Keep it simple: shoulders and knees covered. Head covering is optional for non‑Muslims but appreciated during prayer windows. Staff may provide wraps; bring a light scarf to be safe.


Coverage Basics

  • Tops: short sleeves fine; no sleeveless, deep cut.
  • Bottoms: trousers, long skirts; avoid shorts above knee.
  • Footwear: keep on unless entering designated prayer carpet zones.
Item Allowed Notes

Short shorts Opt for knee‑length or longer

Borrowed Coverings

  • At busy hours, wraps and scarves may be available.
  • Return borrowed items at exit points; keep them tidy.

Photography Etiquette

  • No flash during prayer; avoid pointing the lens at worshippers.
  • Tripods discouraged; be quick and considerate.
