Dress for the mosque
Women must cover head, arms and legs; men must cover shoulders and knees — bring a shawl or long layers to comply with mosque rules.
Beat the heat
Carry water, sunscreen and a sun hat; summers can be extreme and outdoor stops are best in the morning or late afternoon.
Light footwear
Expect flat, paved walking at sites but several stairways and long corridors — comfortable shoes will keep you moving with the group.
Photo etiquette
Photography is allowed in most outdoor areas but respect signs and worshippers inside the mosque; avoid intrusive shots during prayers.
Modest cover-up or shawl
Required to meet mosque dress code and useful for sudden indoor AC chills.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential during transfers and outdoor photo stops.
