Mixed experience: growing halal food, limited prayer infrastructure, safe but Muslim visibility rare outside Muslim areas.
Money-saving tips
Stay in Cebu Business Park or near SM City Cebu (tourist-friendly, halal restaurants nearby)
Use Grab app for reliable taxi service; negotiate upfront with traditional taxis to avoid overcharging
Book halal-certified restaurants in advance (e.g., Arabian Nights in SM City Cebu, halal stalls in Ayala food court)
