Ask before taking pictures.

In this culture it is considered inpolite to snap pictures of people with out their permission. Always ask with a smile, and say 'sawir'(picture)? They will understand and either say/motion, yes or no.

Also be careful or taking pictures/video of governmen/military areas.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
