The Experience
Before You Go
Dress respectfully
Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for mosque visits; bring a lightweight scarf for women to use as a head covering.

Expect cobblestones and narrow steps in the Fort and Old City—sturdy footwear reduces slips and fatigue.
Stay hydrated and time breaks
Carry sun protection and use shaded cafes or courtyards to rest—midday can be hot and humid.
Respect photography rules
Ask before photographing people and be aware that some interiors restrict flash or photos.
