Curiosities
Features of Traveling to Muslim Countries
It is well known that Muslim people honor their customs and traditions and do not welcome when these customs are violated. Having a foreign passport without Moscow registration<\/a>, you can afford a trip to the Muslim world. Tourists here need to observe etiquette and established rules due to the conservatism of these people. Especially women need to watch their behavior and appearance, because Muslims have a stricter attitude towards them than towards men.<\/p>
How a woman should behave in a Muslim country<\/strong><\/p>
Below we present several recommendations for the fair sex that will help avoid unpleasant moments and better learn the culture of the Islamic people.<\/p>
1. Pay attention to clothing.<\/strong> When packing your suitcase, leave tight clothing, short shorts, skirts and tops at home. Take loose-fitting clothes, a wide jacket, long skirts, long-sleeved shirts. Also take care of what you will cover your head with, especially if you want to visit a temple or mosque. Following this rule, you will not catch disapproving looks from locals and can calmly enjoy the beauty of the Muslim world.<\/p>
2. The story about a husband.<\/strong> Generally, it is better to travel to Muslim countries in the company of a man. But if you went with a group of girlfriends or completely alone and do not have a husband, then we recommend that you invent this husband. Convince those around you that you are married and your spouse will arrive soon. After all, Muslim men really like foreign women and can sometimes be very persistent in their courtship.<\/p>
3. Do not let local men get too close.<\/strong> While we are used to communicating with men on a friendly note and can go anywhere with them, here it is a bit different. When inviting you to a simple dinner, a Muslim man already implies a closer relationship.<\/p>
4. Avoid eye contact with local men.<\/strong> Muslim women do not look at people when moving down the street. If you want to look around, it is better to wear sunglasses so that men do not see your eyes. This way you will protect yourself from unflattering comments addressed to you.<\/p>
5. Stay close to women.<\/strong> In public transport, avoid the male group, be near women. In some Muslim cities there is even separate public transport for women.<\/p>
By following these rules, you will not only show your knowledge and respect for the local culture, but also protect yourself from awkward situations.<\/p>
