Spain And Morocco Islamic Heritage Tour

As you arrive at Madrid airport, your host Muslim guide and driver will be waiting for you to greet you and then transfer you to your hotel in Toledo. Continue to Toledo (the old Islamic Moorish city), which is only an hour's drive south of Madrid. Here is where it all started: the Vandals' fall and the rise of Islamic civilization. Lunch Halal is in a nearby restaurant. Later, we will depart to visit and explore Toledo's historical, Islamic, and cultural sights. Visit the Historical Mosque built by Mussa Ibnu Ali in 999 AD, later to become the Church of Christo de la Luz, the ramparts entering the city from its oldest gate Bab al Saqra to the ancient Moorish city. There is another mosque located near the souk called Mosque of the Tornerias. This Mosque has unique arches similar to the Grand Mosque of Cordoba, two courts, and a wonderful Mihrab. The best panoramic view over the city is from the Alcazar, a famous Palace of Muluk Tawaif Muslim Kings of Spain. We will end our tour in Zocodover Square, which used to be the livestock market from the 10th century. Dinner is at a Halal restaurant.

Today we will travel to Granada crossing a beautiful part of Castilla la Mancha to the most rewarding province of Andalusia, south of Spain. Granada is a jewel nestled in the foothills of Mount Shulayr at the Sierra Nevada overlooking the lush plateau of la Vega. The emblem of Granada is the Moorish Alhambra Palace and its exotic gardens of Generalife. You will also visit the old Muslim quarter of Albaicin, the most elite neighborhood of Moorish times, dignitary palaces, Moorish baths and fountains, Medersas schools, and notable dwellings still witnessing a glorious time in Islamic Spain. A Glorious Islamic City is still standing proudly to hold the emblem of la Ghalib illa Allah. No Glorious but Allah. Granada is unique in its history as the last outpost of Muslim Spain. Also, the home of many Christian monuments, including the tombs of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, idolized as the Catholic Monarchs of Spain and the pioneers of the Hispanic newfound world of Latin America. Initially, two historic achievements, the End of Moorish sovereignty in Spain and the discovery of a new world, coincided in 1492. Dinner will be at a halal restaurant.

Your Muslim guide will take you on a full day sightseeing tour of notable places in Granada. This will include the Alhambra Moorish Palace and its famous Generalife Gardens, Albaicine Kasbah, the Panoramic Mirador of Saint Nicolas, the Great Mosque of Granada.
