This tour not only takes you to Cape Town’s scenic, historical and heritage sites, but also some of the oldest mosques in South Africa. It includes a selection of kramats (tombs/shrines) – burial places of the holy men who brought Islam to the Cape - which form the unique "Circle of Islam"*, the fulfilment of a 250-year-old prophecy. The iconic and colourful Bo-Kaap is where Cape Town’s Muslim community began. Here you can explore this community’s rich 300-year history. Mingle with local residents, whose distinctive attire, religious practice, and cuisine make this tour memorable. Partake in their delicious meals secure in the knowledge that all meals are strictly Halal. Explore the world-famous natural wonders from Table Mountain to Cape Point where two oceans meet. Enjoy an abundance of wildlife from seals to birds, reptiles and monkeys. Discover shipwrecks, diamonds and museums. Salaah is prioritised daily and is optional.
* Tombs that are a part of the ‘Circle of Islam’ and that are included in this tour, are marked with an asterisk.
