Is there a dress code in Jerusalem?
Asked 3 years ago
My husband and I will be traveling to the holy land soon, and I've been wondering if we should be aware of any dress codes. As a married woman, what would be appropriate for me to wear in that country?

There isn't a dress code but visitors are expected to dress modestly at religious sites. Cover your shoulders, and legs above the knee, wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid mini-skirts, see-through clothing, and plunging necklines. You don't have to wear a hijab, but bring a scarf to cover your head when required! Men will be asked to cover their heads in synagogues with a kippah (yamaka).
