Key takeaways

• Plan around anchors: one main area per morning + a midday “prayer + meal” block
• Stay near stations: reduces walking, transfers, and last‑minute stress
• Use a backup plan: snacks + a saved list of reliable restaurants
• Keep it realistic: 2–3 major stops/day is usually enough

Plan this in 30 minutes

1. Pick your base area (near a major station).
2. Save 3–5 reliable restaurants near your base and 1–2 near your main attractions.
3. Save the nearest mosque/prayer space and a backup quiet spot (hotel room works).
4. Build each day with: morning attraction → midday block → flexible afternoon → return.
5. Pack a small “just in case” kit (snacks + water + prayer essentials).

Getting around efficiently

• Use IC cards for city trains and buses
• For multi-city travel, compare point-to-point tickets vs passes
• Avoid long station transfers during peak hours when traveling with family

Prayer-aware transport planning

• Plan prayer stops near big stations or mosques
• Keep buffer time for wudu + finding a quiet spot
• For long rides, bring a small snack and water

Common mistakes to avoid

• Over-packing a single day with far-apart locations
• Booking accommodation too far from stations
• Not confirming halal options before a day trip
