Local Tips

Carry cash, as card facilities are rare, and plan for limited cell coverage in remote areas. Secure travel permits may be required for border crossings.

Cultural Etiquette

Safety Warnings

Exercise caution near border zones, avoid isolated areas after dark, and beware of petty theft in crowded bazaars. Occasional sandstorms can disrupt travel.
