Dress modestly, especially near mosques and rural areas. Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated at restaurants. Greet elders respectfully and ask permission before taking photos of people.
Safety Warnings
Petty theft can occur in markets, keep valuables close. Be cautious after dark and avoid walking alone in isolated areas. Road travel after heavy rains can be difficult due to mud.
