Wild Rihla

Rihla / Rih-Lah (رحلة), Arabic for Journey.

Curated group trips for the curious and the adventurous.

If you are a curious soul who travels to be changed, you are in the right place. Whether you are a mama craving a soul-restoring retreat, a family ready to learn through the world, or a friend pulling together your people for the trip of a lifetime.

Wild Rihla was built for you.

These are not your average vacations. These are adventures that will push you a little outside your comfort zone. Cultures that change how you see the world. Communities that feel like home before the trip even begins.

A Wild Rihla is more than a trip. It is a return to yourself.

Every journey I curate is designed to awaken your sense of adventure, deepen your trust in yourself, and remind you what it feels like to be fully alive. To be a curious child again. To be the woman, the parent, the partner, the friend you came here to be.

That is the Rihla.

The Bigger Vision

The Dominican Republic Is Just the Beginning...

For too long, worldschooling has existed in a space that wasn't built with Muslim families in mind. There is so much beauty in this lifestyle, the freedom, the hands on learning, the deep connection with your kids, but so many families in our community haven't had access to it because no one was creating it with them at the center.

That is what I am here to change. Whether it is group trips, curated travel, or future programs in new countries, every single thing I build will be designed with our families in mind, as well as for all curious families ready to grow alongside us. This is so much bigger than one trip. It is a movement.

Consider this your invitation.

What Every Wild Rihla Trip Includes

Intentionally small groups, never more than 12 to 15 travelers
Outdoor, cultural experiences led by certified, expert local guides
Real cultural immersion with local food, local stories, and local rhythm
A community of curious, adventurous, kind humans you will genuinely want to stay in touch with long after the trip ends
