A Londoner from birth, he specialises in Muslim heritage in Britain. He is the founder of Muslim History Tours/ Halal Tourism Britain, specialising in bringing tourist from around the world to the UK. He organises a range of inspiring Muslim history tours by guided walks, day and night time sightseeing buses distinctively wearing his Fez hat and offers Halal food cruises on the River Thames.
He is also involved in research and delivers talks relating to local and national Muslim heritage of Britain.
