Jama Masjid

Dress for an active mosque

Cover shoulders and legs, remove footwear where directed and keep voices low around worshippers.

Check tourist access windows

Non-worshipper entry pauses during prayers and Friday arrangements can differ, so verify locally before joining the approach.

Carry socks if the ground is hot

Bare stone becomes uncomfortable in summer; use authorised shoe storage and keep the token safe.

Choose morning for calm

The courtyard and approach steps are generally easier before Old Delhi’s commercial lanes become fully busy.

Expect substantial steps

The historic entrances are elevated and can be difficult for visitors with limited mobility.

Explore Matia Mahal thoughtfully

The celebrated food lanes are close, but choose a pace and hygiene level that suit your group.
