Islamic Compass HK vs SARAI

This App is developed by Dr. Philip Lee, Assistant Professor of Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU), Mr. Bosco Tsin, Lecturer of HKSYU, and his team. Through the App, users can easily locate and contact Muslim-friendly dining places, prayer rooms, hotels and establishments in Hong Kong and Macau. The comprehensive guide is designed to assist Islamic newcomers in settling into life in Hong Kong. The App development project was launched in late 2024, after the project team received feedback regarding the challenges faced by Islamic students in settling down in Hong Kong. This App is designed to address the difficulties encountered by these students, as well as by any users who may experience similar challenges during their visits to Hong Kong. We hope this App will create a positive social impact and contribute to making Hong Kong a more Muslim-friendly environment.
