How to Prepare for Your First Trip to Saudi Arabia

Visiting #saudiarabia is an unforgettable experience, but it’s important to plan ahead to make the most of your journey. From dress codes to travel tips, here’s how to get ready for your Arabian adventure. #postandearn I booked my flights and hotels in #riyadh and #jeddah using Trip.com, which made organizing the trip simple and stress-free. Before traveling, check visa requirements as most visitors can now apply for an e-visa online. Pack modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, as dress codes are stricter than in many countries. Women aren’t required to wear an abaya but are encouraged to dress conservatively. For men, avoid shorts in public areas. Plan your itinerary carefully. Don’t miss Al-Ula, the stunning desert town, and the historic sites in Medina. Remember that some religious areas are restricted to Muslims only. Lastly, get a local SIM card for easy navigation and translation apps. Booking with Trip.com ensures all your accommodations and transfers are sorted before arrival so you can focus on exploring this fascinating country.
