For summer, cotton light colored clothes. Still, no shorts or sleeveless allowed when you go to public places even when you're wearing abaya on top.
Moisturizer and lotion - esp during winter months. Your skin will be very dull and very dry. So, you need to moisturize and hydrate your face and body.
Sunblock - for extra protection against the sun.

Although cinema is one of the prohibited rules of Saudi Arabia I recommend to bring your favorite movies when you have to intend to work in saudi Arabia, and so be sure bring only the selection movies with out any pornography scenes and original copy is necessary.
Like my family is a movie addict we bought 3 TV at home, 1 for the car and we make sure that we’ll not be missed our favorite movie by watching it on a big screen with home theater system.

suitcase does fine, may need a backpack if you plan a trip to the desert.
sandals, shirts, shorts (knee length). It gets very hot in the Summer time
sweaters, jacket, scarf in the winter time as it gets very cold.
Drink plenty of water every day.
It is not allowed to photograph in public where women can be seen although it is okay if no one is around. Be careful as Government buildings are not allowed to be photographed.
Pack plenty of water, have a mobile phone with you and advise the embassy where you are going and for how long.
Do not attempt to bring alcohol into the country as you will be arrested. Alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Leave a Comment

Riyadh (which is the plural of an Arabic word meaning garden) enjoys a winter climate that is cool and pleasant with moderate temperatures. Rain is not unusual in the winter, nor are sandstorms. Summer is dry and hot, but without the uncomfortable humidity of Jeddah or Dhahran. Leave a Comment

Before you go:
• Know how to use the vehicle's jack
• Make sure you can undo the nuts on the wheels (Often tightened far too much for any normal human to undo)
• Know where the front and rear tow point are
Recommended packing list (even for short trips) that comes to mind.
1) Basic tool set
2) Jack and something to put under it
3) Tire puncture repair kit (The can style you put into the tire to seal a leak)
4) Tire pump compressor
5) Compass
6) Drinking water. At least 1 litre per person for every hour you are out in mid day heat. Alcohol dehydrates. Going two hours before sunset, probably 4-5 litres.
7) Water for your vehicle. At least 10 litres
8) Radiator sealant
9) Tow rope (Strap style is better than the steel rope). If the latter snaps someone will probably be killed if it hits them
10) Jump leads
11) Torch
12) Rubbish bin to take your rubbish home in
(You could always keep all these items in your car apart from the water) Leave a Comment
