Layla & Suhel

Welcome to Cartagena de Indias! We greet you with the joy of the Caribbean and the warmth of our Arabic hospitality to celebrate our wedding in this magical Colombian city, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Founded in 1533 by the Spanish, the "Corralito de Piedra", as it is called, treasures its history within the walls that have defended it since colonial times. Its viewpoints, narrow streets, and colorful balconies have withstood pirate sieges, as well as the passage of centuries. Its fascinating squares are infused with local flavor and the cultural blend that gave rise to its people. The people of Cartagena are known for their spontaneity and the kindness with which they welcome visitors.

Beyond its historical walls, we find another piece of Cartagena, with a republican origin and born with modernity. A bay connects both of them, offering a stunning display of boats that light up the tropical night.

Bienvenidos, welcome, ahlan wa sahlan!
