Travel Tips to Follow When Visiting Saudi Arabia

Here are some travel tips that can help you navigate safely and respectfully in the beautiful country of Saudi Arabia. When you are in Saudi Arabia, you will need to respect the local laws and customs, and dress modestly.

*Dress modestly*
Learn about the laws of Saudi Arabia and avoid behaviors that could be considered disrespectful or offensive to local culture. You can show respect by dressing modestly, as Saudi Arabia imposes conservative dress codes, especially for women. Women are advised to wear loose and modest clothing that covers their arms and legs - this could be a long tunic or a shirt that extends below the hips with pants or a long skirt. Women can also choose to wear an abaya (loose black cloak). Men also need to dress modestly and avoid clothes such as shorts and sleeveless shirts.

*What about swimwear?* It is generally acceptable to wear swimwear at beaches or private swimming pools in hotels. However, wearing revealing swimwear in public areas in Saudi Arabia is inappropriate. Try to choose modest swimwear options as much as possible.

*Be respectful*
Do not show any public displays of affection (such as kissing or hugging). This is considered inappropriate and offensive. Also, physical contact between unmarried men and women in public places should be avoided.

Respect religious practices. Saudi Arabia is home to the Islamic religion - you should show respect during prayer times, avoid disrupting mosques, and not enter prayer areas unless you are permitted to do so.

Make sure to follow these tips to enjoy your visit to Saudi Arabia safely and respectfully.
