Actually it is a blog and the interesting is it is listing the top muslim holiday destination. The post I am talking about is Muslim countries to visit for holiday . Well it's a good change of location wise from the usual. Anyway some of the location actually had me interested, like the Spain. An extract from the article post:- Granada, Spain Many other eminent Spanish cities exude class, but only Granada has so dramatic a mountain setting, topped by the magnificence of the Alhambra, Iberia’s greatest monument to Moorish creativity.
