Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour 3 Days Itinerary in Brief
- Day 1 – Cu Chi Tunnels and city tour: airport pick-up, the Cu Chi Tunnels, a halal lunch, Saigon Central Mosque, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, the People’s Committee Hall and Ben Thanh Market, then a halal dinner.
- Day 2 – Mekong Delta: Vinh Trang Pagoda, a private boat past the river islets of My Tho, coconut workshops in Ben Tre, a bee farm, a sampan ride and an orchard, with a halal lunch.
- Day 3 – Departure: free time for shopping or rest until your airport transfer.
Highlights
- Cu Chi Tunnels: hand-dug tunnels on three levels, with hidden trapdoors, shelters and kitchens used throughout the war.
- Saigon Central Mosque: completed in 1935 by the Indian Muslim community, at 66 Dong Du Street in the city centre.
- Saigon Central Post Office: a French-era hall with a vaulted roof, still a working post office.
- Colonial Saigon: Notre-Dame Cathedral, seen from the outside during its restoration, and the People’s Committee Hall.
- Ben Thanh Market: the city’s best-known market for souvenirs, coffee and dried fruit.
- Mekong Delta: a private boat past the Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise islets and a hand-rowed sampan through palm-lined creeks.
Halal Food and Muslim Travel Notes
- Halal meals: lunches on days 1 and 2 and dinner on day 1 are served at halal restaurants with certified halal food. Dinner on day 2 is free; your guide can recommend places near your hotel, and our guide to halal restaurants in Saigon lists more.
- Mosque: the city tour on day 1 visits Saigon Central Mosque at 66 Dong Du Street.
- Dress code: cover shoulders and knees at the mosque; women may wish to bring a headscarf. Light, long clothing also protects you from the sun at Cu Chi.
- Hotel: you choose the hotel standard; we suggest central hotels within easy reach of halal restaurants.
Who This Tour Suits – and Who Should Choose Another
- Good for: a short first visit to southern Vietnam, a stopover between flights, or the opening days of a longer journey north.
- Choose another tour if you want the Independence Palace, the War Remnants Museum and the Cao Dai Temple – take the Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour 4 Days – or if you would like a dedicated shopping day, in which case the Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour 5 Days adds Cholon and the Cham Muslim neighbourhood.
- Not included: the Independence Palace, the War Remnants Museum and the Cai Rang floating market; any of them can be added with an extra day.
Is 3 Days Enough in Ho Chi Minh City?
Three days is enough for the essentials: the city centre, the Cu Chi Tunnels and one day in the Mekong Delta. Day 1 is full, so a morning arrival matters. With a fourth day you can add the Independence Palace, the War Remnants Museum or the Cao Dai Temple at a gentler pace.
Customize Your Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour 3 Days
- Upgrade to a 4-star or 5-star hotel in the city centre, or add a halal dinner on day 2.
- Add a day for the Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum, or for the Cao Dai Temple.
- Turn the Mekong day into an overnight trip to Can Tho and Cai Rang Floating Market, as in the Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 2 Days – 1 Night.
- Swap days 1 and 2, or move the tunnels to day 2, if your flight arrives in the afternoon.

Local Expert Notes
By Jimmy, Saigon Muslim Tours
- Choose a flight that lands by about 8:00–9:00 am on day 1; Cu Chi is around 1.5–2 hours by road, and leaving the airport early avoids the worst of the city traffic.
- Cu Chi is hot and humid all year. Wear light trousers or a long skirt you do not mind getting dusty, and bring water; the tunnels are narrow and low, so skip the crawl if you are claustrophobic.
- Notre-Dame Cathedral has been under restoration for years and work is expected to run to 2027 or later, so we see it from the outside. The Central Post Office next door opens 7:30 am–6:00 pm Monday to Saturday.
- In the rainy season (May–November) showers usually come in the afternoon, so on the Mekong day we start at about 8:00 am to enjoy the boat trip in the dry morning.

5.0"We recently took the Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour: 3 Days – 2 Nights and it was an outstanding experience! This tour is ideal for Muslim travelers who have limited time but want to explore the best of Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi Tunnels, and the Mekong Delta.
From the moment we arrived in Saigon, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our first day was packed with visits to the city's most iconic sights. We explored historic landmarks and vibrant markets, all while enjoying the rich culture of Ho Chi Minh City.
The visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels on the second day was incredibly educational. Walking through the historic tunnels and learning about their significance during the Vietnam War was a unique and moving experience.
The Mekong Delta tour was another highlight. We cruised along the river, witnessing the beautiful landscapes and the daily lives of local villagers. It was a peaceful and scenic escape from the bustling city.
Throughout the tour, we were served delicious Halal meals at local Halal restaurants. The food was not only Halal but also incredibly tasty and diverse, allowing us to enjoy the local cuisine without any concerns.
Saigon Muslim Tours did a fantastic job organizing this trip. Despite the short duration, the itinerary was well-planned, and we never felt rushed. The attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a Muslim-friendly experience were commendable.
I highly recommend the Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour: 3 Days – 2 Nights to any Muslim traveler. It's the perfect way to experience the highlights of Southern Vietnam in a short amount of time, with excellent service and Halal-friendly arrangements."
Thanks Saigon Muslim Tours – Asia Travel Expert very much for the great tour package, we will definitely use your tour services again in the future!
