Know before you go

  • When one decides to visit certain sacred places or attend exclusive art exhibitions, it is customary for visitors to adhere to a prescribed dress code. The expectation is that everyone, regardless of their gender, demonstrates modesty by making sure their knees and shoulders are covered with suitable attire.
  • To enter, all visitors must go through safety procedures similar to the ones used at airports. It's important to remember that during busy times, like the peak season, the wait time at security could last around 30 minutes.
  • Baby carriages or strollers cannot be accommodated, unfortunately the tour is wheelchair accessible.
  • If you find yourself in the age bracket of 18 to 25, there exists a marvelous opportunity for you to take advantage of special rates tailored for students. Nevertheless, it is of utmost significance that you possess a valid student identification, specifically your university card, when embarking on your delightful tour. In the unfortunate event that you are unable to present this form of verification, it would result in a predicament where you are obliged to tender the outstanding sum corresponding to the standard entrance fee.
  • To ensure a prompt start, it is suggested that you arrive early to the meeting spot, approximately 15 minutes before the agreed time.
