Safety and Warnings
Rating:  |
Terrorist activities are directed against the American citizens and visiting Saudi Arabia is not recommended unless it is very essential.
Terrorist groups tend to attack places where westerners are located and this includes government facilities. This is a serious travel warning for all westerners visiting places in Saudi Arabia and it is best to maintain a low profile and be very cautious at all times.
While visiting a religious place make sure that you follow the dress code as there have been incidents of women being put in jail for not wearing an abbaya which is part of their tradition. Females are warned not to walk in dark and lonely areas at night or in the late evenings.
Avoid hassles with the religious police by observing religious laws and customs and follow any advice they give. While driving, do not drive carelessly or fast on the motorway and avoid bumps in the road or getting stranded in lonely areas.
Always carry extra water and fuel while travelling least one gets stranded in the middle of the desert in very hot weather as this could be fatal if assistance is slow.
