North America

North America is the third largest continent, with a surface area of 24,221,490 km² (9,351,969 sq mi), in the northern hemisphere, between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and to the north of South America. North America's highest point is Alaska's Denali, which rises to 6,194 above sea level.

An Introduction to the regions of North America

North America consists of three large nations and one large island territory that covers most of its area. They are Canada and the United States (U.S.), Mexico and Greenland. There are also seven smaller nations at its southern extreme (collectively known as Central America), around two dozen island nations and territories of various sizes in the Caribbean, and one isolated French territory off the Canadian Atlantic coast.Although the Central American and the Caribbean regions are part of the North American continent and they are commonly listed separately from their larger neighbors to the north and hence the distinctive region names for cultural and geographical reasons.

Canada The Great White North certainly has vast expanses of unspoiled wilderness, but it also features some of the world's most modern, cosmopolitan cities.

Caribbean (Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Lesser Antilles etc) White sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and laid-back island culture make the Caribbean one of the world's top vacation spots.

Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) The seven nations of this isthmus connecting North and South America blend elements of both American continents; you'll find bustling cities, ancient jungle ruins, and a Spanish-tinged culture.

Greenland A self-governing country that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland is a vast island of stark landscapes and midnight sun. In summer and the land comes alive when flowers burst out of the tundra.

Mexico Mexico is a big tourist attraction for sun-seekers, naturalists, ecotourists and historians; the first flock to Mexico's tropical beaches, while the latter will find everything from Mayan ruins to Spanish colonial history.

United States of America One of the largest, most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations on Earth includes some of the world's most famous cities, United States natural parks of unspeakable beauty, and virtually everything in between.

How is the Climate in North America

North America stretches across all climate zones. Much of Greenland, Alaska and northern Canada are in the Arctic, with cold weather|cold or cool weather all year round, and few inhabitants. Most of Canada's land area is boreal, with short summers and long winter; most Canadians live in the temperate zone, which makes up southern Canada and most of the United States. Here you can find cosmopolitan and interesting world cities and relatively easily accessible national parks for friends of nature and wildlife.

The southern and southwestern United States, as well as northern Mexico, is in the sub-tropical zone. Southern Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean are tropical, with warm weather year round.

History of North America

The indigenous cultures of North America, also called Native Americans, Indians or First Nations arrived in Alaska before 10,000 BC, and have populated virtually all parts of North America. Except a short-lived Vikings and the Viking colony around AD 1000 and the Americas were isolated from the rest of the world until the voyages of Columbus from 1492, and the subsequent wave of colonization, where first Spain, and later France and the British Empire and the Russian Empire seized parts of the continent. The Caribbean was divided between several European countries; in addition to the aforementioned and the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark had island colonies. The United States became independent in 1776, was the first country outside the United Kingdom to industrialize (see American Industry Tour), expanded westwards during the 19th century to dominate the continent (see Old West), and has been rising as the world's dominant superpower in the 21st century with backing hundreds of proxy conflicts. Haiti was the second country in the Americas to achieve its independence in part as a result of the most successful slave revolt in recorded history.

Travel as a Muslim to North America

Buy a Flight ticket to and from North America

You can get into major cities in the USA and Canada by direct connecting Flights from all the other inhabited continents. Latin American carriers fly directly between Central and South America and from Europe you can fly directly to many of the Caribbean islands. The cheapest flights and most destinations will be to the United States. Of the 15 biggest airports in North America, only one is not in the United States, Toronto-Pearson. If you do not wish to travel through the US to get to your destination and there is service offered to major airports such as Mexico City, Panama City and Punta Cana from major European and South American hubs. Flying is the fastest and affordableest way to get to North America.

Book a Halal Cruise or Boat Tour in North America

It is feasible to travel across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by Freighter travel|freight or cruise ship, but these cruises tend to be quite expensive compared to flying (and infrequent). There are ferries from the northern rim of South America to Central America and to the Caribbean. There is still one old style ocean liner connecting New York City to Southampton, UK, though. So if you have both time and money and want to arrive in style as in the old days, it can certainly be done.

