Tourism is a widespread and enduring global phenomenon, driven by a variety of motives, including religion. Travel has multiple benefits, particularly in terms of an individual's spiritual progress, even when not explicitly motivated by religious purposes. The paper examines the cultural and Islamic-religion dimensions of tourist journeys while taking into account contemporary geographical and tourism science approaches as well as Islamic perspectives. A comparative analysis established the major values of tourism travels (geographic and cultural awareness, religious belief, socialization, and material advantage), with a focus on Muslims' spiritual upliftment. The paper provides strategies for planning travel while taking into account the rights of Muslim women and their ability to engage in tourism while honoring the perspectives of the Islamic community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Demonstrative examples highlight how specific visits may produce a profound impression and enhance social cohesion or an individual's behavior.
