  1. 1AlanyaAlanyaStart here if you want no alcohol on site at all. Bera Alanya opened in 2007, bills itself as Türkiye's first five-star non-alcoholic family hotel, and runs all-inclusive, with women-only indoor and outdoor pools. Adenya, in Avsallar, serves no alcohol, has a secluded women-only beach area plus a…0
  2. 2AntalyaAntalyaLara, Belek and Side on the Antalya coast The classic Turkish all-inclusive: huge resorts with buffets, pools and slide towers. Most serve alcohol, but some big Side family resorts list all their food as halal, and local restaurants generally serve halal meat. The big treat for a 10-year-old is…0
  3. 3HurghadaHurghadaA long strip of big family resorts, and the place for slides. Pickalbatros's Neverland complex claims 45 pools and 81 water slides, the largest aqua park in Egypt and the region.

  4. 4Sharm El SheikhSharm El SheikhSharm sits at the southern tip of Sinai, outside the parts the FCDO advises against, and pairs resort pools with Red Sea reefs.

At Abu Dabbab bay, green turtles graze in seagrass about two to four meters deep, in a calm bay that beginners and closely supervised children can snorkel when conditions are good. The sea stays around 22°C even in…0
  6. 6DubaiDubaiThe stretch on a short-haul list: Heathrow to Dubai takes around seven to seven and a half hours, so it only suits a family happy to sit through a long-haul-length flight. The payoff is halal food almost everywhere: UAE rules require imported meat and poultry to be halal certified, and pork is sold…0
  7. 7SousseSousseSousse and the Hammamet coast Tunisia is the shortest flight here, about three hours to Enfidha, and halal restaurants are easy to find. Hotels are more of a mix: most serve alcohol, women-only pools are rare, and big slide parks are fewer than in Turkey or Egypt. Thalassa Sousse Resort & Aquapark…0
  8. 8AgadirAgadirMorocco's Atlantic beach resort is about four hours away, and almost all Moroccan restaurant food is halal, the exceptions being a few tourist places in the resorts.

  9. 9SarajevoSarajevoA city break rather than a pool vacation, and the easy European choice for halal food: in Sarajevo, halal is the default in most restaurants and food shops, and pork is rare in traditional Bosnian cooking in Muslim areas. Some restaurants serve alcohol, even in the old town, so ask if that…0
