Top Architecture Spots in Saudi Arabia

Dress modestly and wear comfortable shoes. I made the mistake of wearing flops, and my feet were killing me by the time I left! Sandals with some support are a must.

If you're planning to go in the evening, keep in mind it can get a bit chaotic with visitors. I suggest getting there by around 6 PM to avoid the rush and enjoy a quieter atmosphere.

Make use of the benches available around the mosque to relax and people-watch. It’s a unique experience and gives your feet a break after walking around.

I found it helpful to wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, so having supportive footwear makes a huge difference.

Always carry a water bottle. You'll want to stay hydrated, especially when it gets hot, and buying water inside can be a bit pricey.

Try to visit Al Haram Mosque at around 5 AM. It’s less crowded, and you’ll have a more peaceful experience while praying or just soaking in the atmosphere

Remember to dress modestly, but keep an eye on the weather. The roof can get hot, so bring a hat and sunscreen; trust me, it'll make all the difference!

My advice is to bring some snacks and water. The food prices nearby can be a bit steep, and you'll want to save some cash for souvenirs instead.

I suggest checking out the view from the observation deck at sunset. It’s absolutely stunning! Just get there around 5 PM to grab a good spot before it gets crowded.

Don’t forget to charge your phone before you go. I missed some great photo ops because my battery died! Having a portable charger is also a plus.
