🧭 Guide
Follow in the footsteps of the 14th-century Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta across Serendib — the island the Arabs knew as the land of cinnamon, spices, pearls and sacred mountains. This 7-day journey traces his path from the fishing shores of Negombo and the historic mosques of Puttalam, through the royal hill capital of Kandy and the misty tea country of Hatton (with its pilgrimage to Adam's Peak), to Sri Lanka's oldest mosque and first Islamic university in Beruwala, a river safari on the Madu Ganga, and the bustling heritage and markets of Colombo. The tour blends Islamic heritage sites, colonial-era towns, tea estate culture, wildlife encounters and coastal relaxation, with Halal cuisine throughout.
