If I have the opportunity to do Revival Retreats again? Yes, in sha Allah, I will do it. It was affordable, it was a great group, and the guidance was great. I searched online and found other packages which were way, way high and maybe didn’t have the blessed teachers and guidance we had. This (Revival Retreats) was a total package – from the teachers to the munshids, the trips, the events - I believe I would definitely do it again, no matter where we go. I believe every destination will be the same in terms of hospitability and environment – the brothers and sisters there would make any trip beautiful. I would definitely do it again – as much as my wallet can afford.
As someone with 20 years in the luxury hospitality industry, I have high standards for travel experiences and service. Revival Retreats exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, we were provided with exceptional accommodation, grace, and comfort. Revival Retreat’s attention to detail in creating a unique agenda that offered meaningful spiritual experiences and access to hidden gems was outstanding. We explored off-the-beaten-path places that were captivating, allowing us to connect with local communities for genuine interactions and authentic cultural exchanges. The retreat provided opportunities for deep spiritual exploration, personal growth, bonding with like-minded individuals, exciting one-of-a-kind adventures, and moments of serene solitude when desired.
What Revival Retreats gave me in this one week was enough to fill my cup for centuries. I am eternally grateful to have been taken on this soulful and enriching journey. Every element of the retreat was thoughtfully presented to us, exuding the highest form of Ihsan. The people I crossed paths with and the bonds I developed remind me that companionship is the beating heart of our tradition. We were shown how special Morocco was, is, and always will be, because it is fragranced with the remembrance of Allah and His Beloved.
Words can’t describe the experience I had on this trip being in an amazing city with an amazing group of people who made me feel welcomed from the start. From visiting zāwiyah of Sheikh Ahmad Tijani mosque of Fez to the dunes of the Sahara desert as well as being accompanied by a Shaykh I recommend this to anyone wanting a short and spiritual retreat.
When the tour with Revival Retreats came across my social media feed, I knew I had to sign up. I was not disappointed. An exciting itinerary included seeing the world-famous zellige tiles being made, the historical landmarks of Fes, a trip to Chefchaouen, camel-riding in the desert, and more. In addition, the organisers Zoheb and Usman are to be commended for their efforts to ensure all participants were happy and supported. Truly a personal touch. It was a great holiday and an adventure. As someone who has trekked a lot, it was refreshing to not have to organise travel, accommodation, food, and sightseeing for once, allowing for more time to enjoy the moments. I look forward to my next fun-filled tour in the near future.
