As you might know, in the Muslim culture you should wear clothing that are covering. The same thing for this mosque.
Notice these things:
- Wear something that covers your head
- Be covered until your ankles
- Shorts are not allowed
- See-through clothing is not allowed
- Be covered until your wrists
My pants were not covering enough, they were just above my ankles and when I told her I could put my pants on my hips (because I always wear it high) a little lower to cover my ankles, this was not allowed.
Underneath the mosque and before you enter, there is a little shopping mall.
Not just with clothes, but also with restaurants like McDonalds, for if you are hungry after visiting.
So because my pants were not allowed, I had to buy some very expensive clothing from there. First I was disappointed in myself, but when I saw the Arabic dresses I knew I wanted that.
Before visiting I was already wondering if I should buy something traditional and I am happy I did. Probably more expensive than outside, but at least I have a dress with a head cover for whenever I will visit an Arabic country or mosque again.
