Standing over 1000m above Cape Town on one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – Table Mountain is one of the best ways to start your day. As you journey up in the rotating cable car the abundant views break open before you. And at the top, once you’ve drunk your fill of the outstanding views, stroll among the unique ‘fynbos’ vegetation and try to spot the sweet rock hyrax or dassies. Back in the city, visit the Auwal Masjid Mosque before lunch and a walking tour to discover the Bo-Kaap, originally known as the Malay Quarter. Here slaves, exiles and others joined together to become a vibrant community. Combining their cultures and traditions they contributed to the development of the South African nation in their own unique way. And that uniqueness is celebrated in their food. These unique culinary delights can be experienced thanks to lunch in the home of a local resident. Old Cape Malay traditional cuisine has unique flavors and spices, made all the more delicious due to the famous Cape Malay hospitality. The afternoon is spent uncovering the mystical legends held within Bo-Kaap as you stroll around this much-photographed and colourful location and visit the first tomb of the Circle of Islam - the Kramat of Tuan Guru. In the late afternoon there is an Ashar prayer break at the Masjid Boorhaanol Islam. Dinner is also in the Bo-Kaap. Then back at your hotel, the evening is at your leisure.

You wend your way back via Chapman's Peak for a boat cruise out of quaint Hout Bay’s working harbour, past the shipwreck in Maori Bay, to Seal Island. Sixty-four-thousand cape fur seals make this 5-acre island home. From seals to over 3,000 birds of 400 different species, as well as monkeys, mammals, and reptiles at the Hout Bay World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary and Monkey Park.

Islam began here in the Cape at Macassar. It is said that it was started by a 17th century national hero of two countries, a Sufi saint, and a Reformer in the Islamic Mystical World, Shaykh Yusuf al- Maqassari. The well-born and highly educated Sheikh was exiled by the Dutch in 1694 from Indonesia, and his kramat is here in Macassar. There are claims that Sheikh Yusuf’s body was exhumed and reburied in Indonesia, as a result three places lay claim to be his burial site - Macassar (South Africa), Makassar (Indonesia), and Serang (Indonesia). Today you will be able to pay your respects at the Kramat of Sheikh Yusuf. His story is well worth hearing and what better way to hear it and other tales than by a storyteller while enjoying a late lunch in a local resident's home. After a short rest back at your hotel it’s dinner time in the Sea Point area with its beautiful beachfront promenade.

After breakfast, meet the African Jackass Penguins of Boulders Beach. An utterly unique South African experience. These comical and delightful members of South Africa’s only penguin species make their nests among the granite boulders of this beautiful white sandy beach. From there you visit the Heritage Museum in Simon’s Town, one of South Africa’s oldest towns famous for its long and varied history as well as its naval base. A visit to the Heritage Museum in Simon’s Town will give you an understanding of the rich Cape Malay cultural influence and history of the region. From 1743 there was an influx of people of Dutch Batavian descent into the area due to Simon’s Town becoming an anchorage for the Dutch East India Company. After lunch and prayers, a drive to Klein Constantia will enable you to visit one of the oldest known sites of the late Sayed Mahmud who arrived at the Cape in 1667 and started his religious work. Back in Cape Town there is time for prayers at Jamia Masjid before enjoying the V&A Waterfront at leisure before dinner.

Robben Island will be your first port of call after breakfast. This ex-prison island is famous for the many political prisoners it once housed, including Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first democratically elected president. It is also famous for imprisoning eastern political exiles, sultans, spiritualists, convicts, and slaves. As a result, Robben Island plays a profound part in the Muslim history of South Africa and the Moturu Kramat on Robben Island is a symbol of that history. Ironically, it was the apartheid prison authorities who constructed the shrine on the island in the 1960s. After prayers at Mosque Shafee, another delicious Cape Malay indulgence awaits you as lunch is a traditional meal in the Bo-Kaap area. Afterwards, you will visit Signal Hill and the kramats of Mohamed Hassen Ghaibie and Sheikh Ali. The remainder of the day’s activities take place at the V&A. From here, you will have one of the richest and most glittering experiences of your visit to the Cape - Shimansky Diamond Experience. After prayers, you can relax and feast with your final dinner in Cape Town.
