Dress modestly, especially near religious sites. Tipping 5-10% is appreciated in restaurants. Always greet shopkeepers and ask permission before taking photos.
Safety Warnings
Check current travel advisories before visiting, as the security situation can change rapidly. Avoid areas close to military checkpoints and travel after dark in rural regions. Petty crime is uncommon but remain vigilant in crowded places.
