Although most places in Saudi Arabia specifically, the places of worship require you to dress in a modest manner while visiting, dress code depends on individual establishments, some are casual, others go on with sophistication.

Foul/bad language, bad behavior, and obtruding on other’s religious believes is considered highly disrespectful. Respectful public decorum is advised.

The country's tone turns mellow and spiritual during the month of Ramadan. Some shops close succinctly during the times of prayer for worship.

Consumption, purchase & sale of drugs is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Please make sure to not offend the guidelines while visiting.
