In our opinion, it is much nicer to sleep in a beautifully furnished hotel in which doesn’t include a swimming pool. The first criterion for choosing a place to stay during a sightseeing trip is the location. There must be something in the area, an idea for spending the evening because we don’t go on trips to sit on a poolside sun lounger.

The most restrictive place in terms of dress is the Grand Palace. Clothes for women and men must cover their knees (be definitely below the knee), sleeves reach to the elbows, not tight. Scarves do not meet this requirement, and people who are not properly dressed are not allowed into the facility, so please prepare. It is possible to rent a clean outfit on the spot for a small fee to avoid wearing clothes. Due to the open space in the Grand Palace, we strongly recommend taking an umbrella or a cover over your head to protect yourself from overheating.
