YOu should beware of some local taboos before gong there;
1. When in a mosque: try to cover your arms to the elbow, and your legs above the knees as a minimum; Don't shake hands with the opposite gender;
2.Don't order pork in a muslim restaurant (guide can help identify muslim restaurants)
3. Avoid sensitive questions, eg relations between ethnic groups
4. Alcohol, cigarettes: ask first and then behave in accordance with the answer (generally don't expect alcohol in a muslim restaurant)
