Muslim Friendly Hotels Gibraltar
The Muslim friendly hotel means a hotel that has Islamic characteristics that can provide basic facilities that are more friendly to Muslim customers such as a Qibla direction indicator, the availability of prayer tools, the presence of halal food / list of nearby restaurants that provide halal food.
Like other tourists, Muslim travelers coming from Islamic countries have particular requirements when they choose the destination for their vacation. Among these requirements, Muslims are concerned about the availability of halal compliant foods (no pork or alcohol in food) and a clean place to pray.
Many international hotels in Gibraltar do serve halal food that is slaughtered in accordance with the teachings of Islamic Sharia and is free of any substances forbidden by Islam such as pork and alcohol.
Other Islamic countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Oman and Brunei continue to be popular with Muslim tourists. Among non-OIC countries, Singapore, Thailand, the UK, Japan and Taiwan remain the top five respectively, but show improved scores on the index.

Best Day Tours in Gibraltar for Muslim Travelers
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland, on Spain’s south coast. It’s dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426m-high limestone ridge. First settled by the Moors in the Middle Ages and later ruled by Spain, the outpost was ceded to the British in 1713. Layers of fortifications include the remains of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded in WWII

There are 2 supermarkets very close to the hotel for anything you’ve forgotten.

Our room was super cool, handy in the very hot conditions. The windows open and the aircon is easy to work.
We were on the 5th floor overlooking the airport runway and the cemetery. The soundproofing is so good you don’t hear the planes unless you open the window. It is terrific having such a good view of them taking off and landing.
The cemetery is beautiful, it is lovely to see how much people are loved, honoured and remembered. We had a walk there one day to see the Commonwealth War Graves ( there is also a Commonwealth War Grave commemoration close to the hotel).
The rooms are well equipped with comfortable cool beds. Good lighting.
We had enough storage space for a week.
The TV had very many channels, and all the UK ones.
The bathroom was spacious and the power shower very welcome after a day out.
The rooms were cleaned every day.
We enjoyed the buffet breakfast, the food was fresh and plentiful and there were always enough tables even when you went down a little later.
There was a good choice of hot and cold, sweet and savoury, and plenty of sauces and condiments.
The bar and lounge area is comfortable, we had a good bottle of white wine one night when we got back to the hotel (we couldn’t find any shops or supermarkets selling chilled white wine!) and the price was reasonable for the quality.
There is even an outdoor terrace which is pleasant in the evenings.
I’ve already started checking the prices for a return visit, I had such a lovely time.

Nice central location, staff were really good and always helpful. We had a top floor balcony room that was helpful given the busy poolside.

We took advantage of room service many times and would certainly stay again if in town.
I think top marks to the staff in difficult times.

Hotel is beautiful, my room was fabulous. I didn’t use the main sunbathing area as I had a large enough balcony for two sunbeds – this came at a cost but was absolutely worth it.
