In public, dress and behavior are generally expected to be modest and gender-segregated in more conservative settings, so travelers should avoid overt displays of affection and be mindful of how they interact with unrelated men and women. In cities and among younger people the rules can be looser, but in family homes,
mosques, and traditional neighborhoods it is normal for women to cover shoulders and knees and for men to wait for a woman to initiate a handshake if they are unsure.