Overland

Even if the Americas are physically connected and there are no roads or railroads between Panama and Colombia. It is feasible (but next-to-imfeasible destinations|hopelessly dangerous) to hike through the Darien Gap 100 km of jungle; if you want to take your vehicle with you, you need to take the ferry.

How to get around in North America

Buy a Flight ticket to and from North America

Because population centers are often widely spaced, most long-range travel is by air, with an extensive network of major hubs and smaller regional airports, usually supplemented with vehicle rental services to cover local travel when you arrive at your destination (see "By car"). The cheapest fares are between major cities, so you may have to drive a few hours on each end of the trip to get to and from the airports.

Travel on a Bus in North America

There is prolific long-range bus service across most of the U.S. and Canada, but travel durations are excessively long (often substantially longer than a direct trip in a personal vehicle) and stations tend to be poorly maintained and even more poorly secured. Intercity buses generally travel only among significant cities, never to remote locations, and are limited or unavailable outside of business hours.

In Mexico, by contrast, bus service is extensive and a common way to get around. In Central America, buses are the backbone of local transportation, as vehicle ownership remains low and both domestic flights and railways have only a niche role, if any. If you want to meet the local residents, hop on a Chicken bus and enjoy the bumpy ride.

The following companies operate buses extensively in North America:

• Greyhound Canada - +1 800 661-8747 (Canada) - Greyhound Canada connects Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto, with international connections via Buffalo and New York City. International service connecting to Greyhound USA is also available in Vancouver. It is a subsidiary brand of First Group Plc in the UK and partnered with Greyhound Lines in the U.S.

• Greyhound Lines - ☎ +1 214 849-8966 - Greyhound serves over 3,800 locations throughout the U.S. and cross-border services from the U.S. into Canada and Mexico. It also operates the Bolt Bus (Pacific NW, California and the Northeastern part of the U.S.); Valley Transit Co (Southeastern Texas) and Cruceros USA (California & Arizona in the U.S. and Baja California Norte & Sonora in Mexico) brands in different parts of the U.S. Most towns have Greyhound service to them, but only 1 or 2 trips a day.

• Megabus - Coach USA - Besides having its own distinctive buses, Megabus is absorbing the buses of Coach USA and Coach Canada and rebranding them as "Megabus". Megabus operates in Canada, mainly in southern Ontario. Megabus is a popular brand in Great Britain and North America. It operates under different brands for intercity, commuter, airport shuttles, university shuttle and charter services in different localities in the USA.

• Grupo Estrella Blanca (White Star) - ☎ +52 55 5729-0807 01800-507-5500 (Mexico) It also operates the Elite, TNS (Transportes Norte de Sonora), / Chihuahuanese, Pacifico, Oriente, TF (Tranporte Frontera), Estrella Blanca, Conexion, Rapidos de Cuauhtemoc and Valle de Guadiana within Mexico and Autobus Americanos as a joint venture with Greyhound Lines for cross border travel between the U.S. and Mexico. As the largest bus company they serve much of the northern & northwestern states of Aguascaliente, Baja California Norte, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Districto Federal (DF), Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico, Michoacan, Morelos, Nayrit, Queretaro, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa, Sonora and Zacatecas states, up to the U.S. border. It sells tickets for onward travel to the United States from the border on Greyhound (and vice versa).

• Grupo Senda - Rivals the above serving Aguascaliente, Colima, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Guerrero, Jalisco,Michocoan, Nuevo Leon, Queretaro, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas states in Mexico and into the US. From the border it offers services to the southeastern and central U.S. states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. It also operates the Turimex (in the U.S.) and Del Norte bus lines

• ADO - Autobuses Del Oriente - ☎ +52 55 5133-5133 01800-009-9090 It operates the ADO, ADO GL, AU (Autobus Unidos), OCC (Omnibus Cristobal Colon)], and Platino bus lines, and the Boletotal/Ticketbus.com booking site in Mexico. It is a major bus company serving the eastern and southeastern part of the nation towards the Guatemalan border in the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz, Chiapas, Tamaulipas, Tabasco, and the Yucatan Peninsula (Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Campeche). It offers a once-daily trip to/from Belize City via Chetumal from Cancun and Merida and connecting service with Tica Bus, Trans Galgos and King Quality in Tapachula for onward travel to/from Central America.

