Good to know
Men with shorts and women with shorter skirts are not allowed to enter the Bibiheybat Mosque. So it is recommended for men to wear/have trousers, and for women trousers, longer skirt or dress. This tour involves minimal walking overall, but reaching the viewpoint at Five Finger Mountain requires a short uphill walk with some steps.
