TIPS
* When visiting a mosque, it is customary to tip the guardian at the entrance, as well as the attendant who keeps your shoes or gives you something with which to cover your hair (for women).
* Always ask before taking someone's photo.
* It is illegal to take pictures of army bases, airports, government buildings and places related to national security.
* Take all the necessary precautions against the Sahara desert heat-sun block, a hat, and layers. Always carry bottled water-both in a bottle, and in your body by adding salt to your food.
* Tap water is safe to drink but sticking to bottled water usually better suits visitors.
