Start three of them 20 seconds apart ... for the full effect of local mosques.

Without living in the culture ... your best efforts will be stilted. Go and live ... they are a gracious, giving society ... and will welcome you.

You need to know more than "Dessert Sang " ... Try starting with Rory Stewart, and his book Places Inbetween

Robert Schuller (crystal cathedral)   had a son in law (Mark D.) who wrote a book circa 1975 ... about his six months living with some Bedouins ....

If nothing else... try following their hygene for a week ... squat, produce, and wash.
