Driving Directions

Normal driving time is about 6 hours (and well worth it!).  Please begin your travel early enough so you can arrive by 7:30pm, while it is still daylight. 

The site is quite difficult to find at night!

Directions to the Dar Al-Islam site

Coming to Abiquiu from the south on Highway 84: Just before coming to Abiquiu is the El Rito Road #554.  Turn RIGHT on 554 and then turn LEFT on County Road 155, immediately after crossing the Rio Chama River.  Follow the road to where the pavement ends, just at the overhead main entrance sign to Dar Al-Islam (which will be on your right side).

In poor weather conditions, the main entrance may be closed. You will just need to follow Road 155 a bit further to take the alternate entrance (at "Calle Colorada").
