You must either take your shoes off or put on a pair of red booties the ticket official gives to you when you enter.

The majority of locals remove their shoes and most westerners throw on the booties.

Why do Muslims take off their shoes in the Mosque?
Legally you can reference: Holy Perfect Qur'an 20:12: Verily I am thy Lord! therefore (in My presence) put off thy shoes: thou art in the sacred valley Tuwa. Also in the bible Exodus 3:5 "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Most of the websites I've seen say that it's done because it's holy ground, and is a sign of reverence. However, my Muslim guide when I visited said it's done to protect the beautiful rugs inside from getting worn out and dirty. I suspect there's some truth to both reasons, though how much of it is each is still a question. Also, to add on to the answer above, the sole of the shoes that we walk on have may have possibly been covered with some dirty substances such as dog excretion, therefore it is farz (compulsory) that the ground we pray on must be clean of such substances, otherwise, our prayers wil not count and we must repeat it. Also, it is sunnat (the way of the prophet muhammed (s.a.w)) to take of your shoes when entering the masjid (mosque). ----------------------------- Muslims remove their shoes before entering mosque NOT as a religious ritual but only for hygienic reasons to keep the fine carpets/rugs clean and tidy. If the prayer hall is not carpeted and one's shoes are clean then it's permissible to go in the mosque with shoes. It's also permissible to pray in shoes if shoes are clean (don't have impurity)