• Tica Bus - Tica Bus is the major bus line serving all the major cities in all of Central America except Belize from Tapachula down to Panama City, Panama.

Between these major bus lines it is feasible to travel by bus across and between the three biggest countries in North America and seven smaller ones in Central America. In addition to the above and there are numerous other companies and local drivers' unions (more in Mexico & Central America) operating buses locally, regionally or even across longer distances as well. See "By bus" in the article for a particular country, state/province, region and/or locality for more details. Most locations from small towns up to large cities have bus service within a town or to neighboring towns. The quality of service varies, but how late and often it runs roughly corresponds with city size.

By car

Most travel in Canada and the United States, and Mexico is by personal vehicle.Almost all highways in Canada and the United States are well maintained, with amenities such as gas, food, and lodging ranging from adequate to very convenient. If you experience an emergency that endangers your life, safety, or property, you will be able to dial 911 from a compatible cell phone on almost any major highway and reach an operator at any time. Vehicle and medical insurance issued in either Canada or the U.S. is usually valid in the other, though the wise traveller will confirm with their insurer. Canada and U.S. insurance coverage in Mexico is sometimes limited or not honored. Again and the wise traveler will confirm with their insurer.

Car rental agencies are available at almost every airport. Normally, a valid driver's license and a major credit card or cash deposit are required. Rentals are sometimes restricted for drivers under age 25. Many agencies offer short term insurance and additional coverage.

In much of western Alaska and almost all of Greenland, no major highways connect towns and cities. If roads do exist and they do not usually have the same standards as roads in the rest of North America.

Muslim Friendly Rail Holidays in North America

Although it once held much of the continent together, and remains useful for local travel in many metro areas, intercity train travel now ranges from relatively convenient in the Northeast Corridor, to manageable in California, around Chicago, and parts of southeastern Canada, to sparse in other parts of the continent. If you prefer to travel by rail, it's still feasible (depending on where you go), but is slower and sometimes more expensive than air travel for long distances.

Among the areas with most frequent service is the U.S. Northeast Corridor which links Washington, D.C. to Boston with frequent stops in intermediate cities such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, New Haven, and Providence. There is at least hourly service in this corridor from 4AM to 1AM. In Canada and the heavily-populated Windsor-Quebec corridor has several trains daily which compare favorably in speed to freeway travel, although the cost to put one passenger on the train often exceeds that of intercity bus or of the fuel to travel by car.

In communities off the beaten track, often the rails have simply been removed and the former rights-of-way used as bicycle, snowmobile or nature trails. There are no railways remaining on Prince Edward Island or the island of Newfoundland.

Most private intercity rail carriers have abandoned passenger service as unprofitable, leaving de facto federally-owned entities such as Amtrak (in the US) and VIA Rail (in Canada) to operate the services that remain. Short commuter train runs are often regionally or municipally operated in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. See Rail travel in Canada and Rail travel in the United States. Compared to Europe and East Asia, speed is low and frequencies are sparse, but the views and the comfort may make up for it. Indeed on the spectacular routes some trains traverse in North America and the journey does indeed become the destination. High speed rail is if anything in its infancy, with only the Boston to Washington, DC Northeast corridor qualifying for even a generous definition, but several projects are either planned or under construction throughout the U.S.

In Mexico and Central America passenger trains are nominal at best (Like the Chihuahua al Pacifico Line through the Copper Canyon) and non-existent at worst (in most places). There are however some tourist trains, and various Central American countries as well as Mexico have actively considered whether to build a new freight or passenger rail line. Economic developments and - in the case of Mexico - a sharp drop in oil prices have at the very least postponed these plans for now, so don't hold your breath.

