These are low-risk preparations for a walk through a living historic quarter. They do not replace the current rules posted at individual sites, which always take priority.
The Walled City is home and workplace for residents, not an open-air museum. Keep to one side of narrow lanes, avoid blocking shopfronts and delivery routes, and ask before photographing people. Keep phones and wallets close in crowds.
Do not touch, lean on or climb historic brick, fresco or tile surfaces; lime mortar and decorative layers are fragile. Ask the relevant site staff before using tripods, drones or commercial equipment, and follow posted barriers. This guide has not verified any specific exclusion distance or permit fee.

The map pin marks the gate, not the entrance arrangements, parking or the opening status of any nearby building.
There is no single dress code for the public passage, but modest dress is appropriate for mosques and other religious sites you may enter.
Street photography calls for consent and courtesy. Tripods, drones and commercial shoots may require permission from the relevant authority.
Access hours and any charges for the interiors you plan to enter, the current weather and air-quality warnings, and a legal drop-off point.
