Visitors should plan to arrive outside of the congregational Friday prayer period to ensure a quiet environment.
Ensure your legs and shoulders are covered before entering the prayer hall.
Parking is available within the resort complex, but it is best to confirm access with the resort security if visiting during major holidays.
Avoid visiting during Friday congregational prayer times if you intend to tour the facility, as it becomes crowded with local worshippers.
Visitors must remove footwear before entering the prayer area. Modest dress is required: women should wear headscarves and loose-fitting clothing covering arms and legs; men should wear long trousers.
