In Todays indonesia vlog I left the beautiful and serene region of Ubud and began a new chapter of my Bali journey — moving to Kuta, one of the more Muslim-populated areas of Bali. Unlike Ubud, which is steeped in Balinese Hindu culture, Kuta offers a fascinating look into Islamic life in Bali, and I wanted to experience firsthand what Muslim life in Bali is really like.
I began the day by heading out to find a suitcase in Bali, after realizing I had packed way too many clothes. I visited a local Indonesian suitcase shop, where I found a bright orange suitcase — a color perfect for travel. After a light-hearted negotiation with the kind seller, I purchased it for 300,000 IDR — a great price in local terms. These are the types of authentic, local Indonesian experiences I truly value while traveling.
After packing up, we began our road trip from Ubud to Kuta. During the drive, I witnessed something I’d never seen before — a Balinese cremation ceremony. My driver explained that this type of traditional Hindu funeral is rare and only held for the wealthy. It was an unexpected and educational moment, highlighting the religious diversity in Bali.
We stopped at a local petrol station, where I bought my driver a drink as a gesture of appreciation. He was so happy, he even said hello to the camera. This kind of connection is what makes Muslim-friendly travel so rewarding. When we arrived in Kuta, I gave him a tip, and his heartfelt gratitude was incredibly touching.
Once settled in our new guesthouse in Kuta, we were offered complimentary iced tea and checked out our affordable yet beautiful accommodation — complete with a swimming pool. Budget-friendly stays in Bali can still offer luxury, and this was proof.
Later, my wife and I took a walk to explore the local mosque in Kuta. As Muslim travelers, being close to a mosque always makes us feel spiritually grounded. Along the way, we noticed an abundance of halal food stalls in Bali, something we hadn’t seen as much in Ubud. It made us feel right at home.
When we arrived at the Kuta mosque, we were welcomed by friendly local Muslims. We made wudu, prayed inside the mosque, and had meaningful interactions with the community. It was a truly spiritual experience and a highlight of the day.
After prayer, we stumbled upon a halal street food vendor in Bali who surprisingly had a 5-star rating on Google but very few customers — a true hidden gem of Bali. I had a warm conversation with her and ordered an incredibly delicious local meal. She only charged 35,000 IDR, but I surprised her by giving 200,000. Her emotional reaction was priceless, and moments like these are why I love documenting my travels.
We finished the day relaxing at the guesthouse, reflecting on what a special and soulful day it had been. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a Muslim in Bali, or you're looking for Islamic travel content that shows real people, authentic stories, and everyday Muslim life in non-majority-Muslim countries — this is the vlog for you.
Come with me as I continue to explore the Muslim world, one destination at a time — discovering culture, community, and of course, the best halal food in Indonesia.
