Welcome to Muslim-friendly Korea Korea has become significantly more accessible for Muslim travelers, with an increasing number of Halal-certified and pork-free restaurants.

Itaewon (이태원): The Heart of the Community Visit the **Seoul Central Masjid (서울 중앙 성원)**, the first mosque in Korea. The 'Islamic Street' surrounding the mosque is lined with Halal-certified restaurants serving everything from Korean BBQ to Middle Eastern cuisine. Try **EID** or **Makan Halal (마칸 할랄)** for authentic Halal Korean food.

Prayer Rooms in Seoul Major tourist spots like **The Hyundai Seoul (더현대 서울)**, **Lotte World (롯데월드)**, and **Incheon Airport (인천국제공항)** now provide dedicated prayer rooms. Download the 'Halal Korea' app to find the nearest prayer space and certified restaurants.

Seafood & Vegetarian Options When exploring outside Itaewon (이태원), look for **Grilled Fish (생선구이)** restaurants or try **Bibimbap (비빔밥)** (ask for no meat). These are widely available and naturally Muslim-friendly.
