Last year, the rankings of the top Muslim-friendly destinations were released on the 18^th of February and had the destinations separated into the two categories of OIC destinations and non-OIC destinations. Several factors and criteria were taken into consideration when ranking destinations, including the destination's general family friendliness, the level of facilities offered to Muslim travellers such as Halal food and prayer facilities, as well as its marketing initiatives.

The rankings in 2013 included 50 destinations. In 2014, 10 more destinations were added and were ranked on a scale of 1 to 10 - with 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.
