Dress respectfully for religious sites
Wear shoulders and knees covered when visiting the Grand Mosque and other religious areas; women may be asked to wear a headscarf and long outer garments.
Hydrate and avoid midday heat
Carry water and schedule indoor museum visits for the hottest part of the day; summer highs can be extreme.
Bring small change for souqs and markets
Souq Al-Mubarakiya and the Fish Market work best with cash for quick purchases and bargaining.
Plan for photography etiquette
Ask permission before photographing people, especially inside religious and market settings.
Comfortable walking shoes
Paved streets and museum floors make cushioned, supportive shoes important for a full day of touring.
Sun protection (sunscreen & hat)
Summer sun is intense; SPF and a brimmed hat reduce sun exposure during outdoor stops.
