Dress Modestly for Sites
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothes for mosque visits and conservative neighborhoods; lightweight fabrics work well at night.
Carry Small Cash
Many market stalls and street food vendors accept cash only—OMR coins and small notes are helpful for quick purchases.
Bring a Low-Light Camera
Evening illumination creates strong photographic contrasts—use a camera or phone with good low-light performance or a small tripod.
Mind the Pavement
Souq alleys and historic areas can have uneven stone and occasional steps—sturdy, flat-soled shoes reduce trip risk.
