Combine your visit with a walk along the adjacent canal promenade to see the structure illuminated after sunset.
Respect prayer times, as the mosque closes its main entrance to visitors during the actual performance of communal prayers.
Keep a shawl or scarf handy if you are visiting as a tourist, even if you are dressed appropriately, for added comfort.
Do not attempt to enter or take photographs inside the prayer hall during prayer times or when congregants are present.
Modest dress is required: men should wear long trousers and shirts covering the shoulders; women must cover their hair, arms, and legs. Shoes must be removed before entering the prayer hall.
