Respect mosque dress code
Women should bring a loose scarf and long sleeves; men should avoid shorts when visiting the mosque—some garments may be provided but it's best to come prepared.
Stay hydrated
Carry a refillable water bottle—bottled water is often provided but temperatures can spike quickly, especially midday.
Plan photo stops
Allow extra time at Emirates Palace and the Corniche for photos; Ferrari World stop is external unless you buy admission separately.
Carry small local currency
Bring dirhams for market purchases, snacks, and driver tips—many small vendors prefer cash.
Light, modest clothing
Long sleeves and a scarf for mosque visits keep you comfortable and compliant with dress codes.
