Almost everyone loves to see other cultures and beautiful landscapes. It opens your eyes, when you see more of the world, your mind will become richer. It can change your perspective, meeting folks from exotic cultures will teach you that the way you look at the world is not the way everybody does. Maybe travelling can be also a good challenge for you to learn who you are but most of all, traveling will give you cool stories to tell.

You can see modest and Muslim women everywhere, but in different perceptions and other values and standards. It’s very interesting to see how every country can make their own way of modesty.

Despite of all the positive things why you should travel, sometimes it can be difficult to travel as a woman especially when you wear a hijab, headscarf. So without any further or due, here is our first modest holiday destination  where you can enjoy, relax and get a well deserved tan as a hijabi.
