Where do strict muslim families go on holiday?

Question

Genuine question.  

I was just looking at photos of my last big holiday in Aruba and it got me wondering where devout muslims go on holiday as you don't see many niqab-wearing ladies on package holidays to the sun.

I know the Hajj is a sacred obligation but I do occasionally watch Muslim TV channels and from what I can gather, the Hajj can be very expensive.

Do they even go on holiday?  I also know that financial credit agreements (usary), celebrating birthdays etc are frowned on.

They go back to their home country for their holidays

Yes they do go on holiday, mostly to other Muslim countries because they can easily find a place to conduct their daily prayers.

Not every holiday trip has to be to the beach of course. Many people do go on sight seeing trips just to see the world... or at least the places we can afford to, heh.

I don't really like the beach either, if i've seen one I've seen it all.

Interesting question, but lol we are also like any other human, we are just to cover our bodies .. not over take our enjoyments ,.. i can go anywhere, even to a bar to explore how screwed people actually are ..

This summer i am going to New York so lets see :)

I'm thinking Mecca but more than likely they'd visit places where they will not run into any issues. Usually they visit other Muslim countries.

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure the wives go wherever the husband want to go.
Don't quote me on that, because it is a skewed opinion. I can't help but think, that the wives have more input than some realize.
