Purchase a local SIM card upon arrival for reliable internet access. This will help with navigation, booking services, and staying in touch with travel companions.
Cultural Sensitivity:
Familiarize yourself with local customs and etiquette. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and be respectful of local traditions, especially during Ramadan if your visit coincides with this period.
