Pack conservative, lightweight clothing that covers your shoulders and knees to respect local customs. You should also bring a versatile scarf, comfortable walking shoes for the streets, and plenty of cash.

Save money by eating at local neighborhood cafes instead of tourist-heavy spots, and always insist that petit taxi drivers use the meter.
