Declining mint tea can be seen as impolite; it's better to accept at least a small cup, even if you don't finish it, as it symbolizes hospitality.

Start by offering about half the initial price and negotiate with a smile, but avoid haggling too aggressively—once a price is agreed upon, it's expected you'll honor it.

Dress modestly, avoid eating or drinking in public during daylight hours, and be mindful of local sensitivities to show respect for the holy month.

Always ask for permission before photographing people, and avoid taking pictures of mosques or religious ceremonies unless explicitly allowed.

Eat with your right hand only, as the left is considered unclean, and try a bit of everything offered to show appreciation for the meal.

Accepting invitations is a sign of respect, but bring a small gift like pastries or fruit, and arrive slightly late as punctuality is less emphasized.