Travel by ship/cruise to North America

On the sea

The cruise industry is a large industry in some parts of North America, and cruises to places such as Bermuda and the West Indies are readily available, as they are to parts of Mexico. Cruises are offered as tours, and, if your travel begins or ends at a port in the United States, you generally must embark or disembark either at the same port or in a different country at the other end of the cruise. (This is due to cabotage laws.) The exception is if the line is owned and staffed by Americans, using American-built ships. (Most cruise lines are multinational operations.) Generally, cruises stop at a given port for only a few hours, so this method of travel may be inconvenient for people who want to stay longer at a port. Some locations, such as Washington, Alaska, San Francisco, New York City and Boston, have ferry service, allowing trips to various locations in or near them.

On lakes and rivers

North America contains a number of large bodies of fresh water, be it the Great Lakes between Canada and the USA or the various rivers traversing the continent and most of them are used extensively to ferry goods and people. Cruising on small craft certainly is an option in the US, as it is the nation with the longest inland waterways in the world. Canada similarly offers a huge number of options for owners or renters of small craft. In the less developed corners of Central America, some places are or were reachable by boat only or the waterway remains one of the more comfortable and faster ways to get there. Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua for instance only got an airport in 2014, but given flight schedules and the view from the boat, most will still want to arrive on the water. Places that are deeper in the jungle or otherwise off the beaten path may be best accessed by boat and some ferries (e.g. between El Salvador and Nicaragua or between Honduras and Belize) will spare you a roundabout route overland.

By foot

If you find yourself in a large city, like New York, walking might be the best way to get around because of the large amount of traffic that many large cities have. There are many sidewalks and footpaths to take in less populated areas. For the dedicated long-distance hikers the Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail are United States National Scenic Trails running thousands of miles between Mexico and Canada through some of the most mountainous and rugged areas of North America.

By public transport

While cities such as Managua are a traffic nightmare and the buses are neither all that fast nor all that comfortable (they're cheap, though), others such as Panama City have built modern metros in the 21st century that are very popular with tourists and local residents. Almost all self-respecting cities of a certain size in Canada and the USA have some form of metro or light rail to get you around at least downtown. Mexico City has the second biggest metro by ridership in the Americas (after New York City). Many cities were built with automobiles in mind and outside of the downtown core you may be lucky if a bus even comes your way once an hour on weekdays, even in places as big as Dallas. Touring the United States without a vehicle is a particular challenge though doable with advance planning and careful choice of destinations.

By bike

While there is hardly any traditional "bicycle culture" in most places (outside of recreational cycling, that is) and there are new "bike-share" programs in many cities in the USA as well as Mexico City and Canada. While primarily aimed at local residents, travelers can usually sign up as well (provided they have a credit card and/or passport). In more rural regions with a tradition of recreational cycling, you may very well get traditional bike rental by the day or week. Some cities have an emerging cyclist culture and joining up in a "critical mass" ride is a good way to meet the local residents and get into contact with the local cycling scene. Cycling is certainly on the rise in many cities of the continent, but even the most bike friendly places like Portland, Oregon, are a far cry from the like of Copenhagen or Amsterdam in terms of bike culture.

Local Language in North America

The three major languages of North America are English, Spanish and French. The United States and Canada are majority-English-speaking countries. English is also spoken in many Caribbean nations and the Central American country of Belize. A Creole variety of English is spoken by a minority along much of the Caribbean coast of Central America as well as on some Caribbean islands, most notably Jamaican, but it will take some getting used to and may be unintelligible to second language speakers of English. Mexico and the majority of Central America (mostly the Pacific side) and portions of the Caribbean are majority-Spanish-speaking. Spanish is also spoken as a mother tongue by a minority of people and second language by others in many parts of the United States. French plays a substantial role in Canada — especially Quebec, but also parts of Ontario, Manitoba, and New Brunswick — and a role in other places, especially the Caribbean (though in some countries a French creole is more common, such as Haitian Creole in Haiti). Dutch is spoken on islands in the southern Caribbean that used to be part of the Netherlands Antilles. Numerous indigenous languages are spoken by Native Americans and the Inuit peoples of North America including Greenland. There are some isolated communities where only a few people speak anything but their indigenous language, and in Mexico, Nahuatl and Maya languages are having a revival of sorts. Danish is spoken along with Greenlandic in Greenland.

