Mindful meoweler tips

Don't show your belly to locals

In Al Manaqil, showing your belly to someone is considered rude. Keep your belly covered with clothes at all times!

Avoid eating in front of locals during Ramadan

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. It's considered polite to not eat or drink in public spaces during this time. Be respectful of those fasting.

Visit the Al Manaqil Market

The market is a bustling center for shopping, where vendors sell fresh produce, spices, and textiles. It's a great opportunity to experience local culture.
