Putrajaya Private Tour with Guide — Best Photo Spots, Mosques & Lake Cruise

The Experience
Before You Go
Dress respectfully for mosque visits
Bring a scarf or long sleeves and long pants — some mosques provide coverings but having your own saves time.
Time it for golden hour
Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and capture softer light for photos.
Hydrate for tropical humidity
Carry a refillable water bottle; bottled water is usually provided but staying hydrated between stops helps you move comfortably.
Keep your camera wide-angle ready
Bridges and domes benefit from wider lenses or panorama mode to capture full architectural spans.
