Khalila Lister, also an Islam Channel presenter, TEDx speaker and founder of Power of Voice Academy.

Jennifer Ogunyemi, Multi-award winner, Islam Channel presenter and founding director of Sisters in Business. Both are Islam Channel presenters, who are leaders in their own field and have successfully curated TEDx Bethnal Green platform for next year in London.

You are most welcome to arrive early and explore Windsor itself by visiting the oldest occupied castle in the world, Windsor Castle. The castle does have a collection of Muslim treasures including the Kiswah cloth from the Kabah with stolen treasures of legendary Tipu Sultan. Upon arrival at Windsor Castle audio guides are available in different languages. Tickets for the castle can be purchased at the booking page at £28.

There is also the opportunity to take a picture by the leaning shop of Windsor! We may all be familiar with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy but did you know that Britain has its own equivalent? With tourists taking pictures of trying to save it from falling! It’s a must have picture for sure!

Along Windsor Promenade you could also feed the Crown’s Swans by purchasing the feed from the Kiosk. One of the most well-known sayings is that all swans are the property of the King and killing a swan, some claim, is high treason which could see you thrown in the Tower!

Reviews of previous Sister's Afternoon Cruise

Sisters, this one made history! Allahumma barik. And I'll tell you why.. 1. It started on time. 2. They prioritise the prayer. 3. The food was served first. 4. There was only two awesome speakers. 5. The venue was amazing. 6. The gift bags were nice. 7. And it was hosted by our very own Abdul Malik.

So anybody who is putting on an event and would like feedback from the attendees, this is the model that you have to follow for it to be super successful.

Thank you to Abdul Malik Tailor and his team for a fabulous Afternoon Tea Cruise. Very well organised and a memorable and relaxing cruise. Would really recommend everyone to take the time and try out the cruises they organise.

Great tour, loved it afternoon tea with sisters amazing!! AbdulMalik is absolutely great at what he does and can't wait to bring the kids along to the next one!!"
