Dress Modestly for Religious Sites
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothes and women should carry a scarf for mosque visits to ensure entry and respect local customs.
Start Early or Late
Choose a morning or late-afternoon departure to avoid mid-day heat and to get better light for photography in the souqs and along the corniche.
Carry Refillable Water
Bring a refillable bottle—the tour provides bottled water but refilling reduces plastic waste and keeps you hydrated in the desert climate.
Plan Cash for Souq Purchases
Many small vendors prefer cash for quick purchases and bargaining; carry some dirhams in small denominations.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes for paved streets and souq alleyways make the day more comfortable.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial in the UAE heat—fill at provided stops or hotel before departure.
