Safety notes
- Summer here is humid as well as hot, and the humidity is what catches visitors out: shade, water and an indoor plan for the middle of the day matter more than the temperature reading suggests.
- During Ramadan, eating, drinking and smoking in public in daylight is not done, and opening hours shift; check before you plan a day around a site.
- Modest dress is expected away from hotel and beach-club grounds, and required at religious sites.
