Dress for mosque entry

Allow time for security checks
Major sites like the Grand Mosque and Louvre have bag checks and queues—factor this into your camera and restroom plans.
Carry local currency or card
Some small vendors at Heritage Village accept cash only; most larger sites take cards but having a small amount of AED is useful.
