Summer 2026 · Norway
Summer journeys designed for the Gulf traveller — deep fjords, cool air, halal food, and a guide who speaks your language.
Who we are
We are a small agency devoted to a single destination: Norway in summer. We chose depth over breadth, because a good journey is built on knowing a place well — and knowing the guest. We know where to find trustworthy halal food in a remote fjord village, how much afternoon rest a family actually needs, and when maghrib falls in a month where daylight runs past midnight.
Our packages
Every package is fully customisable, and can be booked as a private departure for your family alone.
7 days · Classic
Our most-requested classic: the Bergen mountain railway, a cruise through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, the Seven Sisters waterfall at Geiranger, and an evening under the midnight sun in Ålesund.
8 days · Adventure · Classic
North of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not set all summer. Wooden fishing villages, turquoise beaches, and sharp peaks mirrored in water as still as glass.
5 days · City break · Family
A short trip made for limited holidays or a first visit to Norway: two cities, one of the world’s finest mountain railways, and very little packing.
Why Jamaal Al Shamal
Certified halal restaurants in the cities, and pre-prepared halal meals from halal kitchens in remote areas. You will never have to ask at the door.
Stops are scheduled around prayer times, your guide carries the timetable and points out the qibla, and prayer mats are kept on board.
Every tour can be booked as a closed group for your family or friends only, with a dedicated vehicle, a private guide and full flexibility.
An Arabic-speaking guide with you throughout, and round-the-clock Arabic support from our office — no language barrier, no misunderstandings.
We prepare the booking letter, itinerary and hotel confirmations your Schengen file needs, and walk you through each step.
Sensible distances between hotels, time to rest in the afternoon, and a programme that does not cram ten stops into one day.
Guest testimonials
What put me most at ease was that I never once had to ask whether the food was halal. Our guide reminded us of prayer times before we asked, and the schedule was arranged so we were never late. The children still talk about the midnight sun.
We booked the private programme because we do not enjoy shared groups. Everything was ours alone: the vehicle, the guide, even the yacht on the fjord. The standard of organisation was very close to what we had hoped for, and being able to deal with everything in Arabic saved us a great deal.
Nine of us travelled, including my elderly mother and three children. I worried the programme would be tiring, but the distances were short and there was enough time to rest. On the day with a long walk they arranged an alternative for my mother, and she never felt left out.
