Dress for mosque visits

Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry water and take shade breaks—guides typically provide bottled water but bring a reusable bottle for refills.
Mind local customs
Photograph public spaces freely but ask before photographing people, especially inside markets and religious sites.
Bargain smart at souks
Start lower than your target price, keep negotiations friendly, and be ready to walk away if a stall’s price feels fixed.
Comfortable walking shoes
City streets and souk alleys require stable, breathable footwear for standing and light walking.
Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
Open courtyards and midday drives demand SPF, a broad-brim hat and sunglasses.
