Before You Go
Dress and conduct for the mosque
Wear long sleeves and long trousers or a dress; women should have a headscarf available and all visitors should avoid loud behavior during prayer times.

Confirm Ferrari World ride updates
Check the park’s ride and attraction updates before travel; some high‑speed rides have height/health restrictions and seasonal maintenance.
Plan for moderate walking
Expect several short walks totaling a few kilometers—bring comfortable closed shoes for both cultural sites and theme park queues.
