The Experience
Before You Go
Dress modestly for mosque visits
Wear shoulders and knees covered; women should bring a light scarf for head covering when required.
Hydrate and carry snacks
Bottled water is provided but bring small snacks for children between museum stops to keep energy steady.
Plan around prayer times
Mosque interiors may be closed during main prayers—schedule visits mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
