

  • Book the Hanoi–Saigon flight early in peak months (December to April); fares rise fast.
  • If you arrive on a Monday or Friday, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is closed – we rearrange the Hanoi day.
  • Hanoi is cool from December to February; pack a jacket for the north even if Saigon is hot.
  • Tam Coc rice fields are greenest in May and golden in late May–early June.
  • Carry repellent for Cu Chi and the Mekong.

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.

You choose the hotel standard, and the price is based on a superior twin, double or triple room with daily breakfast.

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.

12. When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta?

The dry season, from December to April, is the most comfortable time. From May to November it is the rainy season, but rain usually comes as short afternoon showers, so tours still run normally. See our Saigon travel guide.

13. Can I customize this tour?

Yes. Every tour on our website is a sample itinerary. As a private tour, you can change the dates, hotels, pace and sightseeing, add extra days, or combine it with other trips such as Vietnam Muslim Travel Package 8 Days, Vietnam Muslim Travel Package 10 Days, Vietnam Muslim highlight tours.

The Best 7-Day Vietnam Muslim Tour from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City

"We recently had the pleasure of joining the 7-Day Vietnam Muslim Tour from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City organized by Vietnam Muslim Tours – Asia Travel Expert Co., Ltd. This tour exceeded all my expectations and provided a seamless and enriching experience.

From the moment we arrived in Hanoi, we were immersed in the city's rich history and vibrant culture. The tour included visits to iconic landmarks, and the knowledgeable guides made the experience even more memorable. The day trip to Hoa Lu and Tam Coc was breathtaking, with stunning landscapes and fascinating historical insights.

Halong Bay was a true highlight of the trip. The overnight cruise allowed us to soak in the beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The seafood served on the cruise was delicious and catered perfectly to our dietary needs.

In Ho Chi Minh City, we explored the bustling metropolis, visited the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, and experienced the vibrant river life of the Mekong Delta. The itinerary was well-balanced, ensuring we saw all the key attractions without feeling rushed.

One of the standout features of this tour was the exceptional culinary experience. We enjoyed Halal meals at top-notch restaurants in Hanoi, Tam Coc, and Ho Chi Minh City. On the Halong Bay cruise, we were served delectable seafood dishes that were both satisfying and Halal-friendly.

The accommodations were comfortable and Muslim-friendly, and the tour guides were attentive to our needs, ensuring a faith-compliant experience throughout. The detailed planning and consideration for Muslim travelers were evident in every aspect of the tour.

I highly recommend this 7-Day Vietnam Muslim Tour from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City to any Muslim traveler looking for a comprehensive and enjoyable trip. Vietnam Muslim Tours – Asia Travel Expert Co., Ltd has truly perfected the art of Muslim-friendly travel, making this tour a must-do for anyone visiting Vietnam."
