Not really, as you get a dress covering you from head to toe for free there anyway. Both guys and girls. So you can wear shorts and then get the appropriate cover at the entrance. Don’t worry, the lady will sort you out.

Pretty sure it's open to visitors daily 8.30am to 12.30pm and 2.30pm to 4.30pm, except Fridays. If you can, go back to the riverbank by the mosque in the evening to see the coloured fountains and blue riverside lighting that illuminate the area too - worth seeing the mosque from a distance then too.

You can visit anytime as long as it's not prayer time. There is a board outside that gives times for a tour.
