However, it should also be kept in mind that it’s technically a Muslim region and a little bit of caution should be applied in some areas. T-shirts and shorts that are long are fine for both sexes in the cities, but when visiting mosques that are active, all visitors should wear pants which are shorter than the knee and tops that cover their shoulders. Also, a headscarf is suggested for women. In this tour, we’re traveling in remote locations which are rarely frequented by tourists.
