Travel is deeply rooted in the essence of Islam – from the origins of the faith to its spiritual core.
Islam expert Gabriele Berrer-Wallbrecht brings us closer to the multi-layered meaning of Muslim travel: from the journeys of the Prophet Mohammed himself, to travel as “part of the punishment” and a great challenge in human existence, to the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, which can be the spiritual highlight of Muslim life.

Dr. Gabriele Berrer-Wallbrecht studied Islamic Studies, Political Science and Ethnology in Berlin, Beirut and Saarbrücken. She is a profound connoisseur of Islam and the Oriental world, speaks Arabic and works today as a freelance scholar with lecturing activities.
