Tips

Observe the mosque dress code: shoulders, arms and legs should be covered (no shorts or sleeveless tops). Women should bring a scarf for head-covering; often, the tour can provide abayas for the Grand Mosque visit if needed.
Comfortable walking shoes are a must – you’ll be strolling through the vast marble courtyards of the mosque and the expansive halls of Qasr Al Watan.
Bring sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen. The palace grounds and other outdoor stops can be very sunny around midday, and shade can be limited.
Have a good breakfast or pack a small snack. This full-day itinerary is packed with sights, and lunch might come later than usual (or be on your own), so it helps to have some energy on hand.
Expect security checks at sites like Qasr Al Watan. To save time, travel light and avoid carrying large bags or any sharp items that might delay the screening process.
Keep your camera charged – both the Grand Mosque and the palace interior offer stunning photo opportunities (the mosque’s reflective pools and the palace’s Great Hall are highlights). Just remember to be respectful when photographing religious or official locations.
