Local Tips
Bring cash, as cards are not widely accepted everywhere. Try the local fresh fish at waterfront restaurants. Modest dress is recommended, especially in public and religious spaces.

Tipping is not obligatory but appreciated; 10% is standard in restaurants. Dress conservatively (long sleeves and trousers for men, abayas for women). Respect prayer times and avoid public displays of affection.
Safety Warnings
The city is generally very safe, but be cautious at remote beach areas after dark due to lack of lighting. Watch out for strong currents while swimming near reefs.
