All the hotels in the tour are 4 star hotels, such as the Ramada chain, which include a tasty buffet breakfast, conference facilities for our daily classrooms, & modern ammenities such as wireless wifi, etc. The exact names of the hotels will be revealed about 2 months before the tour starts, as it depends on the final number joining and availability.

To keep the tour cost as low as possible and accomdate all types of travellers, our price only includes land services.

If you want to search for flights, we recommend google.com/flights as it is the cheapest flight search engine and the most advanced.

TIP: Try to research international flights to Madrid or Barcelona, then separetly another flight from Madrid to Malaga. The total cost might be cheaper than trying to search from your country direct to Malaga!

If you are from an EU member country, or have a passport from English-speaking countries (US, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, etc), then you don't need a visa to visit Spain. If you are from other parts of the world, then you may need to apply for a schengen visa from the Spanish embassy in your country.

The base price includes sharing a room with a second person. If you would like to have a private single room, you can add 120 pounds to the price.

We have a bus that picks up all tour participants from Malaga airport at 13:00 on the first day of the tour, heading to the city of Cordoba where the tour starts. There will be an agent at arrivals carrying a sign "Andalusian routes" waiting at the time. We will create a whatsapp group for the tour participants so we could communicate quickly and help you insha'Allah.

If you arrive a day before, you can enjoy the beautiful sights of Malaga and then meet us before 13:00 at the airport.

If you arrive after 13:00, you can go to Malaga train station and take a super fast to Cordoba station (45 minutes by 300km/hour train). Once in Cordoba, you can user uber or a local taxi to go to your hotel. Taxis are honest in Spain, and it takes only 5-8 Euros from the train station to reach your hotel. The hotel name will be announced 1 month before we leave and the information will be sent to you.

The first day will be a relaxing day, as people may arrive at different times due to having a later flight. Therefore, feel free to explore the beautiful old streets of Cordoba and absorb the Islamic atmosphere. We will have an introductory meeting at night (we will inform you about the time), but that will be optional too for those who are arriving late. The actual tour will start on the next day, so don't worry about arriving late on the first day of the tour. Your hotel room will be reserved and ready for you any time you arrive insha'Allah.

We offer both pick-up and drop-off from Malaga airport, but only on the begning and end days of the tour (You will need to send us your flight dates and numbers to arrange this).

If you arrive or leave on different days, then you may use a local taxi (we recommend using Uber), or if you are on a budget, you can use local buses as well (google maps and rome2rio websites will give you bus times).

Yes of course. You can extend your hotel stay on either arrival or departure.

The minimum number to run the tour is 16, and the max is 50. The buses are large enough to provide enough comfortable space for everyone.

The tour includes a breakfast buffet every day of your stay. Other meals are to be purchased seperaterely as to give our attendants maximum flexibility and variety according to their budgets. Spain is also full of cheap and tasty food (seafood and Halal options).

It is permissible for sisters to travel in safe groups insha'Allah, and Alhamdulillah we will have many sisters on our tour group. This is also the opinion that is followed in Saudi Arabia during Hajj times, as women are allowed to travel in Hajj groups.

The final day of the tour is a free-day, therefore, feel free to book your return flights any time on the last day. If you wish to stay longer to enjoy the sights and attractions of Malaga, you may do so.

The best way to get local money is to use the ATM machine and choose the charge in local currency. Your bank charges much lower rates than exchange offices. It is also recommended that you bring some dollars, euros, or UK pounds as emergency money.

However, if you would like to exchange the cash you have for the local currency, avoid the airport exchange office, even if they advertise "0% comission", as they will make more than 10% on the unfavourable exchange rate. Instead, exchange from the local foreign currency shops in the city. Observe the difference between the "buy" and "sell" rate, and if the difference is small, it means you have a good rate (1-3% difference of internet rate max).

If you travel frequenctly, useful way is to use a multicurrency debit card, such as transferwise, which gives you almost the same real time internet rate close to 0.5% percent. Here is the link to sign up: https://transferwise.com/u/waleede3

The downpayment paid for the tour is non-refundable. However, we would be able to transfer the down payment to another tour for a small administrative fee, as long as we receive the change request a minimum 30 days before the tour.

Once it is 30 days before the tour, the full amount is non-refundable and non-transferable. We may at our discretion be able to give you a full or partial refund if cancelling your group would not affect the minimum number of participants to run the tour, or our logistical costs. That being said, while we cannot make any guarantees, we will try our best to help you when it is possible, as we understand that emergencies do happen. You may be able to purchase a travel insurance if you expect a disruption to your travel plans.

That depends on the season as explained below:

Summer: Light cloth, sunscreen, swimsuit, and an umbrella if you would like to block the sun. You may also carry or purchase a hand fan for noon time (although we will try to avoid peak heat times by being in shaded areas, air-conditioned bus, or lunch in an air conditioned restaurant).

Winter: Winter at day time is mild (20 to 16 Celsius, or 70 to 60 Fahrenheit), but could get cold at night or when visiting a mountainous area. Bring a few layers to adjust to the varrying temperatures throughout the day (shirt, sweater, and light amd heavy jacket). If you are sensitive to cold, then you may also bring a neck scarf and winter hat. There are occasioal mild rains, so you may bring an umbrella or a rain jacket with hoodie if you wish. Spring or Autumn: Not hot and not cold. It is perfect :) The weather is generally warm in those seasons. Light clothes and occasionally light jacket for cloudy nights are recommended.
