Our Story

Bringing the beauty of Sri Lanka to the Arab world

Founded in 1999 by Al Haj Mr. M.C.M. Muzaffer, Al Musafir Tours is one of the pioneering inbound tour operators dedicated to serving travellers from the Gulf. At a time when Sri Lanka was virtually unknown in the Gulf as a leisure destination, he saw an opportunity — to introduce the island's natural beauty, pleasant climate, rich Islamic heritage and warm hospitality to Arab visitors.

The relationship between Sri Lanka and the Arab world dates back over a thousand years. Arab traders were among the earliest visitors to the island, affectionately calling it Serendib, and later Seelan — names that eventually became Ceylon.

Guest Experiences

Where every guest becomes family

Everything was arranged before we arrived — halal meals, prayer times, a private van and an Arabic-speaking guide. My children still talk about the elephants.
