Muslimah Traveller

Many sites I visited on travelling products or stories are not for Muslimah travellers. For example, packing light is easier for non-Muslim women who wear bikini, even a one-piece, tights, shorts, tube and other skimpy outfit.  They can fit more in their luggage. A Muslimah traveller would require to bring bigger and longer clothings. Long pants (must not be skin tight), long sleeve blouses or t shirt, Muslimah swimwear / burqini, and telekung if the outfit is not solat compliant.

The only area I find we can break-even is when it comes to hair. Some women must carry tons of hair products even while travelling. A Muslim women who wears a head cover need not worry about all those. The right shampoo and conditioner, a hair dryer or air dry if in tropics area, and change of tudung. Of course we can't compete with the ladies who didn't bother about hair products and make up. They carry less items. Make up is a personal choice. Some choose none, some simple and some might need the whole beauty regime. I choose simple.
