Rama Duwaji, wife of Zohran Mamdani, Mayor of New York, chose Portugal for a luxury women's spiritual retreat dedicated to Islamic calligraphy. The event is scheduled for September and will last five days.
The retreat, which costs up to 4500 euros, is exclusively for women and offers training in Islamic calligraphy as the central activity. It is a luxury experience that combines spirituality with artistic learning.
The choice of Portugal as a destination for this type of event reflects the growing popularity of the country among Muslim travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences. Portugal has invested in infrastructure that welcomes Muslim travelers, including hotels with halal dining options.
Rama Duwaji is known for her involvement in women's causes, which makes her participation in this exclusively women's retreat particularly relevant to her public image as First Lady of New York.
