Uzbekistan Next (BOOKING FAST!)
September 7 – 13, 2025
FOR TRAVELERS OF ALL AGES
Uzbekistan is one of 2025’s must-see destinations.
At Queen City Diwan, we were ahead of the curve, partnering with Travel Safina to bring you a magical journey through a country you’ll never forget.
From vibrant Tashkent, the country’s modern capital, to pristine Charwak with its lakes and beautiful mountains, our tour heads on to explore Bukhara and Samarkand, the heart and soul of the Silk Road. We promise you faith and heritage of course, alongside the great outdoors, arts and culture, grand food, great company and profound conversations and classes.
Like all our trips, Uzbekistan Next is led by author and historian Haroon Moghul. From the moment we land till the close of the trip, Haroon will help us make sense of Central Asia’s place in the history of the Muslim world, past, present and future. We’ll talk about golden ages and we’ll explore what helps societies, and peoples, survive challenges and recover.
Building on years of teaching diverse audiences, Uzbekistan Next is open to travelers of all ages and backgrounds.
Our land package is priced at $2,100.00 per person (double-occupancy) with separate pricing for solo occupancy and reduced pricing for kids. This trip is nearly sold out, so we encourage you to register your booking and make your initial deposit before we’re at capacity. Of course, if you’ve got questions, let us know–we’re here to make your journey as convenient and comfortable as possible.
Umrah For All
October 11 – 19, 2025
FOR TRAVELERS OF ALL AGES
Join author, historian and professor Haroon Moghul on an exceptional ‘Umrah journey, including three nights in Madinah and four nights in Makkah. Our ‘umrah journey connects the foundations of our faith, the most captivating stories from our history, and an inspiring take on our communities today–a unique journey to the heart of our faith, the source of our strengths, and the potential we possess to change ourselves and build a better future.
And it’s an ‘umrah journey that reflects the core values behind Queen City Diwan: We believe in big tents. In open and welcoming approaches. Whether you’re from a big Muslim family, new to the faith, keen for a fresh perspective, or struggling with religion, we welcome you. Led by our own Haroon Moghul, we’ll include ample time for ‘umrah, ‘ibadah and reflection, plus tours, excursions, and conversation, designed for you to take friends and make friends.
It’s ‘Umrah for all because Islam is for all, no matter who we are, where we are, or how we are. Our religion is a mercy not just for us, but for all the worlds. Developed in partnership with Hajar Travels and Majmua, this Queen City Diwan experience is designed to be an intimate experience: Seats are intentionally limited.

Andalus Plus: Morocco, Spain and Portugal
November 21 – 29, 2025
FOR TRAVELERS OF ALL AGES
Muslim Spain was always more than Spain. So our tours should be, too. Queen City Diwan joins with Travel Safina to provide a fresh take on greater Andalus, exploring the rich legacy and incredible tapestry of what was and what is. This intimate experience will touch down in Casablanca and take in the sights and sounds of Morocco–including Rabat, Fes and Tangier. Then we head to Spain, for Sevilla (and an optional excursion to Cordoba) before stopping to breathe in the oceanside majesty of Faro, Portugal, and closing in vibrant Lisbon.
Three countries. Two continents. Magnificent mountains. Stunning beaches. We’ll cross the sea, witnessing the scope and size of Andalus. A treasure-house of memories, including delicious food, stunning hotels, incredible classes, expert guides, live music, heart-stopping vistas, optional excursions, and the chance to experience new Muslim communities as they find their vision for the future. We’ll learn about architecture and design, poetry and literature, fashion and calligraphy, with wonderful company all the way.
Open to travelers of all ages and backgrounds, this trip is led by our own Haroon Moghul, who’ll be with us from the day we arrive and through our day of departure. This unique journey is currently offered at an early bird rate of $2,900 for two persons sharing; that price will go up soon. To reserve your seats, take advantage of our pricing and begin your booking, please visit our guest registration page.
Of course, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
Queen City University
January 3 – 9, 2026
FOR STUDENTS AGES 18-22
We’re excited to introduce our newest program, exclusively for college students aged 18-22 who want to unlock their potential, grow their perspective, and do more than see the world: They want to change the world.
In the mountains of southern Spain, a select group of students will experience a unique kind of leadership. We’ll explore remarkable history, learn with brilliant scholars and creators, and build a community with like-minded leaders from across the United States–and beyond.
Designed and led by Haroon Moghul, our retreat will also feature expert mentors accompanying the group throughout our days in Spain. Admitted students will see the past, learn about Spain today, and benefit from vital professional, personal and spiritual development sessions.
Over our time together, we’ll pursue questions like
- What explains the rise and fall of the old Muslim world?
- What unique lessons can we take from Muslim Spain into our lives?
- Why have Muslim communities today struggled to translate their numbers into meaningful impact?
- How can young Muslims balance faith and career, beliefs and belonging?
- How does Islam help us build strength, resilience and perspective?
- How can American and Western Muslims do more to enrich and empower our societies?
- What professional skills and insights can help young Muslims realize their career potential?
- How should young men and women think about the biggest decisions in their lives and make better choices that honor their potential and purpose?
We’ll be releasing more information, including an application and registration, shortly. Please register your interest and we’ll let you know as soon as reservations open.
Queen City University will be an ongoing series of leadership retreats, educational programs and opportunities for like-minded young leaders to get to know and grow with each other. We’re building the future, one student at a time.
