The Experience
Before You Go
Start early to avoid heat and traffic
Morning departures reduce time in midday heat and make photo stops quieter; allow traffic buffer for hotel pickup.
Dress respectfully for religious sites
Wear shoulders- and knees-covering clothing or bring a scarf for mosque visits; shoes must be removed at some entrances.
Carry small local currency
Have small notes for tips, street snacks, or optional donations at temples and markets.
Expect photo-only stops
Some landmarks like Petronas Towers are often photographed from outside—plan extra time if you want to enter the tower separately.
