AbdulMaalik Tailor is Britain’s first professionally qualified Muslim tour guide and founder of Halal Tourism Britain. He is renowned for his knowledge of Britain’s rich Muslim heritage and history. Offering over 40 different types of tours including walking, sightseeing bus tours, day trips, and even Halal food cruises along the River Thames, AbdulMaalik has become a leading authority in the field of Muslim culture in Britain for tourists.

He has shared his extensive knowledge in many different settings, ranging from mosques to student groups, conferences, and media organisations. AbdulMaalik is particularly proud of two remarkable personal achievements – discovering London’s first Mosque (established 1895), as well as uncovering London’s first public Eid prayer that was held in 1894. As a result of his research, he was able to successfully campaign for a blue plaque at the site.

AbdulMaalik shares his extensive knowledge through bespoke tours and attractions, while tailoring to his clients’ halal travel needs e.g. prayer places. He offers unique insight into Britain’s vibrant Muslim history, from the 700s up until the present day, helping visitors gain a fuller appreciation for the cultural contributions made by British Muslims throughout time. This empowers the Muslim community to strengthen their identity in recognising their scientific contribution after the loss of Muslim Spain. One example is taking tourists to see the earliest Muslim connection to Britain, of an English King who minted a gold coin with the Arabic Shahadah (declaration of Islamic faith) only 141 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Another spectacular feature is the world famous Trafalgar Square – the word Trafalgar is in fact Arabic in origin, meaning, Cape of the cave but what’s the story behind it? These are just a couple of examples among many, where AbdulMaalik has used his platform to highlight and celebrate the rich culture and history of British Muslims during their long tenure in Britain.

While taking thousands of tourists around the streets of London in his customary red fez hat, he has amassed an overwhelming number of 5-star reviews on Tripadvisor^TM. AbdulMaalik has made it to the top 10 Influential Muslims in UK 2022 for hospitality by Equality X and 100 Inspiring Muslims by Emerald Network. He has also received multiple awards from Tripadvisor^TM from 2108 to 2022. In addition to receiving the Innovation of Excellence Awards 2022, he has also received a personal letter of thanks from the Mayor of London for tours delivered in public.
