Day 1: Arrival, Kuta and Seminyak
Morning
Land at Ngurah Rai. Both terminals have prayer rooms, so pray before you leave the airport — the drive into Seminyak is short but traffic is unpredictable. Pick up a local SIM and some rupiah in the arrivals hall.
Afternoon
Check in and stay close to base. Walk the Seminyak beach path, or go straight to the shops and cafés along Jalan Kayu Aya. Bali is hot and jet lag is real; a slow first afternoon protects the next two days.
Evening
Sunset from Seminyak beach, then dinner nearby. Seminyak and Kuta have the densest cluster of halal restaurants on the island — Indonesian, Middle Eastern, Indian and Turkish are all within a short ride.
