Itinerary

Morning/Afternoon: Your adventure begins with a direct flight from Saudi Arabia—departing from either Riyadh (King Khalid International Airport) or Jeddah (King Abdulaziz International Airport)—to London's Heathrow or Gatwick Airport. Flight duration is approximately 6-7 hours, depending on your departure city. Upon arrival, a Pinkstone Travel representative will meet you at the airport and escort you to your centrally located hotel via a private transfer. Check into a 4-star property, such as the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge or a comparable option, and take some time to settle in and refresh after your journey.

Evening: Ease into your London experience with a Thames River Cruise, a serene and scenic way to see the city’s landmarks. As you glide along the river, you’ll pass iconic sights like the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, and Big Ben (currently under restoration but still a striking presence). The evening light casts a magical glow over the city, making this a perfect introduction. Afterward, enjoy a delicious dinner at a halal-certified restaurant near the riverbank, featuring a menu that blends British classics with Middle Eastern flavors. This meal is included in your package, ensuring a warm welcome to London.

Overnight: Rest comfortably at your hotel, where amenities like prayer mats and Qibla directions can be requested to meet your spiritual needs.

Morning:

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel, included in the package, offering a variety of options to suit different tastes. Meet your English-speaking guide in the lobby and embark on a full day of exploration. Your first stop is Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarch. If your visit falls between April and July, you may witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony—a colorful display of military tradition (daily in summer, every other day otherwise, weather permitting). Next, visit Westminster Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and architectural marvel. This historic church has hosted royal coronations, weddings, and burials, and its intricate Gothic design is a sight to behold.

Afternoon:

Continue to the Tower of London, a fortress steeped in history as a royal palace, prison, and treasury. Explore its ancient walls and view the dazzling Crown Jewels, a collection of ceremonial treasures that captivate visitors. Afterward, take a short stroll to Tower Bridge, an engineering masterpiece and one of London’s most photographed landmarks. Pose for pictures on the bridge or from the riverbank. For lunch, savor a halal meal at a nearby restaurant—perhaps The Halal Guys or Nando’s—conveniently included in your package.

Evening:

Head to the British Museum, a treasure trove of human history with over 8 million artifacts. Highlights include the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, and Islamic art collections that may resonate with Saudi travelers. The museum offers a quiet room for prayer, making it a practical stop. After your visit, enjoy free time in Covent Garden, a bustling area known for its street performers, boutique shops, and lively ambiance. Dinner is at your leisure, with plenty of halal options like Dishoom (Indian cuisine) or Gourmet Burger Kitchen nearby (not included).

Overnight:

Return to your hotel for a well-deserved rest after an action-packed day.

Morning:

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before heading out for a morning of exploration. Depending on your interests and the day of the week, visit Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill (open Saturdays) for antiques and crafts or Borough Market near London Bridge (open daily) for artisanal goods and a vibrant atmosphere. Alternatively, take a peaceful walk through Hyde Park, a sprawling green space perfect for reflection or a morning stretch. The park’s Serpentine Lake and tree-lined paths offer a tranquil escape from the city’s hustle.

Afternoon:

Spend your final hours in London with free time for shopping or sightseeing. Head to Oxford Street for high-street brands like Zara and H&M, or visit Harrods in Knightsbridge for a luxury shopping experience. If you prefer a bird’s-eye view, book a ride on the London Eye (optional, not included) for panoramic vistas of the city. Lunch is at your own expense, with halal cafés and eateries widely available.

Evening:

Depending on your flight schedule, you might squeeze in a quick visit to Trafalgar Square or Piccadilly Circus, both emblematic of London’s energy. Your Pinkstone Travel representative will then arrange your transfer back to Heathrow or Gatwick Airport for your return flight to Saudi Arabia, ensuring a smooth departure.
