All about Saudi Arabia

When to Visit

The best time to visit Saudi Arabia is during the cooler months between October and March. This period offers pleasant weather for exploring outdoor attractions like the AlUla rock formations and the Red Sea coastline. Summer (April to September) is extremely hot, especially in desert areas, but coastal cities like Jeddah remain more tolerable. Winter is ideal for festivals like Riyadh Season, which showcases Saudi culture and entertainment.

Getting Around

Saudi Arabia has a modern and expanding transportation network. Domestic flights are the fastest way to cover large distances between cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. High-speed trains, such as the Haramain Railway, connect major cities and religious sites. Renting a car is a great option for exploring remote areas, while taxis and ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem are widely available in urban areas. Public transportation is limited but developing.

Traveler Tips

When visiting Saudi Arabia, respect local customs and dress modestly, with men and women adhering to cultural norms. Try traditional Saudi dishes like kabsa, mandi, and mutabbaq, and enjoy Arabian coffee paired with dates. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, but learning basic Arabic phrases like “Shukran” (thank you) is appreciated. Alcohol is prohibited, and public behavior should align with local cultural standards. Always carry identification, as it may be required for hotels or checkpoints. Be prepared for prayer times when shops and services may briefly close. Lastly, plan your itinerary in advance to navigate this emerging tourism hotspot efficiently.
