We recommend wearing light, comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes, as many archaeological sites require a lot of walking on uneven terrain. Don't forget sun protection like a hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. For visits to religious sites, modest attire that covers shoulders and knees is required. Also, bring your camera and a reusable water bottle.
