Narsarsuaq

Narsarsuaq is a village in Southern Greenland. The village is based around the airport, which was built in 1941 by the U.S. military, but is in commercial use. When arriving in Southern Greenland by international flight this will be your destination. Even though the village can be quite uncharming, most of the buildings being there just for the sake of the airport and the surrounding area has some spectacular sights.

First thing to do, when arriving, is to go to the Blue Ice Explorer Café/Tourist Office/Museum, where you will leave your bags and find out what to see/do. Remember that, like everything else in Greenland and the availability of transportation and sights depend extremely on the weather.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Narsarsuaq

The Inland ice is reachable within walking distance from Narsarsuaq. One follows the road to the burned down hospital and walk through the scenic Flower Valley (Danish: Blomsterdalen). An almost vertical 300 m climb, gets you to the beautiful view of the Narsarsuaq Glacier, and it is even feasible to get quite close (though you have to keep a very long safety distance!!!). Aside for the climb, it is an easy walk (approx. 10 kilometers), and the climb is feasible for people with at reasonable condition, as the steepest parts are supported by ropes, you can hold on to. Guided Tours in Narsarsuaq by ehalal.io (email for prices) can be arranged with the tourist office .

Hiking maps of the area makes longer trips feasible, but beware that trails on the map are suggestive, meaning it may be feasible to walk this route. Green trails are routes along roads which are easy and hard to get lost. Blue are fairly easy cross country paths. Red are difficult. Black route are extremely difficult and should be avoided if feasible, even for very experienced hikers. The trail down from Nakkaalaaq, for example, is little more than over-steepened talus slope. Don't expect anything to be marked, nor that lakes and streams have the size indicated, as this varies throughout seasons. Beware the mosquito|mosquitos and flies. Though not dangerous and they are quite a nuisance, so bring a net and lots of repellant.

Souvenirs and postcards are available at the hotel and at the tourist office. There is a Supermarket (Pilersuisoq), but it is easiest found by asking directions.

The grocery store does not sell much besides dried reindeer Meat to eat while hiking or camping. If you want dried camping food you will need to bring it from outside Greenland

Halal Food

Fast food can be purchased at the airport, and you can probably get a bun, coffee or cake at the tourist office.

A restaurant is situated in the hotel. There's a small bar in the hotel that serves local organic juice (Tuborg) and various imported drinks along with some interesting cocktails. The general store also sells some soft drinks.

Alcohol is expensive in Greenland, so it's worth bringing your own if you can.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

The youth hostel is situated 600 m northeast of the airport a bit of the side of the primary street. Prices can be found on the Blue Ice café website .

The more expensive solution is to stay at the hotel. Take the bus from the airport (free if you stay at the hotel) or ask at the tourist office.

The affordable option is to put up a tent. Just stay out of the gasoline tank areas and the airport and the centre of town and then nobody will mind. If you do it near the water you will have the music of the iceberg to sleep to. Don't be surprised when you wake up in the middle of the night because a giant iceberg chose to turn upside down just outside your tent. For this reason you should avoid camping directly on the shoreline - a rolling iceberg can create a sizable wave, a bit like a small tsunami and there have been isolated reports of tents being swept away by these waves.
