Visiting Lahore’s mosques — Badshahi, Wazir Khan and others — is a highlight, and a little etiquette ensures a respectful, welcome visit.
Dress
Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees for everyone. Women should carry a scarf to cover their hair inside prayer halls (our guides carry spares).
Shoes
Removed before entering prayer areas and often courtyards. Slip-on shoes make this easy; there are shoe-storage points (a small fee, handled on our tours).
Timing
Non-worshippers should avoid prayer times, especially the busy Friday midday prayer. We schedule visits around them.
Behaviour
Speak quietly, don’t walk in front of people praying, and be discreet with photography (allowed in courtyards, often not during prayers). Non-Muslims are welcome to visit outside prayer times at Lahore’s major mosques.
Ramadan & Fridays
Extra sensitivity applies; your guide will advise on timing and conduct.
Follow your guide’s lead and you’ll be warmly received — these are living places of worship, and visitors who show respect are genuinely welcomed.
