Safety Tip
Suicide bombs often go off early in the morning, as bombers spend all night psyching themselves up, then say prayers at dawn, before doing their bombing. So sleep-in and venture out of your hotel after 11am or so, thus drastically reducing your chances of ending up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Stay in hotel rooms above the ground floor, as they're likely to be the first to see action in the event of a terrorist attack. Avoid hotel rooms which are higher than fire engine ladders can reach, in case there's a fire or need for rescue for another reason.
