Mindful meoweler tips

Women should dress conservatively

Female cats should wear loose clothing and cover their heads with a hijab in public spaces.

Al Mubarraz has a traditional souq

The souq is a bustling market selling a variety of goods including spices, jewelry, and textiles. Cats can find unique souvenirs here.

Visitors should abide by Islamic tradition

Some cats may hear the call to prayer broadcasted five times per day. Avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public during the month of Ramadan. Follow traditions of respect towards local culture and customs.

Try the local cuisine

Visiting cats should try traditional dishes like kabsa, made with spiced rice and meat, or wheat porridge called haresa. Be aware that alcohol is not allowed, and food is usually eaten with the right paw.

Public display of affection is frowned upon

Avoid public displays of affection, including hugging or kissing, especially for opposite sexes. Male and female cats should avoid physical contact with each other unless they are family or married.