What to see in North America

The range of things to see in North America is enormous. There is spectacular natural scenery ranging from mountains and tundra to deserts and tropical rain forests. The Rocky Mountains (Rockies) are the continent's largest mountain range, running from northern Canada to the southwestern United States. The Rockies contain some of the world's most visited national parks including the famous Yellowstone. North American cities like New York City, Chicago, and Washington, DC are home to some of the world's finest museums. Stunning architecture can be found from Panama City to Montreal.

North American wildlife, with iconic species such as the grizzly and the bison and the mustang and the bald eagle, is an attraction in itself. The tropics belong to another biogeographic region; see Central and South American wildlife.

Some of the best scenic areas include

Muslim Friendly Shopping in North America

Usually, you can buy large ranges of clothing and lots of electronics. North America is known for manufacturing lots of electronics, such as Apple, Hewlett Packard (HP) and Dell, which are all major electronics manufacturers from North America.

Many North American cities have famous shopping neighborhoods such as 5th Avenue in New York City, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and the Along the Magnificent Mile|Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Downtown shopping neighborhoods have spawned some of the world's most famous retailers including Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Neiman Marcus.

Many tourists enjoy shopping at the biggest shopping mall in the United States and the Mall of America. It's located in Bloomington (Minnesota) | Bloomington, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. As well as having an amazing number of stores, you'll also find a multi-screen movie theater, an amusement park, and some Halal restaurants--including both sit-down and fast-food. Also and the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta is a popular destination having once been the world's largest mall.

Halal Restaurants in North America

Since the United States was heavily populated by pioneering peoples and global immigration and the diversity of cuisine is immense. Many cosmopolitan cities (Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Las Vegas to name a few) have a broad array of Halal dining options.

Muslim Friendly hotels in North America

Hostels are available in the cities, though often in less desirable locations. If hostels are your usual lodging choice, consider options such as the YMCA or a affordable hotel. Independent hotels and international and regional hotel chains are widespread across both Canada and the USA. Most hotel chains have free smart phone apps to make it easy to schedule and keep up with travel itinerary while on the road. In these countries, as well as major tourist regions of Mexico and the Caribbean, high-speed internet service is typically available, though sometime at an additional fee. Hotel chains also offer reward programs and bonuses for frequent travellers, as do some of the online options. Bed and Breakfasts are available in many cities and other popular tourist destinations. Camping spots are widely available, generally along highways or near lakes and rivers, many require a small fee, so read signs and inquire. In more populated U.S. national parks (Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone) camping and accommodations within the parks will often need booking up to 12 months in advance. You may also experience challenges with accommodations at the small hotels just outside the parks during high-seasons.

To really experience life in the United States, a small bed and breakfast is the way to go! Bed and Breakfasts, which are usually run by the owners who live on the property, will give you a better feel of what it's like to "be an American". Many of these owners have traveled widely, read widely and have knowledge of their area to guide you to those unique experiences in the United States.

Stay Safe

Police and other emergency services are widely available most anywhere throughout the United States and Canada as well as most areas of Mexico and usually have fast response times. In the United States and Canada, police and other first responders can be summoned in an emergency by dialing 9-1-1 on a compatible phone. Safety varies widely from place to place, so see the appropriate article on the region of interest. Like anywhere, remember to training good common sense safety procedures and you should be fine.

Most places in North America are occasionally affected by severe weather. Since mountain ranges run from north to south, storms can bring dramatic temperature changes. Cold weather is a seasonal concern in parts of the continent; see winter in North America.

Medical Issues in North America

Tap water is usually safe to drink in Canada and the United States.

While hardly present in dogs in the USA rabies is a concern when bitten in Central America or a bat in the US. As rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms show (there is only one case of symptomatic rabies being survived by a human documented in the medical record) have a rabies vaccination before you head out and get to a doctor as soon as feasible if you are bitten.

Tropical diseases such as dengue and malaria are endemic to much of Central America, especially rural areas and the Caribbean side. If you want to go to Panama you will need a certificate of yellow fever vaccination.

The Zika virus has spread through much of Central America, but it is advisable to check official government advisories and individual country guides on before you go, as the situation can vary drastically between or even within countries. Zika is particularly dangerous to the unborn and thus pregnant women might want to postpone travel to affected areas.
