Safety notes
- Makkah is closed to non-Muslims and central Medina has a restricted zone. Both are listed on this site because they are where a great many visitors base themselves — check your own eligibility before planning a trip around either.
- Summer heat here is a planning constraint rather than a discomfort: shade, water and an indoor plan for the middle of the day, and no long walk between late morning and late afternoon.
- Modest dress is expected everywhere in public, and required at religious and heritage sites.
- During Ramadan, eating, drinking and smoking in public in daylight is not done, and opening hours shift; check before you plan a day around a site.
- Do not photograph people without asking, and do not photograph military, port or government sites at all.
